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 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11I think that tape needs to be evaluated by impartial experts. I listened on NPR at 2:00 pm they said Powell knew of a tape but the editor of Al Jazeera didn't know about it. Then at 3:00 pm eastern time Al Jazeera said they got the tape. In the meantime, George Tenet, head of the CIA agreed about an exsisting Osama tape. Maybe they are just flooded but when I went to democraticundergroung.com just now, I couldn't get on. There is CIA written all over these tapes!
unfortunately. And after having Ralph Nader and Anita running around for a few days the Iraqis will probably be calling in targets.
But, I just saw an ad with a talking horse in it, it looked so real. Does that mean I shouldn't believe these tapes?!
The statement is indeed from Osama bin Mohammed bin Laden.
Contained in the statement is the following proof that Osama is NOT supporting Saddam or his regime.
"It doesn't matter whether the socialist (Ba'ath) party or Saddam disappear…. And it doesn't harm in these conditions the interest of Muslims to agree with those of the socialists in fighting against the crusaders, even though we believe the socialists are infidels. For the socialists and the rulers have lost their legitimacy a long time ago, and the socialists are infidels regardless of where they are, whether in Baghdad or in Aden. ..."
Even if the tapes are true, all they do is confirm what was predicted by the CIA and BBCs Panorama - that aggression by the USA on Arabic soil could unite the two enemies against USA....
In addition to that, the tape seem to suggest that Osama is supporting the people of Iraq and not Saddam himself - it could be just that he hates Saddam less than George.
Osama Bin Laden turns up and helps them out. Of course Osama is an old friend of the Bush clan.
Colin Powell says this is proof positive of "strong links between Iraq and Osama Bin Laden". Osama also gave the death kiss to the Palestinians by claiming to support them. Not that Israel needs any justification for its campaign of ethnic cleansing on the West Bank and Gaza.
We were told definitely, by the CIA that Osama Bin Laden was dead. Now, Christ-like, he is resurrected just when old George and pals need him. Still it keeps the boys with the computer simulators happy.
Proof positive of the links between France and Osama bin Laden, I'd say. In fact this shared viewpoint tends to suggest that Jacques Chirac and Osama Bin Laden are indeed one and the same person! And has anybody noticed that al Qaeda and La France have almost the same number of letters?!?
No wonder that those cheese-eating, surrender monkeys aren't playing ball, "al Qaeda" is actually a cunning cypher for "La France"!
Now we know what Joey Starr was talking about when he said "paris sous les bombes"!
Powell you genius!
be the "Garlic-swathed beignet-stuffed sexually dysfunctional trash-pop Petainist belching Gauloise-smoking hypocritical papist bastard haw-hee-haw Johnny bloody Halliday up-yours-Delors coward monkeys"?
Al Jazeera has just launched their english language pages. I told you they would the last time a video did the rounds last year, I remember quite disctinctly telling you that would mean a good supply of videos.
When I worked in a bookshop of Charing X Road one morning all the shops recieved videos and computer disks with "CIA file Roswell" on them. Very nice labels. Anyway these disks were filled with viruses and did most grevious harm to a days trade on the traditional bookselling street of London. The videos were poor quality snippets of what appeared to be... I bore you.
crazy fool : )
he's basically shit-stirring as far as I can see. The tape could be real but he doesnt like Saddam (see quote) and he just wants to scare the Americans into going to war. Its exactly what he wants and they'll rise to the bait, then it's 'US vs Muslims' and we're all in trouble. But I reckon Osama thinks he can win somehow...
