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.

"Israeli sources have claimed that a regular military patrol had come under attack. But the question arises: what was it doing in Gaza?"
It wasn't in Gaza (the patrol that was attacked at the beginning of this). Will make a whole lot more sense if you start at the beginning and not in the middle.
Mikey, even the Israeli source describes the Israeli casualties as 'advancing', so it should be pretty obvious, even to the most biased Pro-zionist (i.e: you) , that they were advancing INTO Gaza. -- From YNET (an Israeli source) http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3868618,00.html
Maybe if you took off the Zio-blinkers for even a moment, you might be able to see clearly, if even for that one brief moment
What is it about you Zionists that causes you to misrepresent or outright lie, at every opportunity? Is it genetic? Or is there a school they send you guys to, to learn by rote, how to lie all the time?
it would appear that on this occasion at least zionist troops werent using gaza civilians as human shields . A different story when they dont have innocent civilians as living sandbags .
Palestinian DNA goes back thousands of years in Palestine.
You only have to look at Palestinians to see that they are more local than the new locals.
Benjamin Nethenyahoo looks like a Russian and acts like a Nazi.

Nobody was denying that the Israeli soldiers were inside Gaza at the time they were killed. I think the distortion claims are about treating the entry of the Israeli soldiers into Gaza as the START of this incident. As if there was a routine Israeli patrol INSIDE Gaza and it got attacked.
Even the Palestinian sources aren't claiming that (Didn't you SEE the picture of the guys proudly displaying their anti-armor rockets?)
You mistake the nature of this successful ambush. It began with four resistance fighters pretending to place explosives at the fence near the crossing point and others firing anti-armor rockets at the (routine) patrol on the Israeli side. Having picked a position for the covering rocket firing among civilians they could figure the Israelis would not simply respond with artillery*. In other words, the attack was a feint expecting the Israelis to come in after them as infantry to reduce civilian casualties and they could then spring their ambush.
BTW -- never try that sort of ambush against Americans. We'd just have our artillery "stonk" the position firing at us and not give a damn about how many collateral casualties among the nearby civilians.
* Yes, the "rules" for artillery consider the responsibility for civilian collateral deaths lie with those who sited a firing position among them but then it gets tricky as will depend on the accuracy of the return fire (close enough to the intended target to be considered legitimate return fire?) and besides SOME of us out here consider a position containing civilians immune regardless of how much firing is coming from it.
