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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7The women who have supported the FGM agenda to do for societal reasons, in much the same
way as Irish women have colluded in the destruction of their sisters and daughters. It
is largely women who attend the rituals and it is largely women who openly repress their
daughters in Western Society in order that they will 'fit'.
The ritual use of FGM is about power and it is about possession and it is about abuse.
It ensures that the girl who slides her leg as she walks; and is identifiable by her teeny steps is
not 'open' until she is bought or traded. It also ensures infection, difficult childbirth
and a bad sex life. The practice will no doubt continue and the price of the girl will be higher.
It will just go underground.
Oh seems women are the cause of us 'living in a mans world....' ..very sad, no regard for the poor girling & the pain...oh,my....
The use of the term 'female circumcision' implies that this barbaric practice is analogous to cutting the foreskin off the penis. It is not. The latter is unnecessary but does not cripple a man for life. 'Female genital mutilation' is the term that should always be used.
Thanks for posting this.
I am delighted to hear that the Egyptians have banned this practice. Why wasn't is publicised in the mainstream media I wonder?
Of course they will continue to do it but rates of FGM will lower and some day women will be able to live free of the fear if this being done to them.
Well done for bringing this issue to our attentions.
I am writing a school report on this matter. I am shocked that this kind of practice is still going on today. A lot of females in my class are grateful for you keeping up with the times, and informing them of such material. It is very informative and as a male in the medical industry i can appreciate this information as well. Thank you!
Have you ever seen the operation of circumsion on a male infant. The infant is strapped down and the foreskin removed with no anesthic as the infant flails about in pain. But this is ok? B.S. this is nothing more than some stupid custom deramed up bt a religious sadist. There is no mediacl proof that this is benifical other than it is easire to cleanse the penis. With a male it is circumsicion and with a female it's mutilation? Stop this crap for both sexes not just one
When we arrived at the doctor's office to have our infant son's circumcision done he was asleep in my arms. The nurse suggested that we might want to wait outside because the crying can be disturbing and that they would bring him out to us when they were done. We had no more than closed the doors to the car when the nurse walked up with our son in his arms after less than 5 minutes.. Concerned I ask "you didn't do the procedure?" He said "Yes it's all done. He slept right through it." The nurse held him in his arms during the procedure. It is that holding them down, binding them to a papoose board that makes the baby cry in frustration. Not the procedure. The procedure is painless if done correctly.
