 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.

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.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1The coverage of the abortion story in Mexico City is at the links.
The coverage of the LPR and PiS attempt to change article 38 of the Polish constitution
is at :- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/81988
[entitled :- When States Fail to Meet their Legal Obligation]
The Alicija Tysiac Case is at :- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/81591
The Gender inequalities in Community Media urged to be stopped Article is at:-
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/82265
( no-one would deny that Mexico city has a long way to go in the recognition of the
human rights issues in abortion, including the right to privacy and bodily
integrity of the woman or girl. This issue is also current in Portugal where a
referendum on abortion rights just missed the majority necessary and Jose
Socrates must now legislate with human rights groups and NGO's to provide
free, safe and legal abortion in that country- but the fact remains that the issues
of women's reproductive rights are largely being legislated or changed
under the sponsorship of male dominated, catholic legislatures without
recourse to women and their representatives who largely stand outside
the political and hierarchical structures which are creating these decisions without
dialogue)
The wording of the article that the LPR and PiS tried to change in the Polish
Constitution was :- " To protect human life from the moment of conception".
This also closely coincided with the abolition of all abortion (including ectopic
pregnancies in Nircaragua ) which included the then presidential hopeful
Daniel Ortega- after a campaign by the Catholic Church during the
Nicaraguan presidential election campaign.
'Mexico City recently legalised abortion rights for women'
No, this is not true. In Mexico City abortion is no longer completely illegal - as today it is legal for the first 12 weeks only.
Still a huge restriction on a woman's right to choose.
The online magazine by the Phillipine based isiswomen is just out,
it contains links to the iwmf report on safety and security concerns for
journalists and the community media discussion on women in media.
two links , I am publishing here are related to the issue of abortion in Latin and
North America.
Mexico City recently legalised abortion rights for women and there is an archive
document at this link which discusses the religious right's agenda in relation to
the global women's movements and reproductive rights.
There is also a link to the coverage of the issue to al jazeera's english language coverage.
http://www.commondreams.org/archive/2007/05/02/912 (It's not just an Abortion Ban
The Christian Right's Global Agenda)
http://www.isiswomen.org/index.phph?option=com/content&...d=204
(in case that does not work , all info is available on their site :-http://www.isiswomen.org
The al jazeera link is :-
http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/97463D17-1089-40...4.htm
The relevant sections are on 'Movement's Within'.
I was going to put this on the 'When States Fail to meet their Legal Obligations' thread
which chronicles the movements by the PiS/LPR to change the reproductive rights
agenda in Poland, which led to the the splitting of the Polish Parliament and the
resignation of the Parliamentary Speaker , Marek Jurek, which incidentially coincided
with the ECHR ruling on The Alicia Tysiac case, but the issues of safety and
security in media and the discussion documents belong to this thread.
will add in the Jurek and Tysiac threads later. (article numbers)
