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.

François Chérèque of the CFDT trade union believes that “the objective is achieved”.
Bruno Julliard of student union UNEF now looks to “Maintain the pressure” after this “first victory”.
Why is it a victory if you cant get a job because someone else who can never be fired for incompetance or inefficiently has lifetime job security?
What the French labour system does in effect is reward lazy workers and punish employers and the unemployed who want to make living and improve their society economically.
The French economy is stagnated and shrivelling.
Foreign investment is going elsewhere while neighbouring European economies who have open their doors to development and trade are prospering.
The French have not learned from the riots in the suburbs by Muslims who came to their country for a better life but have been shut out by middle class bourgeoisie and pampered students and herded into ghettos.
France is creaking and on the verge of collapse.
now that they have been guaranteed work for life - they can put their Sociology degrees to proper use - but they will have a difficult time rationalizing the displacement of their suburban, poorer brethren....In America that kind of degree is more likely to ensure a job driving a Taxi...de Villepin was only trying to balance things out....there is more rioting to come...back to the suburbs - it's the immigrants' turn to riot...this cycle will never end....
The French know how to live - let's face it - they dress well, eat well, have the best haircuts, the best cafes, the classiest women, a beautiful language, great manners...I could go on. And their lifestyle is enviable - so half of me says - leave them alone - let them have their jobs for life for they can amuse themselves with the finer things in life - but the other half of me says - this is ridiculous in the modern world - and unfair to the employer, really, to have to hire and keep workers he barely tolerates....and maybe for life.
I think Prime Minister de Villepin has been greatly misunderstood and his acquiescence to the spoiled brats who eschewed program - will not French state who will reap no benefit from any ot this.
Cyril Ferez is still in coma.
Cyrill Ferez, a member of the Union SUD PTT is in coma after a brutally attack by the CRS (french police).
& now out they come the "liberal capitalism was great for my grannie's hip" experts, and to top it all off, RTE's piece "after weeks of violent unrest".
FUCK OFF.
maximum participation on one day 3,000,000 people.
maximum arrests 79 on that day and following.
only one serious injury - a 40 something old trade unionist who was too slow running away from the Cops.

look at that link kids. look at those letters "r-t-e".
They are your real enemy. They are the real foe of media freedom in Ireland.
Not the Sindo, Not the PDs. them. as always. Which is why so many FF elite types like to shag their well known faces.
I see you're putting you're degree in cursing to active use in the community. Look at the bigger picture, will you, and try and see beyond your tiny bunker. There is a great big world out there and it requires more than the myopic vision you bring to this French tale. The French are trying to run a country in very difficult times with a huge muslim population and a great many immigrants from their previous colonies. They are also a big part of the EEC. Little countries like Ireland tend to benefit more from this alliance than the bigger ones. In the old French world, the status quo would be little problem - keep your job for life - enjoy the cafes and the good life - but we are in a new millenium now. If you are going to respond, attempt a response without expletives. All it accomplishes is to reduce the impact of your statement....
