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

news report
 Tuesday April 20, 2004 12:57 by Niav http://www.aubonnebridge.net/
On the1st of June 2003, an action took place on the Aubonne bridge in Lausanne
Switzerland to block the delegates on their way to the G8.
An eye witness account from Irish activists involved in the action:
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=51053
With May Day fast approaching, its a chilling reminder of the lengths the police are
willing to go to prevent peaceful protests. The two activists who were blocking the traffic of the Aubonne- motorway bridge during the protests against the G8 summit in
Evian last year are on Tour in Switzerland. The are facing a trial at the 28th of June, whereas the responsible policemen are still
covered in impunity. Check Tourdates at the end of the article.
Press Release
Swiss Authorities Try to Jail the Activists they Nearly Killed
After nearly being killed by the Swiss police, 2 anti-G8 activists now
face a possible six months in jail.
Martin Shaw (UK, 39) and Gesine Wenzel (Germany, 25) were yesterday
summoned to appear in court on June 28th in Nyon (CH).
Prosecution of the anti-G8 activists proceeds swiftly while complaint
against police crawls at a snail’s pace.
Eight months after an incident in Switzerland in which police incompetence
nearly cost them their lives, two anti-G8 activists are now being
prosecuted by the Swiss Authorities on charges of blocking traffic
circulation endangering other peoples' lives.
On the 1st of June 2003, they blockaded a road leading to Evian by
suspending themselves from two ends of a rope over a bridge, attempting to
prevent delegates from being able to attend the G8 summit. A police
officer cut the rope and sent Martin plummeting 25 metres into a shallow,
rocky stream beneath the bridge, while Gesine was saved by the quick
reflexes of the support team who managed to grab hold of the rope.
As a result of his fall, Martin suffered extensive injuries to his spine,
pelvis, and feet. It is still unclear as to whether he will ever regain
full mobility. Gesine has been receiving therapy for Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder. Both of them have been unable to resume their normal lives since
the incident. After all they have suffered, they have been summoned to
court on charges which could result in considerable fines and up to six
months in jail.
“This highlights the extreme lengths that the authorities will go to in
order to deter people from exercising their democratic right to protest,”
said Martin. “Its outrageous that there are charges involving us having
endangered the lives of others, while the police officers that very nearly
killed us are going about their jobs as if nothing happened.”
“We see this as one episode in a rising tide of repression against people
daring to challenge undemocratic and unaccountable instituitions like the
G8,” said Gesine. “Its really important that people respond to this
repression with renewed energy rather than allowing such scare tactics to
intimidate people into silence.”
Gesine and Martin have filed a complaint against the police for
endangering their lives, not assisting them in distress, and for
inflicting severe bodily harm on Martin.
While the criminal proceedings against Martin and Gesine have been swiftly
processed by the Swiss judicial system, the complaint against the police
has been hindered by all manner of bureaucratic obstacles, and the outcome
of what would seem to be a clear cut case of police culpability remains
unclear.
Gesine and Martin are currently on tour to inform about their case and to highlight the dramatical curtailing of civil
liberties across Europe which effectively criminalise the right to protest. The tour starts on the 18th of April in Milano and will
continue passing several cities in Switzerland Germany during the next two weeks.
The Tour- dates are:
18.4. Milano (Italia)
20.4. Genve, 20 pm, „Hotel des Association“
21.4. Lausanne, 20 pm, Cinéma Oblo, av. de France 9
