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.

six months? Pah! Its 3 years+ here I think.
Used to be "indefinitely" until someone coughed and politely mentioned it to eircom.

What can you do to protect yourself?
well, ideally, stop using internet, mobile phone, credit card, bank account, pay for everything in cash, burn your clubcard etc etc. Don't sign on or apply for government aid of any kind. Don't travel abroad. avoid filling in forms correctly (don't hesitate to tell lots of inconsistent lies when there are no major penalties involved!!) or at all. Say NO when routinely asked for private info and ignore the bovine looks and annoyance that you get in response. You have to fight for privacy unfortunately.
However most of that advice is really not practical for most folk.
However, here are some tips and software suggestions to improve your online privacy (which are fairly practical )
(0)use https://www.indymedia.ie/ :)
(1)Encrypt your mails routinely. Even if you've "nothing to hide". It helps those who do from not standing out. By those who do, I mean activists and the like, not criminals. These laws make little difference to them. They already protect their activities using the best tech money can buy.
(2)Cycle the power on your router daily (or as often as you can). This changes your IP address
(and do set your browser to delete all cookies when you close it down. firefox can be set to do this)
(3)Be wary of services who say they will obfuscate your web activity. These use a lot of expensive bandwidth. Why would someone spend that money for nothing but a principle? humans ain't that good hearted!
(4)Use open source software (firefox, thunderbird, enigmail, peerguardian, linux if you can)
(5)run a peer IP blocker
(6)resist all technologies and software that try to encroach upon your privacy
(7)reject Intellectual Property legislation, software patents, drm and all such insidious technologies designed to hamper your online freedoms. do not buy devices / software which promote such technologies. copyright law was never meant to restrict mankinds endeavours to the degree advocated by greedy corporations.
