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.

US torture children at Guantanamo
by James McKenna Sat, May 24 2003, 6:38am

'juvenile enemy combatants'
It has been admitted that a number of children are being held in Guantanamo bay torture and concentration .
Boys as young as 13 are being held in the US interrogation centre and concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. Col Adolph(!) McQueen, head of the Joint Detention Operation Group says they are dangerous "juvenile enemy combatants" and while special care is being taken with them, they are none the less "dangerous enemy terrorists".
The prison is run by using reservists from the US who are teachers, students etc in everyday life. Female wardens have been heard taunting prisoners. The wardens keep their name tags covered because of fear of recognition or retaliation - paranoid or what? Do they think the Afghan Boy Scouts are going to retaliate?
Maj Gen Geoffrey Miller, says only that the boys "have both information of value to the United States and are threats to this nation". We'll be looking forward to this information when it is finally "extracted" from these children. It will make it the first piece of information about "terrorism" discovered by torture in Guantanamo.
America the proud, you have to love it!

Maybe the reason it hasn't worked is that, Al'Quida is a terrorist organisation which uses the standard terrorist cells to orperate, therefore if one guy from one cell is captured, you still don't know what the next cell is trying. Over the last 18 months, the non-captured cells have been able to operate wihtout having to be worried of being foiled in their attacks. The other point is, if you wanna know why you claim there is no- info being gathered, it could be that they haven't released the info. The decision to release info has to be decided on whether it is acceptable to be release it. By allowing the terrorists know that they are being watched, they could do something they had planned as an alternative and also by allowing them to get closer to the operation they have planned the greater the chance you can get more of the higher ecehlons of the organisation.
With regards to the 600 people in Guantanamo Bay, I would doubt if everyone of em was innocent. Noone and I do mean NOONE is going to admit that they are members of a terrorist organisation like the 'base'.
The treatment they are receiving is effective, it works, and quite frankly it is better than the treatment you'd experience at the hands of these terrorist organisations, just ask the IRA!
Why is anyone stupid enough to team up with American forces these days. You'll only wind up dead, as too many British soldiers found out in Iraq.
KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. soldiers shot and killed three Afghan security men and wounded their commander outside the U.S. embassy in Kabul on Wednesday, Afghan security officials said.
The U.S. soldiers guarding the heavily fortified embassy opened fire when they spotted the Afghans moving weapons from a compound opposite the embassy, the officials near the scene said. They described the incident as "a misunderstanding."
