Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!
This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".
According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.
People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.
AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.
Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza
Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support
With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza
China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty
A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Is Mary a genuine contributor or an Israeli propagandist? She certainly has no idea what she's talking about...
1. Palestine has not always been called the land of Israel.
2. Jews are allowed to practice their religion in Arab countries.
3. The Israelis imported Jews to Palestine in order to secure a majority, not the other way around.
4. Jordan's Palestinian population may never have lived in Palestine (I'm not sure), but more than 90% of Israelis are immigrants from Europe, the US, Britain, Russia and several other countries.
5. The reason Jordan doesn't "become Palestine" is because it is Jordan. Palestine is the land that the Zionists stole from its native Arab population and the Palestinians are fighting for their land, not to create a colony in Jordan.

It is obvious by this that you dont really understand what is going on.The funny thing is that we keep explaining it to you over and over, but you still-like alittle stubborn child-refuse to face reality. You are too brainwashed by the propaganda.
Now,i can understand why that is.I know about the horrible history of jews that has led to this.That has led you to think the way you do about things.I can understand where you are coming from.But that is not an excuse.It still doesnt make it right.It is still wrong.
I feel sorry for you.And i mean that in the best and nicest way possible.
Having met members of an Israeli-Palestinian anti-apartheid group, I would have to disagree with your gross generalisation that Arabs hate Jews.
By the way, do you know what country in the world has the second highest proportion of Jews in the world after Israel?
Iraq.
And why do all these people who think that Israel was always Jewish ignore the fact that Jews numbered a tiny minority in what is now Israel before the twentieth century. Many of the indigenous Jews felt the same way as other native people about the influx of European and American Zionists.
MARY. WHY ARE YOU SO CONFUSED ALL THE TIME. WHY DO YOU ASK SO MANY QUESTIONS. WHY DONT YOU CHASE YOUR OWN ARSE. WE SEE YOU.WE SEEN THESE WAYS BEFORE.ARE YOU NOT BORED YET. GOODBYE. GOODBYE
I can see why it has taken your country so long to be conidered a 1st world country. I hope all the investors in your country back out untill you realize that you are wrong. I calll for economic sanctions against Ireland and its imported cheap labor untill they get theu=ir terrorists out of their country and learn the facts and beome reasonable. There will never be a Palestine in Israel!!!I hope the brittish stay in Northern Ireland.
I am afraid that the "author" of this posting is either a very stupid person and/or an appalling zionist propagandist. The Palestinian people were ethnically cleansed from their own country to make way for the surviviors of the nazi genocide. After the nazi "final solution" I believe that the Jewish people have a right to a state of their own but so do the Palestinian people who cannot in any way be held responsible for what happened in Europe during world war two.
I completely agree that the Palestinians should have their own country but not in Israel or the so callled occupied Palestine I also agree that the Kurds should have their own counrty as well.
Absolute nonsense, the compromise solution which would understandbly be painful for the Palestinian people to accept, is a complete withdrawal of the zionists from all occupied land beyond their internationally recognised borders and a complete dismantling of all illegal "settlements". However Sharon is not interested in such a compromise, he prefers more illegal "settlements" and ethnic cleansing.
Mary has just expressed admiration for some of the most brutal, exploitative, warlike, corrupt countries on the face of this planet.
If being part of the "First World" is something to be admired, we will deduce what lengths she is willing to go to to join the brutes.
Most palestinians have always lived in Jordan. They moved to Israel in orfer to get jobs which the Israelis brought in. Learn your facts. There are many policies made in order to placate those oil companies and a still leagering anti-Jewish feelings. Its pretty complicated . Since when does the left believe in the UN give me a break.
