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 3Goodbody- are they the same crowd who reckoned that there were not enough taxis on the roads in Dublin when they were asked for a report? And in another report they found that Corrib gas would benefit the economy of Ireland? Seems that they can do all sorts of tricks for their masters.
No- it must be a different crowd with the same name.
The Catholic Worker movement in Liverpool took a Non Violent Disarmament action against BAe in the UK. One of their Tornado Frontline Fighters were rendered immobile. The buyer was Suharto in East Timor who used the remaining 11 fighters to kill thousands of his citizens as Mobile Oil Coorporation loaned him excavating equiptment to bury the dead, but not after he ordered everyone not to bury any dead for three days as an example to the remaining victims, so the bodies remained laying in the streets as dogs ravaged them.
The NVDA activists were acquitted by a liverpool jury.....
The Irish Government benefits to the tune of €5,000,000,000 (5 bil) every year in weapons manufacturing, it will not be surprising to see inaction on the part of the powers that be in Eire to do nothing.
The same hammers used to damage the US Military warplane in Shannon to prevent genocide in Iraq were the same ones used in BAe Systems to prevent Genocide in East Timor.....
They were on display in the project Arts Centre in Dublin three months ago.....mabey one day we'll see them as a permanent display in our own National History Museum beside Dail Eireann as a reminder of the atrcities that the Irish Government willingly took part in by assisting genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan...and now Pakistan....
Joe Duffy done a show about the hammers on display in the Project Theatret , trying to ridicule the display, and showed his very right wing support for war and genocide as a Government supporter for the crimes they commit.
The NVDA activists in Dublin were also acquitted but Kenny, Duffy, Turbidy, Ryan, Finnucane, Hook, and the rest of Irelands Finest in unbiased journahilism continnued to call them criminals.....
Mabe a piket outside the lawfirm could get underway.....
Fraud, warcrimes, genocide, destruction of a soverign nation, cluster bombing, Napalming, radioactive poisoning......to name a few...
My relationship with BAe is a long one and seems it's going to be lifelong as in '96 they slapped a high court (London) court injunction on me within 6 weeks of my initial '96 arrival in England. 12 other activists were also targeted for injunction by spies that had infiltrated "Campaign Against the Arms Trade" and the scene around the ploughshares trial in Liverpool in '96.
The offer was to accept the injunction (limiting ones free speech with max sentences of 2 years) being lifelong and be free of court costs incurred (and inflated by acocuntants) by BAe. Four of us targeted refused and had a few hours unsuccessfully defending ourselves in Judges Chambers at the high court in London at the end of '96....we were left with 100 grand legal bills each.
After Special Branch's failure to infiltrate the Liverpool Catholic Worker at its outset (offering a former policewoman 200 quid for every LCW meeting she attended and bonuses for info on organisers), BAe went to a private intelligence agency, that placed a spy in our extended community for 3 years...helping to bring down the LCW community.
BAe ran 6 agents in the more mainstream Campaign Against the Arms Trade. This is a very good article in the Guardian by comedian Mark Thomas as he slowly comes to accept his CAAT fulltimeorganiser is actually a BAe spy...check it out http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85347
Continued on the above MT thread is more info on Bae's infiltration of the Liverpool Catholic Worker, home to East Timorese exiles at the time.
It is instructive that the last act of Blair before standing down was to cancel a Serious Frauds Office inquiry that had been running for tow years into a billion pound slush fund set up by BAe for a Saudi prince...that's how powerful, nasty and tooled up they are.
