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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Thanks for that. I was writing the following article when the gremlins struck. Better late than never I suppose:-
An ultra-rich businessman with right-wing political connections is attempting to destroy an Indymedia site by launching a massive lawsuit.
The basic facts:-
The businessman, Geert Vroman, was on a hunting safari which is reported to cost about ten thousand Euro. He proudly took part in a mainstream TV program, but is now suing Antwerp Indymedia because, he claims, his privacy is being interfered with!
This issue has arisen as a result of a television program called "Hunted Wild" on Telefacts Reportage (Flemish Radio and Television) which was broadcast in April. Yet the businessman is not suing the television station, he has chosen to go after the Antwerp Indymedia website and is seeking obscenely excessive damages because of an article a woman wrote about the program. Inge Boey, a housewife from Hemiksem, was disgusted with what she saw in the program so she launched a petition and included the email address of Mr Vroman's business. He and his business were already well-known and relatively easy to find.
Vroman is demanding 10,000 Euros per hour damages while Inge Boey's article remains on the site.
Antwerp Indymedia are refusing to remove the article and point out that if Mr Vroman was concerned with privacy he would not have taken part in a primetime television program.
The English language version of the Antwerp Indymedia Statement is at
http://antwerpen.indymedia.org/news/2008/05/15263.php
It is a very rough translation but is understandable
So Basically, Indy Antwerp stalked the man by giving his particulars out. Reverse that, would you like some fascist group having your address and contact information?
You would be screaming like the Banshee if the roles were reversed.
The link provided says that indymedia antwerp doesn't mention the private data of the businessman only the address of his business which was already well known.
That is an excellent article on UK Indymedia linked to above. It seems a pity that indymedia Ireland doesn't have anybody to write such a report. .The indymedia collective in Antwerp – a city that has been described as the racist capital of Europe - has done invaluable work countering the racist and Islamophobic campaigns orchestrated by the right wing Vlaams movement in Belgium and the Vlaams Belang party which insists that people of non-Flemish ethnic backgrounds must assimilate Flemish culture.
The attempt to suppress indymedia Antwerp must be seen in the context of the recent rapid growth of Europe’s far-right, xenophobic parties ,linked through the Identity, Tradition, Sovereignty (ITS) movement which now has 20 meps in the European Parliament . With the success of the Northern League in Italy two weeks ago and the ousting of London’s left leaning mayor last week , Europe is clearly heading in a rightwing direction .
Silvio Berlusconi has announced that he plans to appoint a member of the far-Right to his cabinet , Roberto Calderoli, a senior member of the Northern League, who two years ago appeared on television wearing a T-shirt printed with one of the Danish cartoons featuring the Prophet Mohammed.
I hope the author of the UK indymedia report continues to investigate any links between this attempt to close Indymedia Antwerp and the politics of the Vlaams movement .
We still haven't heard what the verdict is. You'll find out tonight at the IMC UK thread. Which if you read you'll understand why Vroman's lawyers has gone for full publicity in claiming 10,000 an hour - coz it's not about IMC Antwerp it's about the family of mr Paulus and the politics of Flemish Belgium. IMC Antwerp is just a pawn. like most of them.
