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.

Dear Board Members:
I write to you today with the utmost urgency. Troy Anthony Davis' execution
date is just one week away and I respectfully request that you commute
Troy's death sentence immediately.
The death penalty is an irreversible action with victims far beyond the
individual in question. By no means should the murder of Officer Mark Allen
McPhail be ignored or condoned. Officer McPhail's family, friends and
community have lost their loved one, friend and colleague and justice must
be sought.
However, recent developments including new evidence indicating a possible
alternative suspect in the case means that significant doubt has been cast
on the conviction of Troy Anthony Davis. Supporting this doubt are the many
witnesses who have recanted their trial testimony.
There has been a large number of wrongful convictions in capital cases in
the United States since 1976, the unreliability of witness testimony being a
contributing factor in many of them. Please do not add Troy Anthony Davis
to this list. Once done, the death penalty cannot be reversed.
Your power to commute Troy's sentence and your power of clemency exist as a
failsafe against irreversible error. I ask you today to exert that power
and commute Troy's sentence. At the very least this will ensure that
further investigation into the alternative suspect can be carried out. At
the most it will ensure that a possibly innocent man will not lose his life.
Sincerely,
(your name)
Troy was granted a 90 day stay of execution by the Georgia Parole board on Monday. see
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/jul2007/troy-j17.shtml
My son and I both work as police officer's. If we keep letting these type of cop killers go free,police officers throughout the country might as well turn in there badges and let the criminals run rampent. Incidents like this are more common now,more than ever.Everybody that commits a henious act claims to have rights. What about the rights of the innocent.The familes who are affected.I run into alot of criminals, and they all cry, "It's all about me". One drug dealer made the comment, "The money is worth the time".
Officer Mike Beblar
Even if Mr. Davies is guilty, I certainly don't believe he should be executed. And given the doubts about his
guilt, his certainly deserves at least a stay of execution.
Interesting that the American conservatives who whinge about "big government" have no problem giving
federal and state governments the power of life and death over its citizens.
Michael - have you not actually read the original story? Surely you have grasped that there are valid concerns about the way this particular case was investigated and prosecuted. And surely as a police officer you can appreciate the reasons why these concerns are valid. Whether or not you are a supporter of capital punishment for those that murder police officers it is in everyone's best interests that miscarriages of justice are avoided. If this guy did not in fact commit the murder he has been found guilty of, then there is a real killer on the loose who could possibly do it again. Also, the evidence seems to state that capital punishment is not a deterent against murder. Your own country's statistics are proof enough of this.
