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.

There?s a Reason Britain?s in the Doldrums ? but We Don?t Talk About It Mon Dec 08, 2025 15:00 | Richard Eldred
Britain's Covid hangover is why schools, courts and the NHS are a mess, says Josh Glancy in the Sunday Times. The pandemic showed we're way too vulnerable to shocks and way too hooked on playing it safe.

The Ritual Humiliation of Airport Security Mon Dec 08, 2025 07:00 | Dr Thomas Crew

I am joking of course, but seriuous in wishing you to realize that such "solutions" such as the one proposed above always look more appealing when applied to people other than oneself.
Surely the former enemies will be able to live together.
Come on, people!
There couldn't be one state for 2 nations. Not under democrathy. Under totalitrism - yes. See former Yoguslavia. how well they handled together under communism, and how bad they dealed as soon as it ended.
See former Czechoslovakia. they splited very fast (in a peacful way) as soon as communism was over.
see Lebanon. is that what u want?
No one wants one state for all. not Israelis nor Palestinians.
Or, the Zionists can end thier bloodsoaked crusade, get out of all of Palestine, and never torment the Palestinians again. And if the Palestinians want to form a democracy to govern thier homeland after thier homeland is liberated from the murderous thieving ZIonist crusaders, then that is thier business, and nobody elses.
"former enemies"??? got your blinders on, do you? ZIonists are still 4 generations of murderous thieves who are still occupying the Palestinian's homeland and still stealing more and more Palestinian lands and do not hesitate to MURDER the Palestinians who resist. That makes the Zionist crusaders curent enemies of the Palestinians. Just as Nazis occupying thier enighbor's homelands made them enemies of thier neighbors.
And interloaper appeasment and support of the ZIonist's bloodsoaked crusade by western power brokers doesn't change a damned thing. ZIonism is murderous theft, with appeasment. The murderous thieving ZIonist crusaders have no business being in Palestine at all. Even if you are so prejudiced as to think ZIonists do have a "birthright" of murderous theft of Palestinian lands.
some jewish boy pushed u at school when u were little?
ur teacher forced u to study about the holocaust instead of playing football?
ur mother didn't like u enough?
ur jewish brother in law is an ars-hole?
what?
split it up, troll.
tell us about ur problems, what makes u hate so much.
It is always someone else's prejudices, isn't it. Is it never your's?
Always attacking the messanger, rather than the message. But that is understandable. You CAN"T attack the message. ZIonists have NO "birthright" of murderous theft of Palestinian lands. if they did, you would have told it to us by now. But you run away from the real world issues, and retreat into demensia. pathetic. Oh well, at lest you showcased how little you have to say. Thanks for making your rant so prejudiced and vacant of substance. It makes this so easy.
I do not hate Jews. I hate murderous thieves. I hate institutional injustices.
If you hate nazis because they are German, then you are prejudiced. Hating Nazis because the Nazis were also murderous thieves is not prejudiced, but an informed position to take.
If you hate Zionist crusaders because they are Jews, then you are prejudiced. But, in addition to ZIonist crusaders being Jews, Zionist crusaders are 4 generations of murderous thieves, who have never stopped stealing palestinian lands and who have never hesitated to MURDER the Palestinians who resist (or are just in the wrong place, as defined by the murderouas thieving Zionist crusaders). If you do not hate the murderous thieving ZIonist crusaders just because they are Jews, and compleatly ignore that they are also murderous thieves, then the prejudice is on your side of the table.
But as long as you enabler types keep pushing the Zionist's alleged "birthright" of murderous theft, and scapegoating the Palestinian victims of the ZIonist's continuing, never ending offenses, then ZIonists are not going to think twice about gunning down more little Palestinian kids. ZIonists do NOT have ANY "birthright" of murderous theft of ANY portion of the Palestinian's homeland. If they did have such a "birthright" we would have heard it by now.
But you keep scapegoating others as you keep pushing your idea that Zionists being Jews gives them a "birthright" of murderous theft. I'm sure that there are people who will buy into your delusions.
When Palestinians mean by the "destruction of the State of Israel" they mean just that
- they want all the six million plus Israelis to get out and the return of millions of their own people to take their place.
I support the existence of a Palestinian state comprising of Gaza and the West Bank with Jerusalem shared between Israelis and the Palestinians and dismantlement of the Jewish settlements - that is exactly what Ehud Barak promised in 2000 before Yasser Arafat rejected this plan sparking the current intifada.
Now Ariel Sharon has recognised the wisdom of this plan- he has pushed for the end of the Jewish settlements the withdrawl from the West Bank and Gaza and the erection of the security wall to defend the state of Israel from destruction.
While the Palestinians continue to use terror and advocate the end of Israel - no peace can exist.
Hopefully the new leaders of the PA will change their approach and wrestle control away from the Islamic extremeists by what ever means necessary
What Palestinians need is democracy and freedom before they can begin the revival of their economy- this is impossible while their country is in the grip of Islamic extremism and terrorists.
I hope one day the states of Israel and Palestine can live side by side in peace.
But this can not come about while other states such as Syria and Saudi Arabia continue to fund terrorist organisations and Iran's mullahs threaten to attack with nuclear weapons.
The single state solution is a delusion.
I dont want to bore everyone with the wealth of evidence that what has been suggested by RP is exactly not what was 'promised' by Barak .
RP could nt give a shit about a viable Palestinian state as his/her ignorant support for a wall which deliberately violates the territory of such a state clearly demonstrates
the wall like the occupation is illegal and it is the contemptuous disregard by the US of international law which has stopped the creation of a two state solution accepted by Arafat
How can Palestine be liberated if the Zionist crusaders do not get out? Zionists and thier enablers promote Vichi Palestine, not peace. And why do so many people say that the liberation of palestine would be bad because the murderous thieving ZIonist crusaders would have to leave?
Tell us why the Zionist crusaders have a right to stay.
