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.

BGLT not LGBT.
can't someone explain why the "Lesbian" always goes in front of the "Gay" and the "Bisexual" always goes in front of the "T" which is taken to mean both "Transvestite" and "Transexual"?
is that a chivalrous gentlemanly thing?
oh yes, dear, you go through that door first, it's lovely to hold it open for you.................................????????
or perhaps it was a laliophobic phenomona of the post Stonewall generation who couldn't get their tongues around saying "BGLTvTs" at top speed, and settled for "LGBT" instead?
or maybe the sapphics were considered scarier & thus put in the front ranks?
( no offence meant - we are all descended from a lesbian )
it flows off the tongue easier. llll ggg bbb tttt is easier to pronounce than gggg lllll bbb tttt. hard g followed by soft l almost results in a glottal stop as in the !Xhosa language, but can be managable if followed immediately by a vowel as in glottal or GLEN (Gay & Lesbian Equality Network).
the other combinations also have flow problems.
I suggest you consult Chomsky if you wish to discuss this further.
no need to bring Chomsky into it. I suggested it might be laliophobia or some such associated aphasia or merely as you have countered "elocutory ease".
But! (big but this) most people don't pronounce the acronym. I have never heard someone say "LGBT" and I assure you it is just as difficult to pronounce as "BLGT". Each consonant requiring vocalisation.
Rather people use the acronym when writing. Now as one of those splendidly cultured individuals whose eccentricities harken back to a far gone time, I can touch type. That means I don't have to look or visually perceive the keys on my computer's "teclador". After running some non-scientific experiments (on myself), I have concluded that it is marginally more difficult to type LGBT than BGLT for the simple reason that the left hand most see one digit used twice or recourse made to the left thumb.
As for full vocal enunciation of the phrase "Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans" as it is most typically uttered, I am not convinced it "trips" off the tongue easier than "gay lesbian bisexual trans". But I will concede that beginning the phrase with "bisexual" tempts the public speaker to elide the dypthong "ual" with the "l" of Lesbian.
you at least know what a fnord is Pat C & how many of them there are to be ignored.
;-) have a good day.
"I have never heard someone say "LGBT" and I assure you it is just as difficult to pronounce as "BLGT""
But if you never heard someone say LGBT then how would assess the ease or difficulty of its pronunciation.
Anyway, good Pride Parade 2day. I got to do my superman act stopping a mercedes that was trying to drive into the Parade. No more cars!
sorry I had to miss this years, damn work! any photos?
I personally hate this Pride Parade, I find it such an embarassment to see people with little or hardly any clothes on parading down O'Connell Street in broad daylight about how fu_kin great they are and how much they love themselves and it also gives a very bad impression of Ireland to tourists. I saw the Parade once and I was mortified! I personally couldn't careless whether people are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual mar sin de, I mean it's not as if I'm going to fu_k everyone I meet, yet some people have this compulsion if they are gay, lesbian, whatever your having yourself, in telling their friends, making them feel uncomfortable, when it's really nobody's business but their own. People should keep this class of a thing to themselves and if they feel this compulsion to show-off and parade themselves they should hold the Parade very late at night.
Slán anois!
I am gay and I hate the Pride Parades... Somehow they have devolved into this endless display of flesh and flamboyance and crassness. In the US, we are treated like freaks, because well.... most of us act like freaks and the Pride Parades are a case in point.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not some frigid, icy, closet case... but I am just offended by guys running around flashing their dicks at one another. What the hell? Unfortunately, this is what the mainstream sees and they think that all gays are freaks.
Is it any wonder the Gay Marriage ban was upheld in WA state? ANd in New York?
