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.

When it Comes to Reparations, the Church of England Doesn?t Care About Evidence or Ethics Mon Sep 22, 2025 11:00 | Nigel Biggar
The Church of England has shown that it doesn't care about evidence or ethics, says Prof Nigel Biggar. Why else, when presented with proof its ?100 million reparations giveaway is groundless, would it press on regardless?

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8I thought you meant the real Irish holocost of 1845 when the filthy mudering brits allowed 1.5million I rish people to starve to death, also more sweetly known as the "famine" a cosy word for deliberate genocide. Strange that the Irish wont comemorate this though.
It is disgusting that one of the groups most persecuted during World War Two, the Orthodox Christians who lived under the Utasha. At least 200,000 and anything up to 1,000,000 people, in the most case Serbian Orthodox Christians and also Muslims from Bosnia, were murdered in what should be considered part of the holocaust. to ignore the memory of these people, especially when representatives of the other 'communities' who did not suffer to any great or deliberate extent in World War Two are included.
This is part of a peculiar form of revisionism which continually seeks to understimate or often times ignore the suffferings of the Serbs under the German installed Croatian NDh government during World War Two. If more people had a knowledge of the Serb sufferings in WWII they could have sevre doubts about the wisdom of the EU giving recognotion to an independent Croatia heavily backed by Germany

Will ye also be commemorating all the Palestinians slaughtered and driven from their homeland because they didn't fit the Zionist ideal ?
Or will ye just play it safe and tow the politically correct line dictated to ye by the "holocaust industry" ?
When we remember the Holocaust we remember all the millions of innocents that died at the hands of the Nazi.
But In remembering the Holocaust we do not forget any group any nationality any religion, it is a focus for all of us to remember what is close to us what is important to us and to say we must not let this happen any where to anyone ever again.
'deliberate genocide' / 'filthy murdering brits' ?? think the green flag is wrapped a bit too tightly around you. remember Omagh, Birmingham, Warrington, Gilford...
the incidents you mention were terrible. but they pale in comparison to 800 years of oppression. yes, the famine was deliberate genoicide. food was exported while people starved. the brits applied the same policies throughout the empire, particularly in india where tens of millions died of famine in the 19th century while food was exported and moved around the sub-continent for the gain of speculators.
Genocide is going on today in Palestine, especially in Gaza where around 30-40% of children are suffering malnutrition. Israel exports food to Europe, and blocks the Palestinians from harvesting and carrying the food they produce themselves to their own towns, cities and markets. Fish rot in the sun at checkpoints, vegetables turn to mush, cargo terminals are endlessly shut down for "security concerns." All this while valuable agricultural lands and ancient orchards are bulldozed throughout Palestine for a network of massive ugly walls and fences that is turning the once-Fertile Crescent into a desert, and bringing state-induced famine to a people who only want their own land and the right to live on it and work it.
The current Israeli government shamelessly absorbs the cruelest tactics of the Nazis, Stalinists, Brits, Romans and any other imperialist role-model for their brutal repression of the Palestinian people. A few hundreds (mainly occupation forces) lost to a few desperate suicide-bombers is no excuse for wiping out an entire population of innocents. Justice must come first, then peace, and only then will security be within reach.
