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.

United for Justice and Love
The One Big Tribe festival for West Papua took place over the Spring Equinox at Maynooth University in Ireland. People came from the USA, England, and the Netherlands especially for the festival and a wide array of nationalities were representated including 7 Papuans, Australians, a New Zealander and some Italians. The diversity of the attendees reflected the mix of ideas and backgrounds of the various visitors - who each brought their own ideas, experience and energies.
The festival began with a ceremonial singing of Irish (Liam O'Maonlai) and Papuan (Sem Karoba) songs in front of a backdrop of the morning star flag. Irish rockers 'The Kitch' got the crowd buzzing with some good old rock and roll and finished with an amazing rendition of Bob Marley's 'redemption song'. Next up was Papuan dancers Sampari who brought the beauty of Papuan culture to life. The growing crowd got into the drumming and chanting and the passion for Papuan freedom was growing by the second. When it was time for Sampari to finish - the crowd demanded more and Sampari were only too happy to reply with a storming version of a Papuan freedom song.
Next up, members of the Latin American Solidarity Centre in Dublin gathered for a set of deep harmonic songs from across the globe providing a perfect introduction and scene setter for Papuan Tribesman to come on stage to tremendous welcome and applause. The crowd was buzzing and one visitor remarked 'with this energy, you all should be linked in to the national grid'. Sem brought the sadness and strength of the Papuan struggle for political, cultural and spiritual freedom to the venue with some of his own (Recently recorded) songs as well as older, more traditional Papuan songs. He was joined on his stage by his friend and fellow warriror, Irish singer Liam O'Maonlai. The spirit of Irish culture and resistance was merged and songs were followed by a mournful silence as news of the U.S bombing of Baghdad arrived.
It was late in the night and everyone was highly charged with the amazing and unique energy of the setting (draped in Papuan flags and icons) and the amazing Hothouse Flowers were the perfect followup to get everyone dancing, celebrating and rejoicing in our solidarity and connectedness. Indeed the crowd was so charged that the music spilled over outside to the carpark when the concert was finished.
Next day, an early and tired start brought dozens of people to a Global Forum for West Papua at Maynooth. All were tired but still in awe at the success of the previous night. Throughout the day, which turned out to be sunny and warm, participants joined in circle formation for talks and idea sharing on West Papua, Women's struggle, Global resistance, and 'ways forward' as well as the sharing of songs, dancing and tears.
Overall, the passion, energy, ideas, awareness and money raised for the West Papuan struggle will form an unstoppable force for peace in Papua as well as an eternal thorn in the side of the Indonesian government. Plans are already in place for followup work, projects and actions.
May Day marks anniversary of Dutch genocide complicity
by WP - WP Mon, Apr 28 2003, 2:58pm
Protest-vigil at Dutch embassy Thursday May 1, 11am-1pm
40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation. Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed. The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands. The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.

40 years ago on May 1st, 1963, the Indonesian flag was raised over West Papua, marking the annexation of West Papua and the brutal suppression of a nation.
Formerly run by the Netherlands and for seven months by the United Nations, the world community turned a blind eye as the West Papuans were sacrificed to the interests of “real-politik” and corporate greed.
The question of West Papua is unfinished business for both the United Nations and the Netherlands.
The Netherlands continues to be silent on the on-going genocide in West Papua, as it seeks to maintain “cordial” political and economic relations with its former colony, Indonesia.
When East Timor was taken over by Indonesia in 1975, its former colonizer, Portugal, spoke out and supported self-determination for East Timor. However, the Netherlands has stayed silent on the question of West Papuan self-determination, and thus, as a central party, is directly complicit in genocide.
West Papua, north of Australia, is the western half of New Guinea island. At least 100,000 West Papuans have been killed since 1963. Some observers have put the figure as high as 300,000.
