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.

If you are saying that the 'west brit' mentality is the 'enemy within', I think you need to refresh your terms of refernce for the 21st century.
Its more the east yank these days.
Its gotten more complex since that cliche was coined. The brits are only trying to hang on and ride pillion on the feds coat-tails.
No need to look at who is joining the British Army to glean the extent of the "west brit" menatlity that resides here. Read todays Sindo and particulatly "Owing Harris" who is actually calling on the Minister to instruct RTE journalists to call the wee six Northern Ireland instead of the North of Ireland. And fellas, the guys that go to do Britains bidding by joining their army are paid for by the British taxpayer, you dear friends, are paying "Owing" to hang about the place and come up with drivel.
so you enlighten me.
I dont think you would be off topic to expand on how you define republican.Is despising the scumbag dregs of her majesty's finest the total extent of it?
and are you saying we should all ignore our history?Or just that you have already read it all.Or that your personal historic experience of the auxies makes all discussion redundant?
thanks opus glad you're there to show us the light.........
fuck all british soldiers i have no sympathy for any of them,and fuck you if you think i need to read our history
i know who the scum are,the british army........
Trouble I have with that, soldier, is that you finish up fighting for the bastards that cause the famines and defending them from other hungry soldiers.
I think it makes more sense to shoot the fucker that gave you no other option, rather than someone who is in the same boat as yourself.
Why should we have to slaughter each other for a living when there is plenty for all if it was not for the miserable hogs that never will have enough?
When you are unemployed the Queen's Shilling is as good as NAMA's Shilling.
.
Your scattergun is overheating.
'...the islamofascism of the taliban and al qaeda in Afghanistan....'?
Not so long ago they were the brave freedom fighters resisting the godless commies and holding back the tide of atheistic expansionism even though Moscow was actually pursuing a program not a million miles away from the aims of the current retreating coalition of th war-willed.
Do keep up.
So someone calling himself 'republican' thinks the British army is the worst ever, so you've no problem with the SS or the brutality of Stalin's Red Army I suppose? Well what can you expect from someone who supports those IRA scumbags who murdered civilians at Enniskillen or Warrington?
The brave Irishmen who fought against the Nazis in WW2 are the ones we should admire, not those IRA types like Sean Russell who actively collaborated with the Nazis even as deathcamps were being constructed in Poland. Well done to those Irishmen confronting the the islamofascism of the taliban and al qaeda in Afghanistan, well done lads!
You'll fall into the mirror. I've had the pleasure of meeting the wrong end of their hardware(fortunately they had the safety catches on).,but I've also worked with ex-squaddies in Germany and Netherlands. Some of them saw themselves much the same way as Paddy soldier in the blue cap in Lebanon.A lot of them were just lads from the lumpen who joined for the chance of getting a trade and an exit from the ghetto they got born into.I've also encountered the Brit rabid reaction animals up close in civies. You sound a bit like a tricolored one from that comment.
If you judge people by their flags you'll turn into a green fucking orangeman.And I'm sure some of them are as disgusted by the shankill butchery as a lot of us republicans were by the shit some of those calling themselves republicans got up to.
Our worst enemies have always been Irishmen.Go read your history a bit closer.Or look at the present fucking shower of quislings collaborating with the Iraq and Afghan shit.All nomional 'republicans'.Lots of the poor fuckers in Iraq and Afghanistan never got the chance at an education that might let then penetrate the propaganda they get hosed in.
If you were born in manchester you might have been that Tommy.Or are you among the boneheads think we can bomb our way to justice?
its kind of annoying when you hear of irish men joining the most despicable army in the world
but one just remembers with joy,how they got wiped out at kilmichael,obliterated at narrowater and
put down at massarene like the scum that they are. thumbs up to anyone who hits any of these irish sellouts
with an i.e.d. in afghanistan.
time his brainpan got exercised.
Could you break that down into words of half a syllable for A. Freeman. His head has started to fry.
Thats a bit simplistic. Britannia and the Teutonic empire were fighting for 'lebensraum' and to see who was to get the 'lion's' share of global resources for their plutocratic industrial elites.Uncle Sam played both ends against the middle, hedged its bets, got the allies into hock and proceeded to scoop the globe. It didn't start in September '39.
As for freeman's '..worse if they'd joined al qaeda'; the Anglo-US coalition of the willing western corporate plutocrats created al qaeda for their own ends and could have had Osama(their former leutenant) on a platter by tugging on the pakistan intelligence rope after 9/11 if the neo-con war party was not so gung-ho for a total make-over of the middle east in their own pseudo-democratic image. With the saudi kingpin getting geriatric and unstable they needed a solid presence on the ground to keep the oil in THEIR engine of carcinomic growth rather than the chinese.
Well done to them, it would've been much worse if they'd joined al qaeda!
I think you'll find that's part of the Anglicisation
"I have endured the anglicisation of ireland,"
You speak the English language I notice.
.
I have endured the anglicisation of ireland,if you notice,particulary in dublin and up north there is a lot of this..Irish culture and language are not supported and EVEN DISCOURAGED.
Irish have always( NOT AS TRADITION AS SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO SAY),had to fight along english soldiers in the past..and now that is it a matter of choice,some are brainwashed into thinking,(as THEY CANNOT THINK)that joining the army in these times of conflict in other nations is A GOOD IDEA.
Killing people as an option?
"As were the Luftwaffe and the Hirohito's suicide pilots. But its usually someone elses conception of 'your' duty".
Very true.
The RAF obliterated Hamburg and Berlin to keep Hitler at bay.
Not because they hated Germans.
As were the Luftwaffe and the Hirohito's suicide pilots. But its usually someone elses conception of 'your' duty.
When the RAF obliterated Hamburg and Berlin and Dresden they we were doing their duty.
Spoken like a mercenary. Or a mugger. The ones at risk in war are the unarmed civilians, mostly women and children. And in modern warfare of attrition and logistical depletion of the enemies resources and civilian population demoralisation, as in the recent demonstrations in Lebanon and Gaza, schools, hospitals, and other productive and supportive infrastrucure that will soak up personnel, treasure and a population's will to resist.
Nothing too brave about surrendering your individual autonomy and conscience to obey orders for money. It does, however, have the major advantage of saving you the trouble of growing a brain and becoming an adult,and substitutes the pleasure of gratifying your childhood fantasies of dominating the playground while your 'superior' officers reassure you right is on your side. And then there is all that camaraderie, just like being in the gang and putting down the uppity neighbours.Try thinking, soldier.
No I'm an EX-pacifist. I've no trouble with killing, but I will be sure its a last resort, and it wont be someone elses choice of target if it happens. It is, after all, as the phrase has it, a target-rich fucking environment. But the legitimate targets have all the weapons. The good news is there must be nearly enough ammo by now. Lockheed Martin's planned investment in the Israeli arms industry should see to it that there is a stealth bomber for everyone in the audience.
Brave Irish people fight in every army in the world.
Brings in a shilling.......even a Queens Shilling.
What is the "Black sheep" caption about ?
