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.

I just got back from a FEMA Detainment Camp

If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I was peering through the fence at a concentration camp.

FEMA Forbids You to View These Images

An excellent first-hand account of surviving Hurricane Katrina which pays tribute to the heroism of the ordinary working people in the face of catastrophe.
The author describes how food spoiled in shop windows in plain view while police chase away looters, how people co-operated and worked together once they had food and water, how families were repeatedly faced with violence and the threat of violence from the police and how they were prevented from evacuating New Orleans on foot despite the fact that the only two official shelters were already over-crowded.
It seems there was a definite policy of preventing groups of people coalesce and work together as a community - particularly if they were camping in a public place viewable by the mainstream media. If more than 20 people joined together, they were seen as a threat to state forces and had to be dispersed.
Let's hope this gets out on the newswires fast.
The destruction of this community is symptomatic of a state that worships at the altar of unfettered capitalism.
What a contrast with the Cuban experience of Katrina of which Nelson Valdes Latin American specialist University of New Mexico said, " the whole civil defense is embedded in the community to begin with . People know ahead of time where they are to go".
Cuban leaders did not go on holiday during the hurricane, they led, ensuring communities were evacuated with local doctors who knew medical histories to safe shelters on higher ground.They even arranged for pets and valuables such as TVs to be moved, a degree of organisation so sadly lacking in the US. While 20,000 houses were destroyed there were no deaths.
Fidel Castro said Cuba had been preparing for such a devestating hurricane for decades, Bush cut budgets for FEMA and critically he cut the budget for levee construction in New Orleans by 45%.
Small wonder then that his vice president was greeted by the immortal words "Fuck off Mr Cheney " when he finally managed to get his fat white arse down to the region.
Before Al , Noel et al start on the old , 'go and live in Cuba if you like it so much ' shit go and ask some of the black ,working class residents of New Orleans who were so shamefully betrayed what they now think about the 'land of the free'.
I didnt say a word. Folow the links provided, they offer a better insight into this story.
Friday 16th September is "national prayer day for the victims of Katrina" the date has been set by President Bush.
Meanwhile, debit cards have been distributed to the disaster survivors to assist their family unit allocation of approximately 2000$.
Let us reflect, that it has taken less than 2 weeks for the return of the debit card, a sure sign of order being restored. Meanwhile aid is reaching the poorest states of the USA from Mexico and the EU now.

The New Orleans prison camp has been opened in the last hours.
Located at the former Greyhound intercity and interstate Bus station, the camp will be home to an announced capacity figure of 220 looting suspects.
They will be interned there till trial. It is unclear what law they are being held under, and it is clear that normal rights have been disposed of.
I told you (in a way most would have thought ridiculous) in "the survival tips" [linked to the feature article on main page] all you needed to know, about how disasters and surviving them works. Fox TV the "lowest common denominator" public info system in the USA last night advised people to "keep their hands clean". And those who used their radios did indeed find that GM food and credit cards return "mighty quick". Those who are being interned are those who carried arms, had ample cigarettes with no obvious reason (they didn't run the only dixie kkk pub to stay open all storm season) or had refused to leave certain now "quarantined" areas of the former city.

Dogs are now being shot in New Orleans.
This really doesn't help the morale of locals who stayed on because of their dogs, but you know how it goes, that doggie has better kidneys and liver than you and will not seem sick till its real sick. And that doggie has a fine nose and is very territorial. It finds food you wouldn't, and eats it and doesn't give a damn why you're in its garden.
Before it dies from horrible toxins and bacteria, your doggie goes near rabid.
What can we learn from this?
Doggies like Prisoners ought be high on the evacuation list. The average american doesn't give a shit about poor people or prisoners, but doggies thats different.
Doggies are constitutional. You've never read "no prisoner or combattant or real poor person was harmed in the making of this movie" have you? No. All of this adds up.
Straw upon straw. Its meta-narrative and as they wonder now will N.O. kids newly arrived in Heuston not drop out of school, and they wonder at the work 12 year olds are capable of doing for free, to be heroic......
It is very likely that the next US federal disaster management will face morale crises before the chains of organisation break down. Thats horrible. So thats why kids we're going to do our best globally to prepare ye, above average inteligent people with strong community values.
