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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Once again Pam Anderson calls herself Canadian after becoming an American citizen. In my eyes she is the same as Paul McCartney and Heather Mills coming into Canada to judge our lifestyles and culture. Please remember Ms Anderson you walked away from Canada and therefore cannot in good faith call yourself Canadian
Seals don't care about the nationality or packaging of anybody, they just need saving from wholesale slaughter. Good for Pammy, hope she goes on to more work defending flora, fauna and environment.
pam redefines what a celebrity can do for a cause, way to go!
I'm a Canadian and, like most Canadians, I detest the seal slaughter. There is nothing Canadians can do about it because the three major political parties all support it (because they can't get elected without the Maritime vote). It's up to the rest of the world to stop it, and I wish you the best of luck. Keep up the pressure! (Always, at this time of year, stooges for the sealing industry flood the net with pro-sealing garbage, but they do not represent normal Canadians.)
Being anti-cruelty does not equate with being anti any particular nationality. As it has already been pointed out, seals and other animals do not care about boundaires created by humans. Here in Ireland we have plenty of cruelty going on and plenty of protests by both Irish and international activists who want to stop it.
That said, I would have serious reservations about associating the AR movement with the likes of Brigitte Bardot. Granted, she has done fantastic work for animals during her life, but no true AR activist would want to be associated with her due to her fascist leanings and ties to the French national front.... ONE STRUGGLE, ONE FIGHT, HUMAN FREEDOM, ANIMAL RIGHTS!
I don't blame Pam one jot for leaving Canada. At least they don't hunt seals in the States AND they have banned imports of seal products. Mike from Canada is absolutely right - Canadians who disagree with the hunt, which are the majority, are looking to outsiders to put a stop to it because of the politics here. In the meantime our government is spending more tax dollars to put forth its propaganda to the rest of the world. The budget for doing that seems to be endless, but when it comes to other issues which affect MORE Canadians, suddenly the coffers run dry.
As a Canadian, I can't wait until the seal hunt stops. Pam has my support for speaking up for defenseless animals
No wonder she left Canada! Let me tell everyone out there that most Canadians oppose the seal slaughter but the issue is very political and the only way the hunt will close down will be when markets for seal products close down, so don't stop pushing for a ban of seal products in your countries.
The people that take part in the hunt are uneducated fishermen who think they have a god-given right to live off the ocean and destroy everything at will. No wonder Canada was the only country who blocked a UN moratorium of bottom trawling. The government wouldn't dare offend Newfoundlanders! Let me tell you, most Canadians are ashamed of Newfoundland and Labrador. Don't travel there and don't eat their seafood!!!!!!!
Well if it is recommended NOT to go there by anti sealersand other nature nazis.I'mm going there as soon as possible to see it for myself and get their side of the story
