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.

- today: german police threatens 16-year old girl with weapon
A policemen this morning threatened a 16-year-old girl with his pistol. She was on a tractor in a field near Tollendorf. Earlier three tractors were pursued by police vehicles. When one of the tractors tried to lift a round bale of straw with its fork, the policemen from Aachen lost their nerve. They had been tasked to cut the up the bale. One of the policemen stood in front of the tractor in which sat only 16-year-old Nadine and her friend. The policeman drew his pistol and pointed it at the driver’s cabin. The girl is still in shock. “All I could still see was the weapon and the man’s eyes.” Subsequently one of the other tractors was also threatened by a police clearing vehicle, rammed in the side an damaged.
- french activist killed; train cut off both his legs -
Rage and sorrow have been manifested across Germany at the death of a 21-year-old Frenchman run over by a nuclear waste train in France. At night were protests all over Germany. Many will follow
Nevertheless the train was stopped several times in Germany, were also people chained themselves at the railways. In Germany whole villages turned themselves into "resistance camps".
At nights were protests all over Germany. Many will follow
In Berlin about 400 demonstrated at night. The people went to the French embassy to protest. They even tried to get into the area of the french embassy but police stopped them. Another police line stopped the protesters near Potsdamer Platz, where the protesters wanted to the Deutsche Bahn tower (Germany´s train company who is responsible for the transports of nuclear waste). People shouted "smash capitalism" or "sadness and anger turns into resistance".
In Bielefeld there was a mourning gathering and spontaneous demo procerssion through the city. About 40 took part.
There were also demos in Münster (40) and Waltrop (15). “Many people were shocked by the unscrupulousness of the police in speeding the Casstor train on. Don’t police leaders have any human feelings? And Jürgen Trittin (The environment minister)?” There will be another demo in Münster on Monday, from 6 pm outside central station.
The light-hearted mood in the Wendland (the Gorleben area) is gone. The news of the activist’s death comes as a shock. In Langendorf near Dannenberg, where farmers were just blocking the road with their tractors, a spontaneous religious service of mourning is held. People place burning candles.
When police attacked the protesters they threw bottles and stones.
In Erfurt about 20 people gathered at the main station to mourn. After half an hour police chased them away, showing no sympathy.
In Hamburg about 500 people gathered to mourn the dead activist. Several hundred police massively disturbed the group.
In Magdeburg about 30 people took to the streets to commemorate, carrying a banner saying “Capitalism kills. Away with the nuclear state!” The procession chanted, “France, France, that was murder! Fight the Castor everywhere! Make a fist! Turn rage and sorrow into resistance.” Police attacked protesters brutally, says their IndyMedia post and arbitrarily arrested people while those they already held were kept in check by frenzied dogs. All this smashed the demonstration. Windows of a government ministry were damaged to take the resistance to one of the responsible instances.
About 50 people gathered in Tübingen to express their rage and sorrow. They kept a 30-minute vigil. About 20 people blocked rails and held up a train for about 15 minutes. The protesters read out a flier. Another demo is planned for Monday. 5 pm on the Holzmarkt in Tübingen.
A dissenter writes under the Tübingen post that he/she can’t accept the charge that the activist was murdered. All reporting indicates that it was an accident that the locomotive driver did n ow want, the writer says.
In another post a writer suggests that the young Frenchman was deliberately run over to set an example and prevent more chainings.
A demo is being called in Frankfurt/Main at 6 pm Monday from Westbahnhof to a branch of COGEMA, the company that operates the La Hague processing plant.
In Darmstadt about 70 people are reported to have gathered for about an hour in the main railway station to commemorate the dead activist.
In Lüneburg short of 100 people gathered on the Rathausplatz for a mourning procession. They placed lit candles in the form of a large X, a symbol of the anti-nuclear resistance. The demonstrators then walked through the city centre and main roads, causing motor traffic to halt for about an hour and a half. Passers-by spontaneously joined the mourners.
In Hanover 100-150 took to the streets in two separate demos. Cops wearing helmets accompanied them. All of the people were arrested. "Normal" people, not taking part at the protest reacted very angry towards police, shouted: "This is what democracy lokks like" and "let them free".
About 170 people gathered for a spontaneous protest in Göttingen central station to express their rage. Some of them leaned against an ICE express train which drove off regardless. The demo then moved through the city centre, accompanied by police. A demo is planned for Monday at 5 pm by the Gänseliesel.
In Bremen about 100 people gathered on the Marktplatz. Fliers were handed out with known information about the demonstrator’s death. A spontaneous procession went through the city centre. After a short cat and mouse game through Bremen alleys, the police escort grew to six car loads. A camper in the Wendland writes that they’re shocked, sad and enraged there. The writer calls on all to come to the Wendland. Info telephone 0162-9863594, Castor hotline: 01805-252569.
More than 1,000 people were reported to have taken part in a mourning rally in Hitzacker in the Wendland. In four short addresses, people’s feelings were addressed and that it wouldn’t be good to just give up now. Afterwards a spontaneous demo of 200 moved through the town on the Elbe River. A few eggs burst on police cars. Windows of three police cars were broken. About 50 people squatted on the rails at the station. Pictures at www.castornix.de .
A protest and mourning rally took place in the Darmstadt central station. About 60 people took part in the 1-hour gathering.
Holding burning torches, Celle activists placed a vigil of 25 people in the hall and on all platforms of their local railways station. Police respected this spontaneous expression of grief. Mourning in Jena. Candles were placed in the pedestrian precinct.
