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 5NPD is nothing comparing to what you can find in England and East Europe. Besides in Germany there are strong anti-racist organizations and anarcho-communist movements. \
I have a friend from Saxony (Germany). Every time the nazis gather for protest in a small town, the rest of the people ring the bells of the local church in order to annoy them. Go do that in England and you will end up beaten up.
The last commentator quite properly invites us to compare & contrast the German NPD with other neoNazi and far-right political groups & I presume with particular attention to social organisation and promotional strategies.
As we all know the BNP saw Andrew Bron elected as MEP for the UK Yorkshire and Humber region constituency with 9.8% of the vote. & as we all know the BNP sit with the NPD and are completely affiliated. I worked for the Church of England during a period of four years in the 1990's and remember how church bells throughout England went mostly un-heeded and could probably be rated at the very bottom of a list of community awareness behind the sound of unwelcome police sirens and even the ever tantalising ice cream van. Nobody would care if the bells were ringing in the local churches.
The 2001 Bradford race riots which occured just after the race riots in Burnley and Oldham (all 3 cities in the current BNP EU constituency) were as we know orchestrated by what was understood as the NF and a variety of skinhead groups. We of course also know that these were and are the people who canvassed for the BNP. Indeed I'd remind readers that a complete list of their IP's can be perused with particular interest to the Irish connections at this link :-
"Analysis of Irish involvement in neo Nazi "B&H" site" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88985
Those riots were, I maintain & warn, the final articulation of what the fascists, neo-nazi's and third positionists saw as counter-productive to their longer term political and social goals.
They are, loathe as I am to admit, not stupid through their ranks and to their cores nor are they to be understood now through only localised national interpretative filters. What works now in Germany may work elsewhere soon - what worked in the UK in 2001 undoubtedly is being tried elsewhere now.
I'd finish for the moment by saying :-
:=: what is most to be feared is not the violent fash or neo-nazi (bearing in mind the recent publication of the Spanish state report on near impunity for race attacks, desecrations and neo-Nazi activity roganised from Valencia for the whole Iberian peninsula c/f http://www.movimientocontralaintolerancia.com/download/...9.zip http://www.accio-popular.org/
:=: nor what is most to be feared is the glib publicity exercises of the European far-right seeking legitimacy.
but rather -
:+: the idea that they could get social centres together and build an underground conscienceness based on supposedly self-assertive or autonomous or proactive values which are anti-system and traditionally anti-capitalist.
Coz if we let them into that space - we've given them the 21st century's Hitler youth.
Surely none of you think every hitler youth member was a skinhead?
Little Fassberg is exerting magnetic fields of attracting and repulsion these last ten days. NeoNazi's are happily planning their paint jobs and gigs and educational sessions suitable for a wide range of hitler youth type such as those who may make future pontiffs and the others who are just in it for the uncommonly cute skingirls, no smoking & chance not to be thought gay.
oh yes.
But where there are nazis and fascists not long does it take for their opponents (us I believe) to show up and yell slogans and scrawl graffiti.
Accordingly as the German law court dealing with an eviciton request went through the complex legal reasons for why the nazi's are in the hotel as "squatters", numerous protests were announced a bit of stir was noted which it is reported in mainstream German commercial press has extended to shots being fired (at whom i'm not sure nor by whom) and 24/7 police surveillance. Of course they would be new eastern German police lot who after the Pretzien summer solstice book burning of Anne Frank's diary got night classes on dealing with nazi's and getting a better idea if indeed they share a patrol car with one.
an opinion piece from last week in German on Germany Indymedia http://de.indymedia.org/2009/07/257004.shtml
a report from Speigel in English
http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,6387....html
Most germans were caught up in beinng called the "Master Race,"
Very few Scientfically well educated scientific Germans believed it.
A lot did.
When and Hamburg Berlin and and Dusseldorff were reduced to rubble..we learned our lesson
By the logic of the Nazis...the Chinese are the master race..
(The Chinese have the biggest heads and the World's highest IQs )
English Nazi Slogans Are Legal, German Court Rules
Using Nazi symbols and slogans is a punishable crime in Germany. But now neo-Nazis may have more leeway after a federal German court ruled that slogans are not illegal if they are translated into another language.
Is a Nazi slogan still a Nazi slogan if it is uttered in English instead of German?
Not necessarily -- at least according to Germany's Federal Court of Justice. In a landmark decision Thursday, the Karlsruhe-based court ruled that using Nazi slogans translated into a language other than German would not, in general, be a punishable crime. The ruling is linked to a case in which a neo-Nazi was prosecuted and fined €4,200 ($6,000) in 2005 for distributing clothing and merchandising bearing the slogan "Blood and Honour," written in English. With the ruling, the court overturned the verdict against the neo-Nazi, who was not named, but said it could still be possible to prosecute him under other laws relating to right-wing extremism.

The group "Blood and Honour" was founded in Texas in the 1980's spellt (spelled) without a "U" as "honor". It was declared muribund by the "top ten neo-nazi" Tom Metzger in the last decade but the recipe of violence & skinhead aesthetic undoubtedly caught the imagination and loyalty of many neo-Nazi's in Europe where it has been criminalised in Germany, Austria and most recently the Spanish state as a criminal organisation unquestionably involved in conspiracy to murder and acts of murder.
