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.

Scientific American magazine in it's "100 years ago" slot this Very month shows a picture of the first Anti Aircraft guns mounted on 1910 cars.
Embryonic 1910 armoured cars.
Just 7 years after the Wright Brothers first flight they knew the military technological horrors to come via Aircraft.
To those who are awake Worse horror technologies are to come from flying robots.

Stealth fascism.You see it from the kids toy gun market to the militarisation of video games and the Hollywood propaganda machine that promotes our good guys versus their mindless terrorists.The schools are more and more locations for product placement, including exam papers.In Israel its an equal oppertunities zone.Often its female members of the IDF that remote control the drone-on-the-phone long distance 'clean hands' hits.Sure didnt they get raised on Playstation, how can they miss.No trauma.And with nanotechnology and genetic and molecular engeneering we're well on the way to, literally, creating Hell.For an insight into the psychotic mindset try and get your hands on some of the promotional literature they circulate to the military. Friend of mine was doing his national service in the Dutch army during Gulf War I and used to smuggle out the glossy brochures for our entertainment.Nick Turse's 'The Complex'(Faber, 2008) gives a succinct update, though its an accellerating target to keep up with.
Lest we forget.
BAebi-Face-Toni Bliar squashed the Westminster and serious crime squade investigation into BAe's Billion(sic, thats a 'B' for billion) pound bribe to the Saudi defence prince, yep, them royalties haven't gone away, y'know, for a supply side short-cut for a few fresh squadrons.i believe it was the FT broke the story.
"The guy presently pushing the button to unleash the U.S. hellfire missiles on to their usnsuspecting vicitms on the Afghannistan/Pakistan border is a half a world a way in an air conditioned office/vault/bunker in Florida or Nevada."
Or Tucson! We have drone pilots with kills here, too, in Nat'l Guard unit at Davis Monthan AFB.

Any hum on your phone can be classed as a drone.But it is the variety homing in from Mossad types I believe we are referring to here.Remote controlled aerial vehicles that can be equipped with cameras or high tech weaponry for surveillance or assassination missions.
Far from 'nothing new', the labs are flat out refining and miniaturizing the next generations.Afghanistan and Gaza are just a test run.The ultimate end is full spectrum dominance, which will(and increasingly already does) include totallitarian domestic lockdown.I guess everybody needs a dream,eh?
My iPhone free app "Google Earth" can tell me the difference in latitude and longitude between the left hand side of my parked car and the right hand side of my parked car.
Check it out on your own house on Google Earth.
Military precision is even better.

A Cruise Missile can now be directed to go through a particular window in your house.
Controlled from thousands of miles away.

What with all that technology floating about maybe we could adapt one for remote controlled pizza delivery systems. Drones hover, dont they?
Hypersonic link-up and we could go global.Get the contract from halliburton for GI deliveries to battle zones.
Fresh flowers even.
The kissograms might be a challenge, but think of the high-tech, high-end, cutting edge, up-to-the-benchmark, state-of-the-art, smart economy research-funding, spin offs.
Sure to be a grant in it.
