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.

15 yoyos is a bit much. And, as the first comment points out, we'll probably see busloads of members from affiliates like the SWP who didn't donate a single cent to CAEUC during the campaign apart from the basic affiliation fee. The affiliation system is the cheapest way to get in, I'd reckon - just form an 'organistion' with 10 others, make no further contribution, and ye'll all get into the conference for diddly squat.
Dear credit cruncher, dear amused
The €15 for waged and €5 for unwaged amounts are for the CAEUC that has very little, if any, money at the moment to be able to pay for the room and the sandwiches & tea/coffee.
The decision of the organising group was that everybody who wants to be there and discuss/debate tries to pay that amount - there is no decision that affiliate organisation members, of whatever direction, get in without paying.
If, on the other hand, somebody really wants to participate and cannot pay the €5, if they are unwaged, then we can discuss that as well.
So rather than sniping at yoyos, please make yourselves available - the CAEUC needs new people, needs activists.
See you all on Sunday - registration is at 11.00
Michael,
I'm a member of an affiliated organisation. Do I have to pay 15 euros to get in??? You can't be serious.
Dear friend,
There is no need to either complicate matters or be confused. The Teachers Club is charging the CAEUC €4 per head for tea/coffee and sandwiches and a significant amount for the rent of the room. Your membership of an affiliated organisation is neither here nor there in this respect....if you're unwaged and you pay €5 it would just about cover the cost....if you, on the other hand, you are waged or have an independent income, you are asked to contribute about €10 over and above costs to the campaign. This, unless I am totally mistaken, is less than the price of a ticket to see a movie or about the price of two pints........
Unless my original message did not get through, the CAEUC has very little money at the moment. So, yes, we're asking activists, who care, to make a small contribution.
I hope the above satisfies you and clears your 'confusion'.
I hear where you're coming from but I guarantee you that you'll be lucky to get more than a handful of punters at those prices. I hope you booked a small room.
Dear Michael
Maybe the Teachers Club is not the right place for this kind of event… activism is not about tea and sandwiches. Monetary contribution should be free!
Why not start this meeting with a showing of the video clip at the address provided below? -- and get things on the right track ...

Not a bad idea Eddie - the Village has 8 whole pages with pics from the video.
As Treasurer of CAECU, let me assure you that CAECU not only has no money, it is in debt, not by a great deal, but in debt all the same.
The amount being chared is minimal and is there to cover the cost of hiring the rom and providing some food. €15 is not a great deal of money.
Sorry I wont be around for either your meeting or the ' visit '.
Loved the video Eddie.
This one is the real thing, unfortunatley in French,

The weekend meeting seems like a good idea. Would people realise that the campaign needs to pay for the place and cop themselves on. The campaign fought brilliantly on a frayed shoestring..
Dont spend from now until Sunday and time on Sunday arguing about the cost of sandwiches. Come with your ideas and energy. By the way if you are there for 5 hours you will need Tadhg's food. Let that be the end of it. If you can pay then do and quit the messin.
Get the custard pies out ... Sarkosy is comming !... SSSSHHHhhhh ...
Thanks Crazy Cat
