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 Fightback Against Politicised Art Has Begun Wed Oct 08, 2025 15:27 | Ferro
The public's indifference to art has never been greater. No wonder, says Ferro: it's all just tired Left-progressive politics by another means. But the fightback for real art that moves the human soul has begun.

Japan, Manila, Jakarta have operating iMC's and civil society horizontal publication fora, which includes
the use of AMARC and Radio amongst protest groups- many stories from London and NYC make it to
Jakarta which operates on Oscailt V 204.
The coverage of the Bali Climate Conference is on Jakarta IMC along with links to cSO forum:-
http://english.csoforum.net
http://www.isiswomen.org
There is no translation button but some of the international reports including the Brad Will coverage is in
English.
http://www.indymedia.org includes a list along the lefthand column to the global sites.
There were mud slides in indonesia today with 66 reported deaths.Every year there are huge toxic forest fires which
barely make it to the international media and the situation regarding violence is also largely ignored.
For the last two weeks there has been curfew and agigtation in Kuala Lumpar with Indian citizens
marching on the British sites to oppose the history of British Colonisation with street fighting and arrests of protestors.
Other information that does not come through is the problem with regard to Timor-Leste where many western journos
do not go and the humanitarian situation is appalling over there, when it flares up the people can identify the
planes and their nationalities which overfly the region.
The civil society groups have been agigtating for change and were largely not allowed to attend the Bali
conference this year, IFEX/AMARC and ISIS have developed international links to increase awareness of
problems in the Pacific Area , they work incredibly closely with the UN and the EFF but their work is wholly
ignored by representaives of commercial media.
Thousands died, there is a corruption case embrogolio outside the private room where
a 'friend of the west' and avowed anti-communist lies dying.
Mainstream media coverage via Reuters and CNN.
Maybe someday my friends who escaped the regime will be able to go back with
their kids, though huge eco disaster, (forest fires and corruption) make it
unattractive.
The president of Indonesia is dying today, the doctors have him on a ventilator with
instructions not to recussitate because of multiple organ failure.
Thousands may have survived the catastrophe at Aceh if a dictator supported by 'foreign
interests'' had not so sucessfully hampered information sharing and freedom of
speech, if distrust of help had not hampered rescue attempts.. cf 'Red Cross' reports
in first comment.
Suharto who stood accused of corruption, massacre and eco destruction, was
always seen 'as a friend of the West'- he lasted 32 years and the catalogue of
abuse is still being collated. though its easy enough to meet and talk to Indonesians
in Ireland who have come here to escape the result of Suharto's Policy.
Its all over the mainstream, very little however on the 2000 agreements between
three globalised economies on the future (ecological and sustainable) of the
Andaman Islands which are under threat because of a 1,400 K roadway
(superhighway) being built through these lands which India had 'preserved'-
The tribes were also relocated and suffered illness and death as a result of Government
policy in the area.
The three economies that are interested in developing the highway are Burma-Myanmar,
India and China.
amazing how the corrupt are always facilitated by the media and the West, who 'tut' after
the deaths. All mainstream from NY Times to Independent to I.T are discussing how
he was disgraced and villified- but not one of them has looked in any depth into
the eco disaster that Indonesia has become. I hear reports of huge forest fires and
human rights abuses from friends on a regular basis- it does not get past local news
unless its a big f***ing earthquake.
