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. The Saker >>

while pretending to be a "humanitarian"
According to Walter Kansteiner, US Under-secretary of State for African affairs, African oil "has become a national strategic interest". Ed Royce, the influential Republican senator for California and chairman of the Congress African subcommittee, maintains "African oil should be treated as a priority for US national security post 9-11" . Congress and the White House have yet to make this strategy official.
 During the presidential election campaign the little Bush said, "there is a firm economic basis for US interest in the continent (Africa)." . The UN Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) estimates Africa's total oil reserves as 80bn barrels, 8% of the world's crude reserves. According to National Intelligence Council forecasts, the US could be importing as much as 25% of its oil from central Africa by 2015 .
With output of more than 4m barrels a day, sub-Saharan Africa already produces as much as Iran, Venezuela and Mexico combined.
Sudan, which started exporting oil three years ago, now outputs 186,000 barrels a day.
Nigeria, Africa's leading exporter of crude oil, is set to increase daily output from 2.2m to 3m barrels, rising to 4.42m by 2020.
By 2020 Angola it is expected to double output to 3.28m barrels a day.
Equatorial Guinea currently holds the record (alongside Angola) for oil prospecting permits.
The Gulf of Guinea, with estimated reserves of 24bn barrels.
The Chad-Cameroon pipeline will carry a further 250,000 barrels a day to the Atlantic.
Sudan has long been a target for foreign oil bloodsuckers and their lies about "Arab militias" and "ethnic cleansing" are as real as their "weapons of mass destruction" lies. The truth is that the western intelligence agencies including Mossad have been stirring unrest near Sudan's massive oil fields and pipeline in order to destabilise the Islamic government and steal their oil. Chad which is also vital to US and western oil interests is next door to Sudan, a country which the US has declared it wants to invade to "fight terrorists". Sudan and it's Islamic people pose a major problem for the entire African pipe dream. And Christian/Zionist Crusaders find an added motivation in seeing it's Islamic people die in great numbers.
The Chad-Cameroon pipeline was conceived in 1996 with support from the Clinton administration and developed by an international consortium, with ExxonMobile holding a 40 percent stake, Malaysia's Petronas 35 percent, and ChevronTexaco 25 percent. Funded in part by the World Bank (3%), the oil pipeline project is , "aimed at developing West African oil as an alternative to Mideast supplies" . Backers say daily production will hit 250,000 barrels at peak and revenues could reach $2 billion for Chad and $500 million for Cameroon over the projected 25-year production period.
June 23rd, 2004: India's ONGC Videsh Ltd started talks to buy the 35% stake of French petroleum major Total S.A. in an onshore oil exploration block in Sudan's Muglad basin, investing close to $750 million in constructing a product pipeline from Khartoum refinery to Port Sudan and in revamping the Port Sudan refinery. The deal was signed with the Sudanese government on July 2nd 2004, while we were all being shown pictures of Africans on camels supposedly being "Arabs" and engaged in "ethnic cleansing". Did you fall for it?
January 2004, Sudan's estimated proven reserves of crude oil stood at 563 million barrels, more than twice the 262 million barrels estimated in 2001. By June 2004, Sudanese crude oil production was averaging about 345,000 barrels per day (bbl/d), up from 270,000 bbl/d during 2003.
June 28th, 2004: The Sudanese Minister of Energy and Mining, Dr. Awad Ahmed Al-Jaz, announced that the country's oil production will increase to 500,000 barrels per day during the coming year.
July 29th, 2004: The Russian company Stroitransgaz will take part in the construction of oil pipeline in Sudan. Stroitransgaz has won the tender for construction of the 366-kilometre-long section of the oil pipeline Melut Basin Oil Development Project.
The Institute for advanced strategic and political studies is the group involving CIA and Mossad who advise the US government on African developments and then , some would say, to institute actions on the ground with spies and mercenaries bribing, corrupting and murdering their way to ,"achieving their full potential".
http://www.iasps.org/
IASPS is a think-tank set up in Jerusalem in 1984 and has close links with the Likud party. In January 2002 IASPS organised a symposium attended by members of the Bush administration , Lt-Col Karen Kwiatkowksi, an airforce officer seconded to the defence secretary and senior executives from oil firms and investment funds. The meeting marked the start of the African Oil Policy Initiative Group (AOPIG) set up to interface between private and public sectors and agencies to, implement (terrorist) actions, global propaganda and the hiring of mercenaries to push through US policy on the ground in Africa.
What you see on television is the result of these people and not some "Arab militia". They are liars, thieves, corrupters and murders who have only their own interests at heart. They will leave Africa in dust and death to fill their oil tankers.
