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.

Hi Corkman. You don't know what you're talking about. You ever been to Prague and seen what the Naazi did there. Murdered ten of thousands. No one's going to ever let that happen again ... so don't get any ideas
How many people did the revolutionary left murder in Prague between 1945 and 1990? Mmmmmm. As many if not more than the Nazis. Two gangs of totalitarians fighting like football hooligans. Indeed you will find that a significant number on both sides are in fact football hooligans.
The USSR and the eastern block had nothing to do with revolutionary politics as their reaction to hungary 56 showed.
You might not like what the reality of revolutionary socialism was or became. That does not make it not so. The Czech socialists/Marxists/Stalinists/communists (take your pick) murdered, tortured and imprisoned several hundred thousand Czechs over a 40 year period.
How many people did the revolutionary left murder in Prague between 1945 and 1990? Mmmmmm. As many if not more than the Nazis.
And can you actually back up your idioitc soundbite with evidence of alleged parity between crimes committed by Czechoslvakia 1945-89 and the Nazi occupation? Funny how the likes of you and that Cork eejit always seem to jump to the defence of nazis when they get their holes kicked by anti-fascists.
Quack like a duck....................
You know before you even click on this thread there is going to be some clown screaming "freedom of speech". Don't even bother talking to fools like that.
It is quite clear from what I said that I despise the Nazis as much as totalitarians of the left.
If you do not know the scale of communist atrocities in Czechoslovakia, especially between 1948 and 1953 it does no more than illustrate your own ignorance.
FYI, the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia was relatively benign by their horrific standards. About 150,000 were killed, half of whom were Jews. Now, do some research and compare that to the numbers murdered by the communists.
"Historian" my arse, I went to secondary school but I don't classify what I learned there as "research". So now are only talking the Stalinist period, ignoring my request to back up your idiotic soundbite re. the period 1953-89. And if you think I am unware of the crimes of Stailinism you are displaying your own glib wilful ignorance, you are the one simplyfying the history of history of eastern europe 1945-89 to the Stalinist time - most of victims were left wing opponents of Stalin.
And while you're introducing atrocities, how about the 1million communists murdered by Suharto on behalf of the septics in Indonesia, don't recall the likes of you ever having got worked up by that. What is quite clear from your one-sided intervention is that you reserve all your spleen for anti-fascists, coating your sneaky agenda by introducing Stalinist oppression into any progressive anti-fascist action
You are a tiresome hysteric. I never at all mentioned "1953 - 1989". You just make up things as you go along and then introduce ridiculous red herrings when beaten.
Suharto! What in the name of jaysus has that got to do with it. And more to the point, what could you possibly know what I think about what happened in Indonesia?
My orignial point stands. Left and right wing totalitarians are two sides of the same coin and both wrought equally as much damage on Czechoslovakia as the other, except communism lasted longer.
I equally loath fascism/nazism as I do Marxism and all its variants.
As for you belief that most of the victims of Czech Stalinism were leftwingers! really? But then you know nothing at all about it do you?
video of nazi who pulled gun on antifa, vid head departs as gun pointed in his direction, later man is on ground after been beaten. IMC-germany has more info and nazi is named: petr kalinovsky.

You are a thinly-disguised right-wing sneaking regarder – to use the word “benign” in any context re. the Nazi occupation is shameful and suggests your true weasel agenda.
You are a tiresome hysteric. I never at all mentioned "1953 - 1989". You just make up things as you go along and then introduce ridiculous red herrings when beaten.
And before you go on your self-awarded victorious lap of honour you should actually read what you wrote;
"How many people did the revolutionary left murder in Prague between 1945 and 1990? , Mmmmmm. As many if not more than the Nazis." Get an abacus, the timeframe you mentioned is contained within.
Suharto! What in the name of jaysus has that got to do with it. And more to the point, what could you possibly know what I think about what happened in Indonesia?
And what in the name of Yahweh has Stalin got to do with the action by Antifa in Parague at the wekend? What I do know is that throwback reactionaries like yourself have very selective memories when it comes to crimes committed by your ideological bedfellows judging by your view of the Nazi "relatively benign" occupation of Czechoslovakia.
My orignial point stands. Left and right wing totalitarians are two sides of the same coin and both wrought equally as much damage on Czechoslovakia as the other, except communism lasted longer.
Thanks for your profound wisdom, I used to read Ladybird books myself when I was in primary school. And what has r that got to do with the AFA action at the weekend anyway?
I equally loath fascism/nazism as I do Marxism and all its variants.
So you equate a racist genocidal philosophy to the socialism . I doubt you put a tenth as much energy to loathing fascism as you do "Marxism and all its variants"
As for you belief that most of the victims of Czech Stalinism were leftwingers! really? But then you know nothing at all about it do you
It is a fact that many victims of Stalinism were leftwing, "most" was a typo, doubtless you're be dining out on your little victory - you seem to desperately require it.
More hysteria. Do you understand what "relative" means. I said that the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia was "relatively benign". Look it up.
The Nazis killed 150,000 in Czechoslovakia compared to millions in the USSR and Poland.
Now, do you understand?
I really should be charging you for grinds.
the only good fascist is a dead fascist
well done to the anti-fascists in praha. the only people who have EVER struggled consistently against nazism, fascism, counter-revolution have been the revolutionary left (anarchists and marxists).
others throughout history have valiantly struggled against fascism but this has only ever occured due to the horror and force of circumstance that fascism brought about, and i dont deny that, i salute it.
but, anti-fascism must always be around yesterday, today and tomorrow. as long as capitalism exists bigotry, racism, sexism, sectarianism will exist. only the end of capitalism will ever end the opportunity of wannabe hitlers and mussolini's.
WE REMEMBER THE HOLOCAUST AGAINST JEWS, GYPSIES, COMMUNISTS, ANARCHISTS, SOCIALISTS, TRADE UNIONISTS.
WE SAY NEVER AGAIN! NO FREE SPEECH FOR FASCISTS NOT NOW, NOT THEN, NOT EVER!
As I said you to use the word "benign" in any context in relation to nazi atrocities is shameful - get a dictionary.
As for your grinds - I doubt they have such facilities in the locked ward.
Spoken like a true Vyshinskey! Fortunately you and your comrades are not yet in the position to confine dissidents to mental institutions like the gold old days so I will continue to roam free :)
Never let it happpen again.
The Porajmos (also Porrajmos, pronounced “paw-rye-mawss”) literally Devouring, is a term coined by the Roma (Gypsy) people to describe attempts by the Nazi regime to exterminate most of the Roma peoples of Europe.

Sorry to deprive you of your favourite bogeyman (here irrelevant) in your attacks on anti-fascism but newsflash to your swamp - Stalin died in 1953, denounced in 1956, it is now 2007.
I found this thread by accident while searching for something else.
Just a couple of facts before I start. I am Irish. I have been living in Prague for 3 year. I was at the march demonstarting against the Nazi's.
I cant believe that the posts here could be a reflection of what Irish people are thinking when they came across this story. A huge number of pepole turned out to protest against the nazi's and the vast majority were not anarchists. The nazis picked that particular day for its historical background to provoke. they're intention was strictly to create a riot and get news paper headlines. This is not the first time they have tried this in recent years and to be honest the only diffence this year was that normal people who would never normally think of protesting for any reason were so sickened by the idea of nazi's parading through the jewish quarter.
Caobhain and Historian. it looks like neither of you did any research , you just seem to want to argue your point both of which are completely invalid in this case.
The Nazi's in world war II wer trying to eradicate Jews, Roma, Homosexuals and Slavs. Guess who the Czechs are?
How any Czech can decide to be a Nazi is beyond me. What are they going to do murder the first three groups and then commit suicide?
With regards to the Czech being communists the vast majority were not, but during their time behind the iron curtain if you didn't want to disappear overnight or lose your job you kept your mouth shut. Many politicians, lawyers, university lecturers did speak out and ended up sweepin the streets for the rest of their lifes if they were lucky, or were killed.
Most of these so called Czech Nazi's are good for nothing lazy f@ckers who are afraid of work and just like a bit of fighting to fill in the monotony of their useless lives. I think the police here did a magnificent job preventing this march turning into something that would have been something truly atrocious.
The normal Czech citizens here were also fantasitic. Very very few were not peaceful. The few hundred nazis (many not Czech) that did make it through were totally shocked by the sheer numbers of people and hated shown to them. Unfortunately the media has a way of exagerating (deliberately or not) a few incidents into a major news story. Should this story have been reported - Yes but no the way it was done. It seems that people from outside the Czech Republic are being lead to believe the were pitch battles going on all other the place when in reality the few that did take place were reported and left the readers believing that that was the general trend. The real story was how common people from all backgrounds and politcal beliefs publicly united against some that is simply unacceptable. A rare thing nowadays even in 'democratised' countries.
Anyway just felt I had to comment as after three years here it really does feel like home. I am an Irishman and am very proud of my nationality, but the Czechs are such a great people once you get to know them and surprisingly many of our social traits are so similar. It would be a great shame if Irish people reading this thread got the wrong impression of Prague. It is a beautiful city and I would hate to think of anyone from Ireland being put off visiting by an event such as this.
Here's wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New Year.
