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. The Saker >>

Estat Català. The unitary act the 80th Anniversary of The Prats de Molló Events.
SPEECH BY ESTAT CATALÀ IN THE UNITARY ACT COMMEMORATING THE 80th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRATS DE MOLLÓ EVENTS. 22 OF OCTOBER OF 2006
---------------------------------- PARLAMENT D’ESTAT CATALÀ EN L’ACTE UNITARI DEL
80è ANIVERSARI DEL FETS DE PRATS DE MOLLÓ
22 D’OCTUBRE DE 2006
Llegiré un extracte de la declaració que en Francesc Macià havia de llegir quan hagués declarat la independència :
A LES NACIONS LLIURES DEL MÓN, SALUT !
És Catalunya la que avui us saludem, nacions lliures del món, en el moment d'aixecar-se en armes en defensa del seu dret imprescriptible de governar-se ella mateixa.
^.....
Volem Catalunya per als catalans!
Volem una cultura moderna per als nostres infants, per als nostres obrers i per a les nostres escoles superiors.
Volem el màxim de millorament per al nostre proletariat.
Volem administrar nosaltres mateixos les nostres riqueses nacionals, en una República Catalana independent.
Que sàpiga tot el món que no estem animats d'un esperit d'odi contra la resta de la Península ibèrica, ni tampoc per un esperit d'imperialisme i de conquesta. Ens consideraríem sortosos, una vegada lliures, d'ajudar els altres pobles d'Espanya que pateixen sota el mateix règim de reacció, per tal que ells també n'esdevinguessin.
Volem trencar les cadenes que ens endogalen amb ells per la força i reemplaçar-les pels lligams lliures i fraternals que ens permetin de treballar junts per la pau internacional. Car és per aquesta pau internacional per la que, en darrera anàlisi, ens aixequem en armes.
I és a vosaltres, pobles lliures de tot el món, a qui adrecem, els primers, la salutació i el nostre crit d'angoixa, demanant-vos de reconèixer el nostre dret d'esdevenir lliures. Ho fem amb l'esperança i la fe en la llibertat i la justícia, aquest principi fonamental de Dret internacional per la cooperació, no forçada, sinó lliure i cordial de tots els pobles i per la igualtat civil, contra tot privilegi i tota tirania. Tenim el convenciment que no serà assegurada la pau d'Europa mentre la força dels exèrcits sostingui exclusivament l'imperialisme i no siguin assegurats els drets de les nacions petites a disposar lliurement d'elles mateixes.
Pel dret dels pobles i dels homes!
Per la pau internacional!
Salut!
Francesc Macià, Prats de Molló 1926.
Avui vuítanta anys després, segueix sent totalment vigent aquesta declaració que tenien preparada els voluntaris catalans encapçalats per Francesc Macià.
Per desgràcia, encara avui som un poble sotmès i sense llibertat!
És avui i aquí en la conmemoració d’ aquest 80è aniversari que les dones i homes d’Estat Català volem manifestar que ens mantenim fidels en la lluita per la independència de Catalunya .
Volem retre homenatge a totes i tots els lluitadors catalans que han patit repressió i molt especialment als qui han perdut la vida lluitant per la llibertat del nostre poble.
Volem recordar en aquest 80è aniversari, molt especialment, al patriota català Salvador Galobardes i Fuentes que formà part de l’expedició de Prats de Molló amb Francesc Macià, va ser empresonat i expulsat de França junt amb la resta dels voluntaris, va lluitar després en defensa de Catalunya contra el feixisme i morí en un camp d’extermini nazi junt amb 56 militants més d’ Estat Català.
Que la seva experiència i sacrifici ens serveixi d’exemple per no defallir en la lluita per la independencia de Catalunya.
Moltes gràcies!

SPEECH BY ESTAT CATALÀ IN THE UNITARY ACT COMMEMORATING THE 80th ANNIVERSARY OF THE PRATS DE MOLLÓ EVENTS
22 OF OCTOBER OF 2006
I will read a summary of the statement that Francesc Macià was about to read after pronouncing the independence:
TO THE FREE NATIONS OF THE WORLD, GREETINGS!
Is Catalonia the one that today is greeting you, free nations of the world, at the time of rousing up in arms to defend its imprescriptibly right to be governed by itself.
^….
We want Catalonia for all Catalan people!
We want a modern culture for our children, for our workers and for our higher education.
We want the utmost improved conditions for our proletarian.
We want to manage ourselves our national wealth, in an independent Catalan Republic.
Be it known around the world that we are not guided by a feeling of hate against the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, neither by a feeling of imperialism and conquest. After being free, we would be lucky to help the other peoples in Spain that suffer under the same regime of reaction, so as to finally manage to get them free.
We want to throw off the chains that subdue us by force together with them and replace these chains with free and brotherly ties that allow us to work together for international peace. Because it is for this international peace that, as a last resort, we are rousing up in arms.
And it is to you, free peoples around the world, that we are addressing in first place, the greetings and our scream of anguish, asking you to recognize our right to become free. We are doing it full of hope and faith in freedom and justice, this basic principle of the international law for the cooperation, not forced, but free and friendly, of all the peoples for civil equality, against any privilege and tyranny. We are convinced that peace in Europe will not be guaranteed while the force of armies is exclusively supporting imperialism and while the rights of small nations to act by themselves is not guaranteed.
For the right of peoples and humankind!
For international peace!
Greetings!
Francesc Macià, Prats de Molló 1926.
Nowadays, 80 years later, this statement held by the Catalan volunteers leaded by Francesc Macià, is still fully in force.
Unfortunately, today we are still a subjugated people, a people lacking in freedom!
It is today and here, commemorating this 80th anniversary, that we, women and men from Estat Català, are willing to state that we remain faithful to the struggle for the independence of Catalonia.
We want to homage all Catalan fighters that suffered repression, especially those who lost their lives fighting for the freedom of our people.
In this 80th anniversary, we want to have a very special memory for Catalan patriot Salvador Galobardes i Fuentes who took part with Francesc Macià in the Prats de Molló expedition; he was imprisoned and thrown up to France together with the other volunteers, later he fighted to defend Catalonia against fascism and died in a Nazi extermination camp together with other 56 members of Estat Català.
That his experience and his sacrifice be an example for us so as not to become disheartened in the struggle for the independence of Catalonia.
Thank you!

Jump To Comment: 2 1Catalonia held its parliamentary elections on November 1.
Just over 5 million people were entitled to vote. I am one of the other 3 million who are not allowed that right but must bear the duty of taxation, which is a bit galling more over when I sit on local community consultation groups & belong to the tiny minority of "foreigners" who speaks & works in both Catalan & Castillian languages.
Of those approx 5 million just 56.77% bothered to cast a ballot.
And the results were pretty much the same as last time. But one new party contested the elections "cuitadans". & to everyones' surprise they won 3 seats (all in Barcelona). Their basic party line is anti-nationalism in the words of their leader (a 30 something lawyer) on election night :- "We want a society where it doesn't matter which official language you speak, and where you can be both Catalan and Spanish & no-one call you a fascist".
I doubt they're a political force which make much of a mark - but their entry to the Parliament has certainly made a point. One which was rubbed in by ERC (The republican independence party) losing 2 seats. Interestingly the best of the lot ICV-EaU (the greenie marxist catalan but spanish republicans) increased their share of the vote taking 9 seats.
Katalalalalanders in Ireland can read about it all here :-

No mention of the disposessed, the Andaluz workers, the Maghrebin workers, Jews, Albanians and other central and eastern Europeans, all living in shit at the service of the Catalan bourgeoisie. Not to mention the situation of the Gitanos, all of whom have contributed to Catalunya's beauty and riches but who are sniffed at because they are not 'catalan' . What we have here is just nineteenth century chauvinistic nationalistic nonsense which holds that Catalans have a monopoly on suffering and that statehood will solve all ills. A recipe for disaster which smacks of national-socialism. Luckily this group is insignificant politically.
