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.

Eli,
You're my hero. I will now commit to help rally support for you.
You are a true American.

They courts-martialled a soldier who 'disobeyed orders' and refused to go back to Iraq last year, and in the court room next to these proceedings another soldier was being courts-martialled for 'obeying orders' . The same defense lawyer in both cases Ramsey Clark, couldn't help but notice the contradiction.
Wouldent it be great to see one Irish cop-just one, for now, refusing to protect Shannon for Bertie and Bush. There must be one cop with the courage to refuse on humanitarian, legal, constitutional or just simply moral grounds, or mabey the O.T. is just to much to turn down. The profit from misery is to enticing, once the misery is not your own. The Irish media (RTE) have done a wonderful job in dehumanising the Iraqi people so we can kill them.
Two months ago, I took a stand that changed my life forever. As a Soldier, a JVB Protective Service Agent, and a Sniper with the Army who had been in Iraq for a year (running over 250 combat missions), I refused to continue to be a part of the occupation. I regret nothing. This is my story. Currently, as I write this I am sitting in Kuwait, on “stand-by” to return to the States sometime hopefully this week. After getting out of the brig last week, I’m now scheduled to be discharged from the Army within the month. I’m looking forward to joining forces with anti-Iraq-War movements, such as Courage to Resist and Iraq Veterans Against the War.
What led me to this place in my life?...

The U.S. government abolished the draft shortly after the Vietnam war in the 1970's. Consequently no U.S. citizens are forced to join the military service to participate in activities or wars they don't believe in. But people voluntarily joining the armed forces are well aware of the fact that they may be shipped off to oversea combat zones. If Mr. Israel is objecting to this, then he shouldn't have joined the military in the first place, and should have kept looking for a different job opportunity. Consequently I have no time for these 'Johnny come lately' types like himself.
Michael Martin. Invading Iraq was illegal. Your comment has no justification. In any job, if you are asked to commit a crime it is illegal and not justified. The US government has ordered soldiers to commit a crim in invading Iraq. I salute the courage of those bravely standing up to the US.
The draft may have been abolished but soldiers are forcded to serve against their will. Their enlistment periods are being extended and they do not get a say in it. Reserve Units who never thought they would have to fight are also being sent to die in Iraq. They are not allowed to resign.
Effectively conscrition exists under a different name.
I take no joy in the death of US soldiers but they are part of an occupying force. This invasion and occupation has led to the destruction of Iraqi Civil Society.
OK, this guy was not a protestor of the war. He was a bus driver on the FOB, he did not run over 200 combat missions, he was not a sniper - if you believe that, then ask him what weapon systems we use, range, MOA, types of ammo they fire, etc. This is all one big lie. You should really check out his past, he joined the Marines, was kicked out, joined ROTC @ Western Ky Univ., was kicked out of that, joined the Guard, joined Officer Candidate School, was kicked out and got kicked out of Iraq. All of his BS started because he over slept for his bus driving duty and was going to have to pull 4 hours of guard duty. So he then decided to become a C.O. He has lied so much, there are a hundred and five people in his company still in Baghdad that will testify to this. Do a little research on his background and character.
