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.

In the unlikely event of US troops being pulled out of Iraq any time soon, I look forward to seeing postings here along the lines that the US arrived in Iraq, screwed everything up and then left when they couldn't handle the consequences.
Irrespective of one's opinion of whether they should have gone in there in the first place, the fact remains that an immediate withdrawal would be a disaster. The US have a moral responsibility to fix what they broke, not to cut and run.
How are anarchists campaigning in the States at the moment. There is obviously a huge desire in the anti war movement to get Bush out and vote against him. How are Anarchists getting the ear of these people?
anarchisty perspective [anti] on the video:
http://beyondthemainstream.blogspot.com/2004/10/eminem-joins-abb-mosh-pit.html
So it is interesting that he reads Bush as merely attempting to please a somewhat distant and perhaps often absent father. And he critiques Bush's attempt to impress the old man insofar as W. used other young men's lives up in the process, instead of strapping on an AK-47 himself. Eminem knows about packing heat, and was accused of pistol-whipping a rival from the rap group Insane Clown Posse. (Actually, this would be a good epithet for Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney and Bush).
No. But things good be much worse than today if US army decides to leave Iraq NOW. It would be battleground for rivalry islamic and ethnic groups just like Afghanistan in the 90's.
10-20% of population in that country died and the cruelty cannot even be described. Decicion to go war was a mistake, but once you have started it, you cannot just quit whenever you want and leave these poor Iraqis there.
USA have the obligation to secure Iraq before they leave. This means building Iraqi army and police forces that can take responsibility over the country when US soldiers leave. This is not done yet. Taking the troops out before this is done would be crime against Iraqi people.
"He does not have any choice but to do so. He cannot let Iraq be another Afghanistan, civil war etc. This is the benefit of iraqi people too".
-what the hell do you call whats goin on at the moment-- a nice peaceful co existence???
"he will oppose gay marriage"
Not true, he will let every state to decide this
"he will not sign Kyoto"
Clinton would have signed, why not Kerry?
"he will continue the occupation of Iraq"
He does not have any choice but to do so. He cannot let Iraq be another Afghanistan, civil war etc. This is the benefit of iraqi people too.
"and increase troop numbers"
Depends on how the situation in Iraq continues. If there will be peace the he will propably get all soldiers out of there ASAP
"What the American working class and oppressed ethnic minorities need is a party that is independent of big business and will fight for workers rights"
Communist party you mean? Propaganda and oppression. No thanks, says workers around America.
nader, i think you must have misunderstood, kerry is a county in eire,.
why would anyone in right minded want to vote for a Irish county for their president?
now thats a bit mad !
and how can a place be against gay mariages ?
have a look at the site before you judge us.
we are asking the american people not to vote for Bush, who they do vote for is up to themselves,
le meas,
Seán
Kerry is no alternative for the American people. If he is elected he will implement the same anti worker agenda, he will oppose gay marriage, he will not sign Kyoto, he will continue the occupation of Iraq and increase troop numbers..... What the American working class and oppressed ethnic minorities need is a party that is independent of big business and will fight for workers rights, against corporate American, for the envoronment and against the occupation of Iraq. Such a party will not be brought any closer by voting for Kerry.
Imagine it pouring, it's raining down on us,
Mosh pits outside the oval office
Someone's trying to tell us something, maybe this is God just saying
we're responsible for this monster, this coward, that we have empowered
This is Bin Laden, look at his head nodding,
How could we allow something like this, Without pumping our fist
Now this is our, final hour
Let me be the voice, and your strength, and your choice
Let me simplify the rhyme, just to amplify the noise
Try to amplify the times it, and multiply it by six
Teen million people are equal of this high pitch
Maybe we can reach Al Quaida through my speech
Let the President answer on high anarchy
Strap him with AK-47, let him go
Fight his own war, let him impress daddy that way
No more blood for oil, we got our own battles to fight on our soil
No more psychological warfare to trick us to think that we ain't loyal
If we don't serve our own country we're patronizing a hero
Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die
If I get sniped tonight you'll know why, because I told you to fight.
And as we proceed, to mosh through this desert storm, in these closing statements, if they should argue, let us beg to differ, as we set aside our differences, and assemble our own army, to disarm this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president, for the present, and mosh for the future of our next generation, to speak and be heard, Mr. President, Mr. Senator
