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.

end the war
the whole war
the rabbi was an armed settler leader who was notorious for his calls for the expulsion of palestinians from the occupied territories. he also led attacks on palestinian communities.
this surgical strike by the palestinian resistance was against a combatant.
I don't derive any pleasure from the death of any human being, but the so called "settlers" on the West Bank and Gaza are NOT CIVILIANS, they are heavily armed and are among the most extreme, racist and fundamentalist section of Israeli society. Many Israelis dislike them almost as much as the Palestinian people. If they were not attempting to colonise Palestinian land and were back home, they would be in no danger of losing their lives.
The rabbi had eight children and he was known for his great love for music and his playing of the flute enchanted many people.Your pleasure of seeing Jews butchered is disgusting.
This murder is not a revenge.This method of shooting at cars with an Israeli license plates
is a common occurrence for the last two years.Today four Israelis, including a child, were murdered in two shooting attacks south of the West Bank city of Hebron. Three of the dead were from the same family.
The military wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, the Al Aqsa Martyrs` Brigades, claimed responsibility for the two attacks.
According to preliminary reports, the gunmen opened fire at an Israeli vehicle when it reached the Zif Junction. This vehicle was carrying a family from Psagot, on their way to visit relatives in the area. Three of the passengers, including a child, were killed and another person was injured.
The gunmen then returned to their vehicle and continued on their way until they opened fire on another automobile, near to the Carmel settlement, which is located about 3 kilomters south of the Ziv Junction. In this attack,another Jew was murdered , and two others wounded.
Your "brave" Palestinians terrorists wait for cars with Israeli license plates and then shoot without mercy at the unsuspecting travellers.
Israeli Arabs were also murdered in the same way,because their cars had an Israeli license plate.In Mar 26, 2002 - Major Cengiz Soytunc of Turkey and Catherine Berruex of Switzerland, members of the TIPH observer force in Hebron, were murdered in an ambush shooting by a Palestinian gunman near Halhul.
It's sad to see that people like you are cheerful when people are murdered.
I don't think you really want this tragedy to end .You just enjoy seeing Jewish blood spilled.
If the Palestinians were not attempting to murder Jews and were back home,building their country and cultivating their soil , they would be in no danger of losing their lives,Israeli forces would have no reason to invade their cities in search of terrorist,they would be able to come to work in Israel ,and negotiations for a Palestinian state would continue.
You are in dire need of a history lesson. The Palestinian people are in their own country. The foreigners are the Zionist racists. The resistance of the Palestinian people to the Zionist colonisation of their country is fully justified.
Pat, you're a sick fu#k...some old religious leader being murdered by a bunch of cowardly scum..."commandoes"?? you're joking...they don't have the props to go up against the IDF.
your moronical ravings remind me of provo propaganda...I'll bet you support those murdering bastards too.
I am afraid that your ravings disgust me, to attempt to defend the murders of young children, including a baby is DISGUSTING. The so called settlers are NOT civilians, they are foreigners who are attempting to colonise Palestinian land.
The fact that Palestinians resist being ethnically cleansed should not surprise anyone except the brain dead. I very much regret the death of the young child who was killed in the attack by the Palestinian resistance, that child could not possibly be held responsible for the actions of his/her parents.
rob,
this was a 43 year old armed settler leader who had led attacks against palestinian civilians.
yes the palestinians don't have tanks or attack helicopters or F16s but they've still killed a lot of idf members.
i am proud of my support for the palestinian resistance.
i do criticse the killing of a child though. children are never legitimate targets.
as for the provos - i have many & had many criticisms of them. some of their actions were so reckless they have to be condemned. in particular: la mon, shankill rd, enniskillen etc. who ever carried out these attacks must have known that civilian casulties were inevitable.
i do however see the difference between the violence of the oppressed & that of the oppressor.
