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.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

The joint Palestinian, internationals, and Israelis of the Anarchists Against The
Wall initiative demonstration started as usual at center of village early afternoon.
As usual, the demonstration had a special feature - this time mirrors on which were
written texts of placards in an inverted mode so when they reflected the Sun light
on any surface, it was seen as the surface became a placard of that text.
As usual, the two hundred participants marched towards the fence building site west
of the village. As usual, slogans and other vocal expressions were expressing the
mood of the marchers. As usual, just at the fringe of the buildings area of the village
there was the line of the army soldiers behind the barbed wire line blocking the road.
Not as usual, this time we reflected placards on the bodies of the soldiers the sun light....
As usual the commander of the reserves army force (that replaced the border police
and special police unit - few weeks ago and behave much less belligerent) warned us
that it is a military closed zone. He said harsh repression will be applied if the
demonstration will continue longer than few minutes.... And the many photographers
had their fun taking pictures of the virtual placards projected on the soldiers.
After a while, the unruly youngsters of the village became restless. (They are not
respecting too much the requests of the village fence struggle comity members to
refrain from stone throwing during our demo.) So, they started to act.
First they threw few eggs on the soldiers in front of the demonstration who responded
with a short assault on the nonviolent demonstration and detaining 8 of us -
3 internationals and 5 Israelis.
After the short assault, we regrouped again in line in front of a line of the soldiers
refusing to give in. So the nonviolent demonstration continued.... while in the olive
orchards on the two sides of the road the attrition battle between the youngsters
and the army continued.
And again, after a lone stone of the youngsters strayed to the demonstration area,
the soldiers used it as an excuse for another assault on the nonviolent demonstration,
but their shock grenades and tear gas failed again to disperse us.
All the time of the demonstration, people "preached" to the reservist army people
against the occupation, against the fence that rob more than half of the Bil'in
village for enlarging the building area of the settlers city Modi'in I'lit.
Some people shamed the soldiers for assaulting nonviolent demonstrators and for
shooting on kids who only throw stones.
After a long while, the commander of the army unit decided to give in. He told us
he will call his force back few meters and did it. At that point we decided to end our
demonstration, and return to center of village, and the arena became the battle ground
between the unruly youngsters and the army.
As usual lately, an hour or so after the demonstration ended most of the people
detained were released and only 3 internationals were taken to police station.
As usual, collected video clips that prove the arrested demonstrators were falsely
accused of violence were taken by comrades to the police station for releasing
the comrades taken there.
During the demonstration, few comrades were lightly injured and one person was
more seriously wounded in her head from a stone thrown by the youngsters from
a near by house roof....
