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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Sean,stop pretending to be from Canada,you spook!Everybody knows you are a propagandist who get paid by the IDF to spam these newsvires.We are on to you.We have been for quite some time!
I encourage everybody to look at who has written the article.Notice that they are allways called "sean" or "jake" or "rose".Allways short names and never a last name.
This means that they are all done by the same person.The son of a bitch who is spamming all the newswire with this zionist propaganda crap!
Yes,save indymedia.Save it from this annoying fuckhead!
http://alberta.indymedia.org/news/2002/07/4047.php
Dude,just because he spam the Canadian indymedia too,doesnt mean he is from Canada.He posts articles on ALL indymedia sites.
Ethnic cleansing, extra-judical killings, massacres of civilians, detention without trial, torture and sexual abuse of detainees. I think you should go and see a shrink, you have got rather serious problems.
Seriously, cheers to all those working on this site. Just a quick comment saying thanks for the graft and an equally quick shame on those posting rubbish on the wire, which by the way is probaly totally ineffective in garnishing support for yier arguments. and just to confirm that in dont work on the site...
whether this person is a propagandist or not appears to be in dispute so i'll leave that to others, as i don't know who he is. however leaving that aside, he does make a good point, why are the brutal middle eastern regimes mentioned not being pulled up by this site and others, or at least there is very little coverage. is it because palestine-israel is in vogue at the moment? i don't mean to be too critical or cast any doubt on the genuine concern people have. i feel very strongly about the israeli attrocities being carried out and fully support the palestinian cause, but at a march to the jewish embassy earlier this year, among the pro palestinian chants( which i fully agree with and chanted too ) there were pro arafat chants. i have to say i did not and will not join such chants. arafat is a corrupt and brutal power monger and he and his plo organisation enjoy very little support in the refugee camps of the illegally occupied territories. that is not to say i agree with the us solution of replacing him wity a pro american puppet. the palestinian people deserve to be allowed to democratically chose their own leader, and i'm afraid that if the plo continue is as they are now, there will be more intimidation and jailing of political opponents and supression of opposition in general. arafat will win of course but will he really be the choice of the palestinian people?
I fully support the cause of the Palestinian people for self determination. My support is not an endorsement of any other Government in the region.
I have to say this site has litle in terms of quality debate in it. Instead of looking at or discussing facts most posters on this site tend to vomit out the most uneducated rant in replacement of genuine dabate. For example the first poster on this page puts forward a valid argument "why when there are humen rights atrocities being comited all over the Arab world do the posters on these sites concentrate solely on Isreals record". I fully agree that the oppresion of the palistinian people is unacceptable and that Americas continued support for Sharons murderous policies is proof that the myth of America being the leading fighter for freedom and democrasy is crap. But hey it goes on in puppet governments all over the midle east. How about we take a look at them for a change. While obviously not forgetting the crimes that are being commited in the occupied regions. Who are these wannabe intelectuals that keep on replying to fair and honost arguments with soundbites that they get out of websites. Can you not formulate an argument? Is it simply that your brains havent evolved enough to put maybe some facts or figures to back up your (on a lot of occasions truthful) arguments instead of lashing out with insults like a cornered child when hes been outreasoned? No doubt ill get a berrage of messages from the very people that think "all Isrealies are scum" is a effective means of forwarding your borrowed opinions. Please, your unrational rants are only serving to give people who study and understand whats happening in the Isreal-Palistine conflict an image of people who base their opinions on soundbites and headlines (they wont even read the stories).
Alright then.
Has anyone given any thought as to how the conflict there might be resolved. It is all to clear that there is no military solution to the conflict, except for the complete annihilation of one side by the other. One could argue that what the Israeli authorities are doing is a slow, gradual extermination - a few settlements here, carve up some land there, withhold taxes, cripple the economy - as effective in the long run. There are definitely sections of Palestinian society who want nothing less than to push Israel into the sea. Is the situation intractable?
Thoughts
The conflict can only be resolved when enough pressure is put on the Zionists to withdraw from all occupied land and all "SETTLEMENTS" are dismantled and a viable Palestinian state is established. Given the policies of Washington and Sharon, that goal is a long way down the road.
Israel is not democratic - 4 million people under its control are denied self-determination because of their race and their religion.
Israel is not a friend of truth - their propaganda departments at home and in the US cynicaly and deliberately manipulate public opinion on a massive scale.
Israel willingly embraces war in return for 'living space' ("Lebensraum"), and knowingly, cynicaly violates article 4 of the Geneva convention in doing so.
Israel accepts ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, shoot-on-sight curfews, infrastructure destruction, etc., etc, as part of its ordinary, everyday political discourse.
Israel cynicaly manipulates the jewish religion to defend and even promote war crimes, without any regard for the sanctity of faith. Israel hides behind Judasim.
Israel, from whom did you learn to behave like this? Who is it that you emulate? Who's ideology have you inherited? Who made you what you have become?
I think you, of all nations, know what it is that you have become...
I think we all know whose example the Zionists are following, the NAZIS. The policies of the Sharon Regime are strikingly similar to those of Adolf, i.e. ethnic cleansing, collective punishment, massacres of civilians, an apartheid style style society. Ironic in the extreme, given the Nazi campaign of racial genocide directed against the Jewish people in Europe during the second world war.
