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 6It is reported today, that Turkey has frozen a five billion dollar contract for 1000 Israeli-made tanks, giving a body blow to Israel’s burgeoning arms and munitions industry that is so vital to the state’s economy.
This means that each one of the victims of the Israeli naval commandos, who were killed on the Turkish aid ship trying to break the siege of Gaza, two weeks ago, has cost Israel a minimum of one half a billion dollars, that is US$500,000,000 for every life taken.
This is a lesson of which Europe and the world can well take heed. The only way to ensure that this Israeli government observes human and civil rights, in its own and in other countries, is by economic means. The simplest way to do that would be to follow Turkey’s example and to put an EU embargo on all bilateral arms trade. No military exports to, and no imports from, Israel by any EU state including the UK, Germany, France, Poland and all other members.
Without its trade in arms, the current right-wing, Israeli coalition government would soon capitulate and the international community would see an end to state-sponsored killings, and an adherence to Human Rights law, international agreements and democratic practice.
Then, and only then, could the world and the Middle East hope for a just settlement for the indigenous people of what was previously Palestine, and peace in the region after over sixty years.

worlds media is reporting that the blockade of Gaza has ended. All goods except weapons will be alllowed in
The 'worlds media' tell us a lot of things that require salt. An improvement in food supplies and medicines entering the concentration camp does not mean the repression is abating. Tel Aviv is just realising they overstepped the tolerable and have to regroup, make cosmetic amends, look contrite so they dont further embarrass Obama and then put the bulldozer back in low drive. They may have backed up two yards and be idling the engines, but the program is:- Clear 'our' land of alien interlopers who squatted in our brief 2 thousands years awandering. A.k.a. ethnic cleansing in a manner that does not raise too much outrage from the sensitivities of US and Euro supporters.
worlds media is reporting that the blockade of Gaza has ended. All goods except weapons will be alllowed in
The above statement is utter nonsense - no such commitment has been made by the Israelis.
'Easing' the blockade? - was all lies, as usual
http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-an...96809
DO try and remember that the Israelis often SAY they are doing something when in fact they then go and do the exact opposite - so announcing the 'easing of restrictions' is what they SAY they will do - but in reality I doubt they will take any meaningful action in that regard - such as announcing 'Settlement freeze' (i.e.: stop stealing more land and building colonies upon it) and then they just continue building as if they had never said any such thing
For example they said a while back that they were going to remove some of the many many road-blocks they use to make life even more miserable for Palestinians - instead what they actually did was increase the the number of roadblocks - they lie all the time - never trust a Zionist
As expected, the announcement that Israel would 'ease' the blockade turns out to have been just one more lie in a looooooong list of Israeli lies- The Prime Minister's Office announced on Thursday that the security cabinet had agreed to relax Israel's blockade on the Gaza Strip, but as it turns out, no binding decision was ever made during the cabinet meeting.
And the announcement was only made IN THE ENGLISH version of the press release regarding the meeting.
Therefore you'd have to be an idiot to believe them
Maybe I should have some faith in their 'good intentions', but I doubt they have any 'good intentions' the announcement is merely just to appease others - they have NO intention of doing anything meaningful ,
And personally I've long lost any faith in Zionist/Israeli public promises - it's like a tap - they can switch it on and off at will -as soon as the eyes of the world get turned elsewhere they will find a reason to roll-back any changes they make now - pure PR - never EVER trust a Zionist -
Though no doubt he will deny it.Boycott and blockade the besiegers.Rumour has it even Obama is going to give Netanyahu the news that his banditry is non-kosher when they meet up in early July. Expect plenty of cosmetic shapes
.But ease up on the overkill anti.If 'you would have to be an idiot to believe them', please grant us the benefit a little post-idiotic judgement.
back at indymedia DC, over in the global right hand column, Israel seems to be gathering its next phase for Iran.Maybe someone a bit moe net-savvy than me can get a link into our side.
