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

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. The Saker >>

6,000km walker for peace returns to Ireland
After the marathon walk for peace across Australia, Mr Frank Muldowney, will return to Ireland in early December.
 From a young age, I always believed peace will be everywhere some day, because it is most wanted. I was innocent of course and indeed growing up did doubt my own beliefs. In 1985 at 19, I suffered from a brain haemorrhage and everything changed. A normal life was not set for me now, which was a blessing as from here on I could live my own way, following my own heart, my own thoughts and my imaginations. My health improved by travellng to many places and I felt the desire for peace was in everyones heart, in every country, but no one knows how to achieve it and because of it, it is never discussed. I felt I had to try to find away to talk about it and bring that deep desire for peace again, but I didn't know how.
After 35 years of seeking for an answer, I awoke one night at 3am, with a brainwave childlike idea, of introducing the immortal, invincible peacemaker across the world, to announce world peace is coming. To make it even more challenging for me, this peacemaker is invisible, can only be seen by the presence of his own wheelchair and his name is Harvey! These thoughts came from little memories in my youth, Harvey the invisible 6 ft rabbit from the film that my father loved, the wheelchair that I was fascinated about years ago when I was in hospital and the core of this thinking came from a quote that I had forgotten:
"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the entire world" - Albert Einstein.
To create something that doesn't exist, one must believed in it first. We never had world peace before, so I knew I must believe in this in the future, and live that it is a matter of time. Harvey, fits nicely into that quotation above, as Harvey is anything good, that is imagined. This replies to everyone, every dream every hope is invisible until you make it real.
This was the proof I needed, that when the human mind want's something, it always becomes real, from the desire to fly, to space craft, to electricity to the internet. So now in the same way, I decided to ignore my pride, make a fool of myself if needed and get as many people as possible to talk about Harvey my invisible friend. Nothing becomes real until it is being discussed, so I started this walk across Australia, to introduce Harvey, and see how far will it go.
I have now walked 6,000 kilometres across Australia pushing Harvey. I managed to speak about peace, with a smile, in the newspapers, the radio and television. Not bad for a working classe, ex-credit union worker who lived in a quiet parish in Dublin. I never knew what I was capable of doing until I followed my heart.
I was and still am a complete beginner to the media, but I am fully aware of its power. The media can create a war and end one, depending on how much it is being reported. Orson Welles showed that on his radio programme in 1938, where it was acted that the world was under attack by aliens. It caused panic in the country, they thought it was real, but of course it was only a radio programme. So baring that in mind, wouldn't it be interesting if it had been done with creative and positive intentions, rather than spreading fear. It is clear to me that it is possible to create peace through the media and change the mind-set that peace can never be achieved. I wonder what would happen if we saw headlines that says "World Peace Declared", even if it wasn't true or not. It would make one think of the possibility that we are that close to world peace as we always depend on the media to tell us if we have peace, or not.
We love the movies, music, art and comedy. We all create things everyday. I just smile when I think of what we are all capable of creating in the future and it will be that day, when we are much happier, as it is only us who can create peace and a better future for ourselves.

Thing is, they probably only let you on to try to re-enforce the stereotype that people who are anti war are all a bit nutty when it comes down to it. In a way you were playing into their hands.
As an example, witness what they have done to the animal rights movement. They wheel out that same 10 year old clip with the balaclavas or interview the most out there person on a protest and the average joe is left thinking "what a bunch of nutters they are" and wants nothing to do with them.
Anti war guy, wheeling an invisible rabbit around the world? Yep, that'll serve our purposes nicely. He's the man we'll interview.
Hope you managed to turn the tables and beat them at their own game. Are there any recordings online of the interviews so we could listen to them?
How are the feet? :-)
Why possible difference can such pointless lunacy serve?
..well, the persuit of happiness is the one thing we all follow, and each persons role is different. I admire anyone who 'tries' to made a difference. It is the ones who tries nothing are the ones who make pointless comments. Congratulations Mr M.
