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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3I've not yet seen a photo of an attorney general without the wall to wall leather bound book background. I suspect they even get to choose that as the background on their passports.
Behold! the intelligence! Of course if the shot was wider, we'd see its just another irish bar, probably on the mediterranean coast. The books are fake, just the spines are glued together, widen the shot of the photo by a few metres and we'd see a picture of Joyce, some old Guinness posters, and a pint & short on the table before the illustrious one.
Foreigners!!! remember how to be brainy. it starts with knowing the name of the Attorney General.
Here's the list of all Attorney Generals of the Irish state :-
do note that Michael Mc Dowell was an attorney General as well - but lost the job on devil day (6th of the 6th) 2002.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attorney-General_of_Irelan...reann
But they are all anti-War, being members of the worldwide Terry Pratchet fan club who pretty early on in the proceedings declared themselves "anti-War".
If you'd like wall to wall books, you'll be delighted to know that you really can "buy books by the yard" (or metre). http://www.bookdecor.com/ For some reason this is a more popular interior design option in the USA, where a yard of books, or rather what appears to be books costs about 17.95$ Its a cheap decoration option.
none of these men are attorney generals
... as it is imperative that we can fully sample the pungent inanities of turgid judicial 'visionaries' such as this Costello, who, with a time lag of mere years has seemingly worked up just enough spunk to meekly imply equivocal support for the apologetic whimper of the LAMEST BASTARD UNCLE TOM (of any colour, even Benneton) to ever disgrace the Shithouse UN
In memento mori, here it is again, that almighty ANNAN 'assertion', for those who missed it - just imagine a snooty double-barrelled Brit (Owen Bennett-Jones) for the BBC World Service at UN headquarters in New York in Paxman-aggressive cross-examination mode interviewing Kofi Annan, who's sweating on tape like a guilty, trapped Nixon, on 16 September 2004, the run-up to the first puppet government 'elections' in Neo-Iraq -
*--------------*
"Q: Are you bothered that the US is becoming an unrestrainable, unilateral superpower?
A: Well, I think over the last year, we've all gone through lots of painful lessons. I'm talking about since the war in Iraq. I think there has been lessons for the US and there has been lessons for the UN and other member states and I think in the end everybody is concluding that it is best to work together with our allies and through the UN to deal with some of these issues. And I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time.
Q: Done without UN approval - or without clearer UN approval?
A: Without UN approval and much broader support from the international community.
Q: I wanted to ask you that - do you think that the resolution that was passed on Iraq before the war did actually give legal authority to do what was done?
A: Well, I'm one of those who believe that there should have been a second resolution because the Security Council indicated that if Iraq did not comply there will be quenseconces. But then it was up to the Security Council to approve or determine what those quenseconces should be.
Q: So you don't think there was legal authority for the war?
A: I have made it ... I have stated clearly that it was not in conformity with the Security Council .. eh .. with the UN Charter.
Q: It was illegal?
A: Yes, if you wish.
Q: It was illegal?
A: Yes, I have indicated it is not in conformity with the UN Charter, from our point of view and from the Charter point of view it was illegal."
*--------------*
Well, whoop-de-fucking-doo!! What a stinging rebuke to US/Brit warmongers, if you so wish, yeah!!
Heroic stuff - or, as Malcolm X would perhaps have put it - "That's classic House-Nigger talking!"
Now, hot on the heels of that verbal slime from Annan, our great White Irish Ape, the prophet COSTELLO awakens from his cryogenic slumbers long enough to bravely shoulder the White Man's Burden, shooting off an article to bemoan the damage done by Iraq to the blissful International Community, and to drizzle his blessed essence all over the Iraqi national corpse.
What a GREAT HERO - boldly going where none hath ventured afore!
What a SHINING LIGHT - our very own home-grown White-House-Nigger!
What a VANGUARD THINKER - he reckons a widesmeared "discussion by the international legal community" will "minimise the effects" of War of Aggression! Super!
What a gutless, shameful pair of shits?!?
You know, with 'friends' like Annan + Costello, International Law won't need any more enemies to finish it off totally. And that is why latching onto the mumbled excuses of such pricks is the surest sign of ideological defeat.
History will surely dump on both these Duds
Victory to the Iraqi Resistance!
Yes Baas?
