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.

We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Also the timing is very suspect considering the US/UK invading forces are by all accounts facing much tougher resistance from the Iraqis than they expected. Don't forget the first casualty of war is the truth.
Of course it's much to premature to make any judgement on this situation (not that it's my place to do so) especially since we have so little information at present.
I am fearful that there will be an all out civil war in Iraq though whch will be won by the strongest most ruthless army or else suppressed in such a way as to hand victory to whichever side finds the favour of the "coalition"
Just read on BBC online that the info is coming from "British Army Intelligence" ie the same people who killed Pat Finucane,Rosemary Nelson and hundreds of other Irish people so it could be some dodgy plan, but who the hell knows whats going on.
Why baths?, baths are stationary objects, just because you have a phobia about baths.
anyway,
rte has reported that the brits claim that they fired artillery at iraqi mortar positions. these mortar positions were in turn firing at a 'large group of people who had gathered outside ba'ath party hq'.
maybe i'm being overly cynical, but maybe brits actually shelled a large group of people and are trying to claim that iraqis did it? hence the story about the uprising? also, the markets have reacted positively to the news of the uprising (reuters business news)
"A revolt is taking place in Basra," Mohammad Hadi, spokesman of the Iran-based Supreme Assembly for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (ASRII), told AFP. "We have no more details for the moment."
but aren't the ASRII on the US's side in this war - i mean aren't they part of the 'Iraqi Opposition'?
Maubere, get over your Brit-hate. You're living in the past.
Hopefully now the ordinary decent mass of the Irish people - "The silent majority" will follow the example of the brave people of Basra and rise up against all you liberal, left-wing apologists for the Iraqi terrorist regime and put you in prison where you belong. "No free speech for traitors!"
Declan: could you tell me why the murder of Pat Finucane should be ignored? Is his life somehow worthless, if people say Saddam has murdered 500,000 Iraqis would you tell them to stop living in the past? I have this bizaare notion that all crimes should be exposed, you obviosly don't think so,
Avi: the "silent majority" in Ireland are against the war because thay know its about oil, you just can't handle the fact that you're in the minority. The only people who have apologised for Saddam in the past are the crooks who are in the White House now! During the 1980s they were good mates with the evil dictator, doesn't that make them evil too. If Bush and Blair are so good why do they support evil regimes in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Indonesia, Colombia etc. Theres a slight chance that the Iraqi people may be able to get some control of their country post war, if they do it won't be because Bush wants it, he only wants to control the oil.
to see avi h actually appear to support what may be muslims in a popular uprising.
course if he was at home he'd want someone to 'do a saddam' and have them all shot, or worse.
avi is basically a nazi who feels that Sharon is 'showing restraint' in dealing with the palestian crisis.
Aljazeera was reporting before its website was hacked that the uprising was actually against the British , and that British forces were firing into the crowd
