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

Monday November 22, 2004 14:13 by iosaf

had an election. Yushchenko versus Yanukovych
didn't qualify as a free open democratic accountable election like the ones you get for school class rep.
Yushchenko versus Yanukovych
means - (according to aunty Beeb)
Viktor Yanukovych:
Aged 54
Imprisoned twice in his youth
Former governor of industrial Donetsk region
Raised pensions and public sector pay before election
Would make Russian second official language and allow dual citizenship
Viktor Yushchenko:
Aged 50
An economist and former central banker
Has an American wife
Promises to fight corruption, create five million jobs and pursue free market reforms
Would seek deeper relations with the Europe and the West For one thing there was way too much inteference in campaigning by the government and extra-state forces.
For another there was no guarantee of complete franchise.
And now they're on the street.
from ITAR TASS -
" KIEV, November 22 (Itar-Tass) - Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich is confidently in the lead in the second round of the presidential race. The Central Electoral Commission announced, after processing 98.23 per cent of ballot papers, that Yanukovich got 49.57 of votes, and Yushchenko – 46.57 per cent. So, the gap between them is 3 per cent.
Yanukovich got all-out support in Donetsk Region (96.2 per cent), Lugansk Region (92.7 per cent), Sevastopol (88.97 per cent), the Crimea (81.99 per cent), the Zaporozhye Region (71.5 per cent), the Kharkov Region (70.26 per cent), the Odessa Region (67.58 per cent), the Nikolaev Region (69.67 per cent) and the Dnepropetrovsk Region (63.6 per cent).
Yushchenko is in the lead in Kiev (75 per cent), the Ternopol Region (93.53 per cent), the Ivano-Frankovsk Region (93.44 per cent), the Lvov Region (91.86 per cent), the Volyn Region (85.63 per cent), the Rovno Region (76.61 per cent), the Kiev Region (76.49 per cent), the Vinnitsa Region (75.87 per cent), the Poltava Region (60.87 per cent) and the Sumy Region (69.15 per cent).
New figures appeared on the Internet-site of the Central Electoral Commission of Ukraine despite the fact that Chairman of the Electoral Commission Sergei Kivalov announced a technical break in the processing of protocols coming from polling stations until 15.00, Moscow time. He said openly that “the situation is very serious. The struggle is going on for every per cent, for every vote. Everybody wants to hear as soon as possible who became a new president of Ukraine. However, we should work quickly but carefully."
and also BBC world-
"We are launching an organised movement of civil resistance," Mr Yushchenko told the crowd, who braved sub-zero cold. "Don't leave Independence Square until victory," he said.
He denounced the "total falsification" of Sunday's vote, which followed days of acrimonious wrangling over the results of the first round.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8According to the European Union, Ukraine’s presidential elections did not meet international standards.
Dutch Foreign Minister Bernard Bot said each EU member-state would summon the Ukrainian ambassador to express concern about the outcome, which appears to have given victory to pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich over pro-Western liberal opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko.
“All EU member states are going to invite the Ukrainian ambassadors to convey our feelings that in our view the second round does not comply with international standards,” Bot said.
“We are very concerned about the news we have had about the outcome,”
Mr Bot is the Dutch Man who does Foreign affairs for the EU.
http://itar-tass.com/eng/level2.html?NewsID=1482828&PageNum=0
Now Mr Bot is being busy on the Eastern Front, having issued three statements in the last cople of days on "our former Soviet neighbours".
As you know, some of our former Soviet neighbours are now so european that they can move freely throughout the EU and end getting killed in north dublin, or share a flat with the merrovinginvanjan in Barcelona. Others however have not been so fortuanate, and can only look forward to a life of grubbing on the steppes or perhaps selling their bottoms whilst living a life of a sexual slavery. This concerns the EU a lot.
And I'll tell you why. Just like Kev has told you on teh feature page about Dublin Corp. having lots of "capital" tied up in property, the former soviets have lots tied up in property too, about 3 trillion euros in what is still termed "dead capital". It's easier to sell a old red army nuclear bomb than a flat complex in Kiev, which is a great challenge for the sort of people Mr Bot represents.
read more about Mr Bot's representations at the Nederlands 2004 EU site, which is just like the one that made Ireland important for the first six months of 2004 except its in Dutch. The language they speak amongst themselves in Amsterdam.

viktor won.
Ook president Poetin zei dat er een vreedzame oplossing moet komen binnen grondwettelijke kaders. Maar hij nam afstand van het EU-standpunt met te benadrukken dat men niet het recht heeft om zich van buitenaf te mengen in het verkiezingsproces in Oekraïne.
now includes the Pope.
The Pope is polish.
great man, but represents an institution which really was very very anti-semitic you know. Though they don't like to talk about that anymore. No-one likes talking about the eastern front much anymore. Loads of people had hoped to forget it. But when I saw that picture of Viktor "the orange" with that blonde supporter in plaited tresses, hmmm.
Oh yes there are loads of blondes in the Ukraine. Hmmm. There is loads of radioactive acne as well. Get out of there quickly, europe, coz let's be honest, the Dutch aren't the right people to lead us into an ethnic conflict are they?
Vlad the Ras-Putin has spoken, the ancient contract holds, no occidental vampires welcome in Kiev.
and what pray tell did/will the Swp have to say? The lesson ought be, if you can't trust the Americans on Iraq, and you don't really trust them at poker, and you don't trust their elections, and you don't like their cinema, and you don't know your alien from your predator, then don't listen to them on the Eastern front. They never went there.
Millions of europeans did. including germans, rumanians, spanish and italians Millions of russians did including ukranians. And millions never ever came back.
The dollar will continue it's weak curve, but depreciating against te swiss franc rather than Euro which will pick up by evening time as investors suffer from "loss realisation" and it's allied problem "market leader illusion" and try and bail out the Japanese by monday morning. Fair play to you Putin, you trully are a "great leader".
Hi just saw a report about what's going on in the Ukraine (on arte, a French-German TV station like BBC Radio 4). On the news for the deaf last week, as the sign language presenter was supposed to communicate the election results she instead said "It's a fraud. He's not the president..."
When will people in RTE dare do something like that?
The Holy See has said the move is further confirmation of the Pontiff's intention to promote
closer co-operation and ties between Roman and Orthodox Catholic churches. The remains are believed to be those of two 1st century common era saints, and had previously been under dispute as to their possession by both the Orthodox and Roman religious traditions.
The dead men were known as -
Gregory of Nazianze and John Chrysostom.
They worked as doctors of the church and recieved summary canonisation for their part in building the institutions of state and the titles "patriarch". As such these Saints Gregory and John are very important to orthodox believers from Moscow via Kiev to Ranelagh road.
Their remains were allegedly taken from Istanbul to Rome during the XIII century crusade.
If your family are in possession of any relics or human remains that might help the process of international understanding, solidarity and fraternal relations with the optional extra of free, open accountable and democratic elections just like you get for school class room rep...
Now might be the time to think about giving them back.
REST.
