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: 1The first prisoners arrived in Guantanamo bay on January 11th 2002 exactly four months after the World Trade Centre buildings collapsed on live TV.
It took 4 years for Associated Press to semi-successfully bring an action under the Freedom of Information act against the US government to list the inmates, which sourced the bulk of the names on this list for March 6th 2006 (one year ago). The total number was 589 which added over 60 names to the previous estimate of 510, I write "over 60" because during the period 2003-2005 successful actions were brought by the states of France, Germany, Yemen, Pakistan, Spain and the UK amongst others to repatriate their citizens. Of those repatriated the vast majority have later been acquitted of any terrorist offences in courts of law. As of 2005 it was estimated 59 prisoners had comitted suicide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Guant%C3%A1namo_Ba...inees but there were obvious holes and absences in the PDF files produced by the US department of Defence http://www.answers.com/topic/guantanamo-detainees-missi...-list The list of 589 names expanded to 759 in May 2006 the inconsistencies again raised doubts - the two lists did not correlate and names were repeated in mis-spellt forms. At roughly the same time Guantanamo Bay was declared the "gulag of our time" by Amnesty International in their annual report of 2005 http://web.amnesty.org/report2005/index-eng http://web.amnesty.org/pages/guantanamobay-index-eng The condemnation of lawlessness, arbitrary detention - no charges - no habeus corpus - had already been made by the UK Law Lord Steyn in 2003 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/3238624.stm
As the world woke up to rendition flights & investigated the possibility of "black prisons" (worse than Guantanamo in that they had not even been used as psychological weapon) the Washington Post in 2004 had alerted to the likelihood that a second prison was operating within Guantanamo Bay possibly accounting for the mismatch in inmate numbers http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5918-200....html Thus it is worth considering the list of "extra-judicial prisoners" of the USA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Extrajudicial_pri...tates
Only now is the first inmate facing any kind of trial, despite attempts by the CIA and Department of Defence in 2005 to be allowed keep "for life" without charge some of their inmates. Finally the US Supreme Court ruled that the detention camp was illegal - and the concept of "illegal combatants" a fiction.
an Australian citizen David Hicks ( a case reported here this morning from one of our Oz contributors http://www.indymedia.ie/article/81304 http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,213204....html ) is to become the first individual to face a "trial" resulting from the latest attempts by the US administration to bend the law. In the last weeks we have also learnt that without constitutional right the former prime minister of Spain, Jose Maria Aznar sent a team of both police and CNI (spanish secret service) agents to the camp to "interview" Spanish & Moroccan inmates as early as 2002 only two months after the prison had opened, a fact he had managed to conceal upto February 2007. He has since refused to answer questions from any Spanish journalist - about anything.

I am a secularist, I believe that our society in Europe is long ready for a transformation to one based on rights, equality and liberties which can only be achieved by the formal separation of religious belief & practice from the architecture of the State & education of the young - so that democracy may become a reality. I also hold that such a transformation is urgently needed in the USA where religiosity may only further corrupt the political class and erode international law.
But I can not conceal my admiration & profound respect for the ethics & faith based actions of the Catholic Workers whom I would never wish to see removed from our Society but rather brought to its very heart.
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer : This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord :For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth :To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death
