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.

So we don't get palme d'or.
& none of us have supported the inclusion of christianity in the EU constitution (well I did) so no ancient knighthoods for us.
Nope. We just provided the source material.
we the great unwashed.
Bertie joins the order:-
http://www.knightofmalta1.org/constantinian.html
it hasn't been around since the crusades, that's like the other lot (masons) saying they have a direct link to Thoth and AMun Ra Kor-praat.
(Trust me, I'm an expert on these things.)
But Bertie gets the gong, (really really) for being nice to the Spanish Crown.
The poor of Spain get 30€ more on the minimum wage, the republicans got a picnic, and the barcelona newswire filled with republican gong space all weekend.
Go there and you can read the Andalucian Republican independence party's solution for Ireland and Palestine!
Weird you may say, but better and more sensitive than Michael Moore I would say.
Meanwhile, Mr Moore is now worth an awful lot of money. And I spent last night going through the book again. with a fine comb.
And I reckon he's not really so cool.
You want rid of Vader-
put in Nadar.
none of us can. I'll tell you a secret not that you'll believe me, I was one of the people in "psi-land", who was asked to predict the Gore/Bush Election. And I did. All of us (those I knew) said Gore. None of us were happy about it. The stealing of the election caused me to go to BCN and get off Airstrip 1. In that year hundreds of people left the USA and went to the EU mainland. They were "normal working class activists, pamphleteers and so on". Not a single one thought they would be able to survive blacklistling and removal of social security info in the USA.
That happened.
Moore survived, because he was rich, and now is the flagship, yet not one mention of the thousands of people who have lost their lives and numbers either in the USA or those who now live in blacklisted non-existence in Europe. Mostly in spain.
No gongs.
no film awards.
just getting on with life.
& I doubt anyone will believe me in Ireland, coz you don'tseem to get !airstrip1! and what _really_ happened in those crucial 3 months.
play the election game at:-
http://www.hotpotsoftware.com/p2000/p2000.htm
"President Forever is the most in-depth, intense presidential election game ever made. Using realistic electorate modeling techniques, an unprecedented number of options, the ability to plan complex strategies, detailed candidates, and sporting a futuristic interface, this is 2004 big time!
Good campaigning, President-to-Be!"
Mr Moore we would forgive you if you used your wealth to feed the ex-American Citizens in Exile.
Or even mentioned their existence.
But hey that's not profitable.
"man we all have to be so so careful....."

Some day, I will tell another story.
with as many jokes.
but more names.
more agony.
Their names will be writ out.
YES IT WAS A COUP.
YES it changed irrevocably the civil and political rights of American and then British and Irish citizens. YES people, work, research, dissent, computer files, hard discs were erased, airbrushed. systematically from the record.
YES! you live on Airstrip 1.
No! no-one believes it.
Maybe some day, Mr Moore will make a movie about it.
Meanwhile, they have all been initiated adn the protection of AmunRaHoorPakRut, and Neit resplendent extended to them.
Their souls will know the halls of judgement as initiated sons and daughters of Osiris and Isis whence they will be weighed in the truth.
('twas the least I could do)
"Mr Ahern also received his award for "his efforts to ensure that the new
European Constitution includes references to the continent's Christian foundation
and heritage".
They should have included references to the historic role of the Church in supporting fascism too.
"The awards were conferred by the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of
St George, which is the oldest Catholic Order of Knighthood in the world.
It describes its aim as "the defence and promotion of the Roman Catholic
religion."
Isn't Berticán legally separated? Is that not a big 'no no' in the Church these days? Oh how we let our standards drop.
"In the past this involved taking part in the Crusades."
Well, it seems it still is. (see Airport, Shannon)
Dear Iosaf, I am truly interested in what you are saying, but am having difficulty grasping the story. Could you possibly run through it again in a more clear manner. Thanks
I'm very poor at the moment, the teaching season is over, and I have as usual overspent. This means I have to spend more than the usual lenghth of time pursueing "free resources", libraries, internet access, soup kitchens.
Thus for the last week, being the type I am, I have found refuge in the Masonic Reading Room of Barcelona, which is full of the .:.L.:.F.:.E stuff. It's a francomasonic lodge.
They love that sort of stuff, and anyway I now have a leather armchair to read the papers in.
The King of Spain is "Roman Catholic number 1". and presides that order to which Bertie has just been awarded membership.
during the Catalan tripartite first 100 days of office which saw the Republican meet ETA at the same time thousands of ravers were coming to what I thought of as my birthday party in the Pyrennes, I was living in C/Templers 14.
14 is the Masonic (scot and york) grade of the order of Templers.
It's all mumbo jumbo mostly except for those who understand how it works. Very few people understand how it works. Anyway.
Bertie has a Gong, he doesn't have any extra special magickal powers. Unlike me who understands perfectly how these things work.
But like I can't tell you online.
I could offer you a subscription course...
sorry to the editors for yesterday when I heaped abuse at:-
Bertie, Blair, Ivana, Moore, Adams and of course Bush.
and there is more to come. Coup Coup ca jou.
If you cannot be a lighthouse, at least be a candle.
and as they say in the land of the free and the brave:
Al ketheb bem'hallu ebada.

See you in the Brave New World.
Oh, my unspeakable wife, Queen Lisa

thats it, im going home smiling today.
but no-one is going to say that, as long as Garzón is still about. since I arrived in homage to Catalúnya, seven catalans have been imprisoned for slagging of the King.
You don't do it. It's illegal.
we've been demanding "cake" (postres) for the wedding, and today in La Vanguardia the cartoon showed the aftermath of the wedding, "cake for everyone gig" and it was a bunch of ants munching on the cake crumbs.
Very pointed. Very dròle.
To see what I mean go to

and check the illustration, one of CSOA les Naus' favourites. (i uploaded it here once)
"creepy crawly six legs good antenna brilliant hive links wow & the smell thing?! "
when that type of thing happens in the Irish press we will be laughing succesful and almost there, it will be the "golden age" of post little rascals. Oh yes. I and Risible, and EC and Daithi and Andrew and everyone else will be on crutches and gummy. But it will be worth it. And no-one will be kissing us with eyes open.

come on Iosaf, you are not poor - you just dont have any money right now
and dont blame Michael Moore for that. he is not the best, but hardly the worst? and resenting the good for not being 'gooder' is dull. 'Fianna-Fail-love'; a man is a great fella (fíor gael) when he is reduced to eating grass, but put two spuds on his plate and he is a complete shit, deserving of the lynch mob
unbecoming of you
