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.

...toss him a condom.
Catholic professor of history at Vienna University, Friedrich Heer, admitted: “In the cold facts of German history, the Cross and the swastika came ever closer together, until the swastika proclaimed the message of victory from the towers of German cathedrals, swastika flags appeared round altars and Catholic and Protestant theologians, pastors, churchmen and statesmen welcomed the alliance with Hitler.”

Yugoslavia

‘WAR PRAYER’ FOR REICH
Catholic Bishops at Fulda Ask Blessing and Victory
FULDA, Germany, Dec. 6
The Conference of German Catholic Bishops assembled in Fulda has recommended the introduction of a special “war prayer” which is to be read at the beginning and end of all divine services.
The prayer implores Providence to bless German arms with victory and grant protection to the lives and health of all soldiers. The Bishops further instructed Catholic clergy to keep and remember in a special Sunday sermon at least once a month German soldiers ‘on land, on sea and in the air.”
The Concordat between the Vatican and the Nazis
Cardinal Secretary of State, Eugenio Pacelli (later to become Pope Pius XII) signs the Concordat between Nazi Germany and the Vatican at a formal ceremony in Rome on 20 July 1933. Nazi Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen sat on the left, Pacelli in the middle, and the Rudolf Buttmann on the right.
The Concordat effectively legitimized Hitler and the Nazi government to the eyes of Catholicism, Christianity, and the world.
AND HITLER SAID
Adolf Hitler: National Socialism is Not Hostile to Religion
The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgment of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church. This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism is hostile to religion is a lie.
- Adolf Hitler, speech to members of the Nazi Party on the Nazi-Vatican Concordant, July 22, 1933
AND
Adolf Hitler: Human World Inconceivable Without Religious Belief
This human world of ours would be inconceivable without the practical existence of a religious belief. The great masses of a nation are not composed of philosophers. For the masses of the people, especially faith is absolutely the only basis of a moral outlook on life. The various substitutes that have been offered have not shown any results that might warrant us in thinking that they might usefully replace the existing denominations. ...There may be a few hundreds of thousands of superior men who can live wisely and intelligently without depending on the general standards that prevail in everyday life, but the millions of others cannot do so.
- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 10
Get a copy of The Entity by Eric Frattini (subtitled Five Centuries of Secret Vatican Espionage).Its a bit turgid in places (could be a translation problem) but gives some great detail on the daggers and potions under the skirts of the vicarage.
Makes The Mossad thugs look like girl-guides.
Indifference is the deepest form of contempt.
lets have a political debate, about the pope visit to England. hopefully we can stay away from sectarianism. in all shape forms.
in England over 8 million people unemployed. according to the media. this state visit is too cost over 20 million. why the hell should English taxpayers have to pay. isn't the queen/parasite the head of the Anglican church. the richest woman on planet earth. if this dysfunctional political family wants to give the pope a state visit, let them pay for it.
we only have to look at the political role of interference by the vatican, of the 1980s. of the democratic elected government of Nicaragua. Sandanistas, by the Polish office of pope John Paul 11. its collusion of murder of political community activists. carried out by right wing fascist death squads. financed by the American Government of Ronald Reagan. we can look at its treatment of Catholic theologians, inspired by liberation theology
imagine what could be done to alleviate poverty, which many women children experience, the Financial assets of the vatican was to be taken from them. no doubt we would be told the poor , we will always have with us. their reward will be met when they reach heaven. weeping Madonnas, moving statues how are you. building airports.
we can look at political inference, excertion of the vatican to the office of English home secretary. Jack Straw. which asked England not to co-operate with Spains request of the extradition of fastcist murder of Pinochet. while Margaret Thatcher gave him comfort
let us address the area of vatican denial of justice. towards people who are survivors of child sex abuse. under the offices of pope Jonh Paul 11. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now pope Benedict 16. America/Europe. yes there will be people jumping on the bandwagon. using people who are survivors. people who are survivors, are capable of speaking for themselves and have done so.
people need to reafirm for themselves class political analysis.
yes people have a right to oppose the popes visit, to England in a non sectarian way. peacefully
political class analyais empowerment is the way forward
VIVA MARXISMO
As an ex-catholic, a woman, and a mother, I too deeply resent the Vatican's preachings, and this current Pope seems to have set things back even further. They really should be ashamed of themselves.
However, I do respect the fact that most Catholics are honest, decent people and as such, do not deserve to have their religious beliefs disrespected. In my opinion, and in a very respectful way, I would suggest holding a full mass at the venue, delivered by women priests, who would distribute condoms to the adult congregation, and pure white flowers of some sort to the children, to honor their purity and innocence. I somehow thing that a service such as this, and as I said, in a respectful manner, might make those robed old men realise that it's not THEIR religion, it belongs to the congregation.
starting a petition to have Dave Allen canonised? He made some miraculous sketches in his time.
And think of the market in relics of the missing digit. I particularly liked his weekly valediction, 'May your god go with you '.
And I'm all for respecting people and their beliefs. But superstition needs challenging in these increasingly credulous times.
Anyone who left a legend of changing water into wine and favouring the hookers over the heirarchy of his day can't be as bad as his adherents. But the Sanhedran in Rome are a dodgy cran of cod.
Yours, respectfully,
G. O'D.
