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. The Saker >>

€urope.2004.
If you are Irish then you are very lucky, from Jan 1 to June you will share the €uropean Presidency with Bertie Ahern and approximately four million other people, this affords you considerably more political influence then say a Frenchie, who has to share with many millions more. However don't feel too powerful, the Luxembourgish still win hands down, quite legitimately wrestling with great problems of European Integration during their average of four hours each as President of the Union.
Bertie will naturally be looking for counsel, advice and a helping hand throughout these six months, so we all should think how best to spend our thirty minutes presidency. Useful tip: Don't try and dissolve the €U, you'll meet with unseen problems.
If you want to leave Ireland, and abandon your responsibilities just like Bertie does, you can choose to visit other "important" European Cities this year, it really is quite startling how many of the "2004 year of X" have gone to €urope this year, and is probably a sure sign of our very much lessened influence in the World. And to be honest "people on the ground" the infamous grassroots types, are being less than enthusiastic about the great round of "2004€urope". Each city has presented itself as a sort of bourgois weekend holiday venue with some new architecture and a brazen attempt to internalise popular malcontent into the municipal state machine.
Each city selected, faces unpredicted problems with European integration, and a quick look at the "chat forum" attached "de rigour" to each official site, sees the incredulity of locals at odds with the "gloss and vanity" of such corporative business exercises masquerading as regeneration and culture. And this really is only the beginning, in the great €urope of 25 states of the future, municipal state authorities will compete to present the "Conference / Weekend Venue Deluxe". €urope has more pretty cities with easily moved poor people than the USA and that's how it is.
Athens 2004 home of the Olympics. It might be fun to put drugs in the water. But you won't get away with it, the Greeks have passed lodas of measures to protect Athens from biological and chemical attack, from evil doers who will try and spoil the traditional fun. Now this really is "medium to high risk" has evildoers have attacked Olympiads before. You can read the Greek Diplomatic daily updates at http://www.greekembassy.org/press/2004updates/
Genoa 2004 european city of culture, very busy promoting itself as a conference venue,
and let us remind everyone forgetting the death of a protester Carlo Guilliani. Genoa will present the usual mishmash of culture products on the street and infront of plush seats, whilst dealing with the European Federalist conference 19-21 March http://www.mfe.it/ and chitchat on Biotechnology, and a *_must not miss_* the European Plastic Surgeons conference on May 27- 29. http://www.euraps.org/home.htm
Sums it up really.
Barcelona. really don't bother.
If you really want to help the people of Barcelona, do _not_ visit the city in 2004. If you visit, you push up the living costs in terms of accomodation (which each year increase by 150%). All the interesting people will do their best to get out and bring their tourist spin-off capitalist caché to other places so officially Barcelona is "UN-COOL" this year. except if you're a cryptologist:

Athens very safe, had a regime change, nothing that different for the poor people, don't buy a house if you visit.
Belfast will be having a big march for MayDay 2004 as well, and needs tourists.---- -------- ------ -------- go there..------ ------- ------- ------- -------- --------- ---------- ---------
The Basque Country, lovely people lovely place, go there.
Morrocco lovely country, very poor, suffer a lot of abuse, go there.
This year open your mind to the world on your doorstep. Before it's too late. OH and leave a tip. it's only polite. 10% - 15% in local money can go a long way.
