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.

Extract from a call between Ms Pelloti and Mr Foster at 0915 GMT on Thursday.
Mr Foster: "Carole made a big mistake getting involved, she should have shut up."
Ms Pelloti: "She should have shut her mouth and it was going away."
Mr Foster: "She's in the middle of it. She's going to get caught in the lie. This is just more reason for me to come out now and clarify. I can even come out to save her. If she starts to get slaughtered in the papers tomorrow I'll come out and say I've got to protect her."
Ms Pelloti: "Is it true that Cherie never read the papers?"
Mr Foster: "No of course not, she read them. I think Carole is stupid. She was trying to protect a friend and it was a knee-jerk reaction."
------------------------------------------------------------
Call between Mr Foster and Ms Pelloti at 1130 GMT on Thursday
Mr Foster: "It's me. The trouble we're having at the moment is that the Sunday Times will pay me any amount of money I want for my story as long as it goes to a charity and not me.
"Yeah, basically it's not their policy to pay a criminal. So even though there's no criminal act involved here I mean, I seem to be having trouble getting them to actually pay me."
Ms Pelloti: "What are you going to gain by it? Nothing?"
Mr Foster: "No."
Ms Pelloti: "No, just say you've lost a lot over this. You're a charity, you know. I wouldn't do it for a charity."
------------------------------------------------------------
Call between Ms Pelloti and Mr Foster at 1156 GMT
Ms Pelloti: "I don't see any point in you doing it for nothing Pete.
Mr Foster: "No, I'm going to hold out for money for another 24 hours. I'm just going to get back strong now and say that."
Call between Mr Foster and Ms Pelloti at 1838 GMT: "There's a story going out tomorrow in the biggest selling trade journal that I've got a 300,000-word autobiography and publishers are scrambling to get the rights - and what he's hoping that might do is get the publishers out of the woodwork.
"The Mail might also do a serialisation on the book and he's trying to put that together also. A couple of, you know, irons in the fire there. But I don't think anyone is going to write a cheque for £100,000 for me to tell my story or anything."
Ms Pelloti later seemingly refers to the financial consequences of the row
Ms Pelloti: "Tell me truthfully, how long can we survive?"
Mr Foster: "A couple of months. If someone had come along and given me £100,000 for my story then beautiful. But they just won't do it. They are just saying I'm a crook and a conman and they won't pay it.
"One of the editors said to us today it's a sad state of affairs when we can believe the word of a PM's wife but we can't trust the word of a conman."
Ms Pelloti: "They are not allowed to do it?"
Mr Foster: "That's what they are saying. They won't pay me -just listen to me. You're always looking for a miracle like a mail order ad or something, right? I'm as frustrated as you they will not pay."
