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.

Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist Sat Sep 20, 2025 09:00 | Hannes Sarv
It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

All this slaughtering in the name of a 'God'. If its not the Muslims and the Jews its the Christians. And if its not them its the Hindus and Sikhs.
The biggest problem though at present has to be the American-style born-again Christianity which seems to have little to do with kindness and turning the other cheek, and more to do with destroying anyone who gets in their way, ie kicking the other guy's ass rather than trying to understand their point of view and seeking cooperation with them.
Surely it is time to dispense with religion altogether.
No one is being "Slaughtered in the name of God" except the Millions of Vicytims worldwide of Islam..
any ever here of "Sudan"???
You know .. where 2 Million Black Christians and animists were killed by the NIF Government even BEFORE the recent evebts in Darfur.
Only the Islamists? Maybe it is time to take a look at the bible, that should show us a little about people being "Slaughtered in the name of God".
And coming forward in history perhaps we should consider the Crusades during the Middle Ages.
And as for Israel, it is the very definition of a sectarian state.
And speaking about religious sectarianism, maybe we could even come closer to home. Although he has managed to avoid accepting any of the blame, our old friend (or should that be 'fiend'?) Ian Paisley surely has a lot to answer for.
I'm sure too that many of the American soldiers in Iraq believe they are fighting a religious war.
I still think we would be better off without any religion.
Doncha just love raw data? Depending on your perseptions, it could show you just about anything.
The first showed proportionaly, 1.666 Muslims per Christian. The next showed 1.306 Muslims to each Christian. The next 1.39 Muslims per Christian. The 1905 data shows an odd anomoly in proportions of Muslims to Christians. But the numbers returned to a more familiar 1.14 Muslims per Christian. By 1990, there were 8.9 Muslims per Christian, and the last one showed it as 10 Muslims to 1 Christian.
The only real big changes were that of the Zionists swelling the local's proportional growth, while the Muslim numbers grew according to the expected high birth rates of Palestinians that shows up on other raw data. After 1948, Christian numbers dropped like Armenians under the Turks.
What else could the raw data have to show you??? That Palestinian Jews made up almost 1/2 the people in Jerusalem since the mid-1800s to the ZIonist invasion? Yes, people with similar identities congregate with others like them. Over time, many Palestinian Jews congregated in the Roman city with the Hebrew name, Jerusalem.
The breakdown in ther previous post.. Ignores JEWS, the largest constituent OF the population!!!
The Jews had their biggest Increase from 1844-1876 and 1876-1905.
The moslems had their big Swell AFTER 1905.. and in had their biggest increases in the Areas the Jews had come to..
FOLLOWING in the Zionist for the economic opportunity they created.. as they STILL flock to Israel daily for Jobs.
Largest constitution of the population, yes, of 1 Palestinian city. And I did point out how like people congregate together. They seem to have chosen to congregate in Jerusalem.
And Muslim numbers, compared to the numbers of Christians DIDN"T swell, but remained relativly constant until Christians left.
I didn't ignore the Jews, they were just not a part of the point that I DID make, that the numbers of Muslims to Christians remained relativly constant. While it was ZIonist invadors that swelled the numbers of Jews, which also remained relativly constant, until ZIonist invadors started arriving in 1882 and in much larger numbers under the Brittish guns, like Hungarians "arrived" in Slovakia under Nazis guns.
When Churchill went to brittish occupied Palestine to see if the Zionist experiment/invasion was worth continued support, like Nazis supported Hungarian occupation of Slovakia, the ZIonists where Churchill was to visit borrowed horsed and money to through him big parties to give the impression that ZIonists were not just barly hanging on.
Palestinians still flock to jobs created by Zionist crusaders. Ha, Poles still flocked to SHCINDLER'S factory too. Did poles seeking jobs from Nazi invadors mean that Nazi invadors were not murderous thieves??? And after the Zionists stole all the argicultural lands, hotels, etc. where else can Palestinian victims of Zionist offenses find work??? Poland?

an example of some of the outright, albeit sophisticated pro-Zionist propaganda on that website is its description of the status of the Gaza Strip.
'The current status of the Gaza Strip (also called just Gaza) is governed by the agreements of the Oslo peace process, in particular the Cairo Agreement on Gaza and Jericho of May 1994. Under the agreements, Israel has transfered most powers and responsibilities to the Palestinian Authority, which includes the Palestinian Legislative Council elected in January 1996, as part of the interim self-governing arrangements in the Gaza Strip. Israel continues to provide security for the external borders and for Jewish settlements.
Apart from the cover, Palestinians are referred to as Arabs throughout, and the legitemacy of their entire history is denied.
Yep. ZIonists say "those Arabs have other Arab lands to move to." If ZIonists had chosen COsta Ricans as thier victims, they could say, "Those Spanish speeking Catholics have other spanish speeking Catholic lands to move to." It is just marginalizing and scapegoating of thier victims.
Good post
are just Arabs. Hello? Show me the ancient Palestinian civilisation they came from. They didn't even call themselves Palestinians much before 1967.
People often ignore some salient facts:
1) The term Palestinian used to mean Palestinian Jew.
2) Jews have been present in the area for thousands of years in an unbroken line.
3) Jerusalem has always been a predominantly Jewish city.
4) Arabs migrated into the area in huge numbers in the 20th century. They followed the Jews, as the Jews created jobs for them.
5) Arabs created a Jewish refugee problem: no one talks about the large number of Jews, at least as large as Arabs, who were expelled or fled persecution in Arab countries. The only place they could go was Israel. Only we don't moan about it: we just got on with absorbing them.
6) The Arabs are the imperialist chauvinists here - not the Jews
This propoganda is reminiscent of Pik Botha when he claimed there were no "black" south africans, they were all immigrants who moved to R.S.F to work in the economy created by the whites.
white South Africans and Israeli zionists, two of a kind! They even had a common military technology development agreement.
Refuting argument B does not refute argument A; nor does insulting the arguer.
In this case, the British fixed the Jews, in the same way that they screwed the Irish - by divide and rule. Actually, during the 1930s and 40s, they severely braked Jewish immigration (preventing millions of us from escaping the gas chambers) while turning a blind eye to massive Arab immigration.
The original mandate for the Jews also included all of modern Jordan and the occupied territories. What the Jews have now is less than a tenth of what they were promised. Even that, the Arabs and the anti-semites want to take away from us. They won't be happy until we are slaughtered in droves again and/or hounded from pillar to post around the world. Then, we will be in our rightful place again, no doubt.
