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 >>

2nd Screening of Videoactivism and Independent Documentaries, Caracas January 2008
* The collective editors of the Venezuelan journal El Libertario and the Organizacion Nelson Garrido, have issued a call out for filmmakers and video activists from all over the world to present their recent autonomous works concerning active social movements in struggle. This will be held in Caracas, Venezuela, between the 21st and the 28th of January 2008.

Two years ago as part of the Alternative Social Forum, an autonomous event that ran parallel to the World Social Forum that took place in Caracas in January 2006, the first screening of Independent Documentaries and Videoactivism took place, in which 13 documentaries from seven countries were screened (www.fsa.contrapoder.org.ve/muestravideo.htm). We are issuing a call out now for the second screening which will take place in the Venezuelan capital, as well as in other cities in Venezuela.
This event is open to productions in the Spanish language, as well as those made in other languages as long as they have Spanish subtitles. Productions to be entered must be on DVD and have a sheet with the appropriate technical details. Anyone interested in participating should contact us with a brief synopsis of their project at: periodicoellibertario@gmail.com
The objectives of the screening are:
- To screen recent autonomous audiovisual productions that document social movements.
- The creation of a space dedicated to the development and diffusion of videoactivism.
- To promote independent film circuits, alternatives of intercultural exchange and audiovisual projection.
In addition to this, we shall be showing, as a special activity, the film screening “Grito surburbano: 30 años de punk en Iberoamérica” (Shouting from the suburbs: 30 years of punk in Latin America), with the objective of recording the context of poverty and military dictatorship in which this counterculture developed in our countries.
The venue for the screenings in Caracas will be the headquarters of the Nelson Garrido Organisation (ONG), an independent space for alternative culture and development, (www.organizacionnelsongarrido.com), from the 21st to the 28th January 2008. The organisers hope to include in the program a basic theoretical/practical workshop on documentary film making for activists of social organisations. The ONG offers to pay for the living costs of anyone who would be able to facilitate this dynamic training.

II Muestra de Documentales Independientes y Videoactivismo, Caracas 1/2008
* Desde Venezuela, el Colectivo Editor de El Libertario y la Organización Nelson Garrido están convocando a cineastas y videoactivistas del mundo entero a presentar sus realizaciones recientes hechas autónomamente desde y para los movimientos sociales en lucha. La cita es en Caracas del 21 al 28 de enero de 2008.
Hace dos años en el marco del Foro Social Alternativo, evento autónomo y paralelo al Foro Social Mundial realizado en Caracas en enero del 2006, se realizó la Primera Muestra de Documentales Independientes y Videoactivismo en donde se proyectaron 13 documentales de 7 países diferentes (http://www.fsa.contrapoder.org.ve/muestravideo.htm). Para el próximo mes de enero de 2008, convocamos para la segunda edición del evento, a realizarse paralelamente tanto en la capital venezolana como en otras ciudades del país.
Los objetivos de la Muestra son: exhibir las recientes producciones audiovisuales hechas autónomamente desde los movimientos sociales, la apertura de un espacio para la difusión y formación en el videoactivismo, y promover los circuitos independientes y alternativos de intercambio cultural y proyección audiovisual. Además, en esta segunda edición se proyectará como evento especial la muestra fílmica “Grito suburbano: 30 años de punk en Iberoamérica”, con la intención de recordar el contexto de pobreza y dictaduras militares en el que se desarrolló esta contracultura en nuestros países.
La convocatoria es abierta para producciones de habla castellana, y las realizadas en otros idiomas siempre y cuando posean la debida subtitulación en español. Las producciones interesadas deben ser remitidas en formato DVD, anexando una hoja con la ficha técnica de la misma. Lo/as interesado/as en participar deben comunicarse a la brevedad, enviando una sinopsis de su proyecto al siguiente correo electrónico: periodicoellibertario@gmail.com
El lugar de la Muestra en Caracas será el local de la Organización Nelson Garrido (ONG), un espacio independiente para propuestas alternativas (www.organizacionnelsongarrido.com), durante los días 21 al 28 de enero del 2008. El evento desea incluir en su programación la realización de un taller teórico-práctico básico sobre documentalismo, destinado a activistas de organizaciones sociales. La ONG ofrece costear la estadía y alimentación de quien pueda facilitar esta dinámica formativa.
