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 5 6 7I would like to note that, one day after I posted on indymedai.ie a link to the Sojourners story about the Pentagon's procurement of custom-made Bibles, the U.S. government removed the actual procurement notice from its public database.
Hence, the link to original DoD notice -- which was made available at the end of the SoJo story via a link marked, "No Kidding," is currently not functioning.
Hence, I anticipate that this factor will help fuel accusations that my story is a hoax. It is not.
Its absolute BLASPHEMY. How dare they.
Shame on them.
Why did you only publish this weird and wonderful story here on the Irish indymedia site and nowhere else? If it was true then I would imagine you would have posted it on one, or more of the US sites.
When I saw this first I assumed there must be some background to it, after all it does sound plausible, Bush - bibles - US militarism etc. It would not be inconsistent with what we know of the Bush regime.
If there was anything to it I'm sure someone would, eventually, be able to produce one or more of these bibles, but in the meantime we just have to regard it as an unsubstantiated rumour.
Anyway such a bible is unlikely to be out of character with the existing bible, which has more than its fair share of stories of military exploits, mass slaughter, blood sacrifice, and other gory and unholy deeds.
Actually, I did indeed widely distribute a link to the SoJo article, although recent personal events prevented me from doing so as quickly or as extensively as I would have liked. In addition to a couple of IndyMedia sites (i.e: Washington, DC, etc.), I also sent the link to numerous Web discussion boards, and in turn the story became a hot topic on several of those boards in addition to a few blogs worldwide; indymedia.ie was one of the first sites I sent it to simply because Ireland is, of course, an English-speaking nation with many citizens who are Christians. Call it non-profit, target-marketing, if you will.
Regarding any lingering doubts that this Dept. of Defense procurement of customized Bibles is real, I've included a link to a copy of the initial DoD solicitation notice. Although the Pentagon apparently has relegated all other traces of the notice to the U.S. Government Memory Hole, fortunately the notice was reproduced -- unrelated to the SoJo article -- by FBOdaily.com, a site which specializes in and provides services relating to U.S. federal contracting opportunities.
I hope this alleviates any suspicion that my reporting on this Army-designed Bible Project is innacurate or untrue. As a former Capitol Hill reporter-turned independent journalist, I stake my integrity and reputation on this matter.
Don't forget that the US Special Operations Command not only is adept at conducting "precision strikes" against targeted people and facilities, its other specialty is psychological warfare and disinformation; as evidenced by the removal of the procurement notice from a publicly accessible federal database following publication of the SoJo article, I have now experienced the end-result of such a successful PsyOps mission. That's no conspiracy theory.
http://www.stevepeacock.com
The Dept. of Defense did not surreptitiously remove the procurement notice in question, but rather it sent it to an archival system. My apologies for any confusion. Here it is.
that the christianity of the USA is in schism with the christian beliefs of Europe. The Roman and Orthodox churches who make up the vast majority of European believers consider the evangelical belief systems to be heretical on many counts, and their prosletyisation is for the most part "unwanted" in mainland europe where the route to proper democracy though recognising the right to religious belief, is based on accords with the dominant strains of judeu-christian beliefs from which are cultural and ethical traditions are together with hellenic philosophy based.
"Leviticus doesn't do it for us you see."
This becomes ever more important as Europe embraces the other tradition of the "books" that of Islam. A secular society is based on mutual tolerance and respect, and ahem "better the divil you know than the divil you don't". So it would be really great if some friendly billionaire would print up a few squillion copies of virgil and homer and shakespeare and cervantes and drop them from a height on the bible belt of the USA.
Before they ever try and ban them on us.
Rather than reveal the "Army-designed photgraphs and text inserts" that were slated to be published inside the "custom" Bibles, the Army Special Operations Command has cancelled the project, desperately seeking a loophole to evade compliance with the federal Freedom of Information Act.
