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.

It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8You don't tell us what reforms these 'reformists' want to bring about . I also wonder if these 'reformists' are some of the 'reformists' sponsored by the US to foster subversion and undermine the Iranian government?
Could you let us know who specifically these 'reformists' are and what 'reforms' they are trying to bring about. I'm sure that you are not supporting the American agents who are continually fostering intrigue against the Iranian Government. The agents the US are sponsoring with millions of dollars are no doubt a different group from the one you are referring to.
Also, since you are so concerned for the People of Iran and such an expert perhaps you could tell us who the US backed agents are. Surely the legitimate groups you constantly refer to must know who they are. It's just that I can never remember you posting anything, in all your crusade against the Iranian government, that talks negatively about the US backed people.
Former president Mohammad Khtami called on pro-reform movements on Wednesday to wait and see what would be the result of the petitions filed for reconsidering the competence of the rejected parliamentary candidates by the vetting bodies.
"Like all the existing political movements, we want to actively participate in the political arena of the country and no one can prevent us from doing so,” he asserted. “But our presence in the election without having any candidates does not make sense".
Emphasizing the determination of the pro-reform movements to stand in the legislative elections, the former president said many of the rejected candidates should be allowed to run.
Perhaps you could answer the question about who these 'reformists' are and what specifically are the 'reforms' they are seeking to bring about. Surely that is a simple request of somone speaking on their behalf. Are you really supporting them? If you are then you should have no problem expanding your 'Ironic' article to answer the obvious questions of any politically motivated reader.
Or is it that you are simply publishing anything that is against the Iranian Government without understanding or caring what exactly it is? Without knowing who the reformists are or what they are agitating for?
The true left should wake up to the brutal realities of grave abuses of human rights by Islamic elite and capitalist leaders and classes; such as in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Malaysia and Indonesia, as amongst many nations with Islamic leaders. I've been an active member of the Irish Anti-War movement for a few years and still is, but I will not be uncritical anymore towards such human rights abuses in order to prevent war towards Iran. The reality of the abuses are real enough especially for the ordinary masses, Islamic or otherwise, living under such oppressed regimes. It's definitely about Capitalism mainly and how religion, race i.e the so-called "Muslim race" and ultra-nationalism ie. the so-called united "Muslim nationhood/Islamic World" have been constructed ideologically and practically and very conveniently by the elite and capitalist classes including Islamic ones, especially after the Iraq War to divide and rule. Right now I'm back in Malaysia and seeing the brutality of the Islamic elite-capitalist leaders and classes whether from the ruling and dominant party UMNO or the Islamic opposition party, PAS using the Malay race, Islam and "Malay-Islamic nationhood" to divide and rule between different ethnic groups and religion in order to sustain their unjust power and system; finally woke me up. Imagine the extreme brutality that others are facing including Islamic women, in brutal regimes like Iran, Sudan, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are facing; such as in Iran, the stoning of women for adultery or common enough honor killings from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan. Thus, western left especially must understand, despite of the real enough propagandas by the capitalist masters of US-UK, any form of human rights abuses by any capitalist and elite classes anywhere including by Islamic ones must be condemned as equally. That's what true justice is about after all.
"Noor Aza Othman"
Aren't you in police custody? Malaysian police stations must be very accommodating if they allow you Internet access whilst in their custody.
This is impersonation if ever there was. And what is truely repulsive is that the name used is that of a respected activist who is currently under arrest and facing prison in Malaysia.
Disgusting.

Kal-El, Obviously you haven't read carefully my emails. I was arrested and jailed for one night with 7 other human rights activists for defending free speech and freedom of assembly during peaceful protest on the International Human Rights Day in Malaysia. We are currently on bail and supposed to be charged in a trial on 28/01/08 but the trial now postpone to 05/01/08 for supposedly attending illegal assembly and obstructing police. Police have absolute discretion whether to allow any permits for any protest and usually any protest that criticizes govt. are banned. The ones detained under the extremely unjust Internal Security Act (ISA) that allows dtention without trial, are five human rights activists and leaders from HINDRAF defending ethnic Indian human rights, due to the discrimination, fascism and racism being practised by Islamic leaders from the ruling and dominant capitalist-elite Malay-Islamic classes and leaders using race, Islam and ultra-nationalism of "Malay-Muslim nationhood' to crush human rights and democracy; whilst brainwashing the dominant Malay-Islamic ethnic group masses!!!!! And by the way, I'm trying to reform Islam especially on women's rights; any problem with that?
In regards to my writing just before, sorry, the new date for our trial is postpone to 05/05/08, in May. thanks.
Its quite obvious that you haven't got a clue about what you are writing.
The reformists who have been banned from standing are largely supporters of 2 previous Iranian presidents, Mohammad Khatami and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani . Only a very stupid/ignorant person would suggest that they have links with the US or are funded by them. If there were any such US agents among those disbarred dont you think the current Iranian Government would be shouting it from the rooftops? I suggest you do some research next unless you want to keep making a fool of yourself in public.
I will expose another of your lies. I am on the rcord here on Indymedia condemning the PMOI which is backed by the US.
As for the rest your ramblings I need only point out that I support strikers, students and womens rights activists in Iran who are fighting for basic human rights.
