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 friends,
We haven't received a call yet but thanks to the BOP website know
that Steve is in California - looks like it's about a 2 hour drive
from L.A. or San Luis Obispo, near Bakerfield. I just talked to
someone at the prison. It seems to be a privately owned minimum
security facility.

At a detention hearing today in federal court in Tucson,
Betsy Lamb, a retired Catholic lay leader, and Franciscan Fr. Jerry
Zawada were jailed without bail until their trial. Lamb, Zawada and
Mary Burton Riseley were arrested on November 18 at Fort Huachuca,
home of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School, during a
protest of military use of torture against war detainees.
Magistrate Hector Estrada was concerned by evidence that both
Lamb and Zawada had failed to heed an order of the court in cases
pending in other jurisdictions.
Betsy Lamb is awaiting trial for a September anti-war protest
outside the office of Rep. Greg Walden, in Bend, Oregon. As a
standard condition of release on her own recognizance, Lamb had
promised not to commit any other crime while awaiting trial. Fr.
Zawada has an outstanding bench warrant for failure to appear for a
court date in Washington, D.C., where he has been arrested several
times in recent years for anti-war protest.
Army Prosecutor Capt. Evan Seamone came to court with three
witnesses in dress uniform, several poster-sized photo enlargements and a videotape of the arrests. But the magistrate said he already knew the defendants' intent, and would only listen to Seamone's summation. Seamone described the defendants' peaceful passage through police barricades at the gate of Fort Huachuca as a violent act because it had to be met by police, who were forced to go face to face with the unarmed protesters and lift them from a kneeling position. In the eyes of the law and legal precedent, Seamone argued that such violent trespass warranted pretrial detention for the safety of the community. Were the court to release Zawada and Lamb, "their blatant defiance is likely to happen again" Seamone warned, gravely predicting that "all kinds of chaos" would ensue at the gate to Fort Huachuca.
Attorney Rachel Wilson, representing the defendants, objected
repeatedly without success to Seamone's arguments. Wilson told the court that Ms. Lamb had "learned her lesson" and was willing to post bond along with her promise to return to court for trial.
Estrada was unmoved. He told the defendants he didn't trust
them and that he believed they were right where they wanted to be -
before him in chains. Protest is brinksmanship, and the point is to
not be arrested; better to organize a conference or seminar, he
chided. Estrada then ordered that Lamb and Zawada be kept in
custody until their February 4 trial because they "remain a flight
risk, and are a danger to the community." Not even Capt. Seamone had suggested that the defendants were a "flight risk".
Responding to the court's conclusion, Felice Cohen-Joppa said
of her friends, "Betsy Lamb and Jerry Zawada are not a danger to the
community - they, along with Mary Burton Riseley, are the conscience of the community. They are shining a light on the involvement of military intelligence in torture around the world. Their nonviolent acts are no more a danger to the community than were the nonviolent acts of Cesar Chavez and Martin Luther King, Jr."
Lamb and Zawada are not the only people now in prison for
peaceful protest of U.S. torture practices. On October 17,
Magistrate Estrada sent Frs. Steve Kelly and Louie Vitale to prison
for five months in prison for a similar protest at Fort Huachuca in
November, 2006. They are scheduled to be released in mid-March.
