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 2Red Ants-
"Along with such weighty issues as an anti-secession law and a leadership transition, China's parliament has also
weighed the threat of invasion -- by red ants.
Hong Kong has been battling to stop the spread of the ants, whose fiery sting can be fatal to humans, since they were first found in the southern territory in January. Then the insects were found to have moved north into the neighbouring province of Guangdong. "Prompt, effective measures should be taken to stop hazardous red fire ants from making inroads into north China where the national capital of Beijing is located," Xinhua news agency quoted a delegate to parliament as saying on Sunday. Zhang Zhongning proposed thorough border checks to keep the ants from marching into the heart of Beijing. "The fire ants can bring huge damage to cropland and electrical wires," said Zhang, a scientist from the Institute of Zoology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

"china warned of alien pest danger months ago":-
http://www.thestandard.com.hk/stdn/std/Front_Page/GB14Aa02.html
Meanwhile on the other side of reality,
markets were effected by the ripple of gambling stock market angst "the divils game that it is", which greeted uncertainty emerging from the collapse of the post Hong Kong power transfer deal as perceived at the grass roots level.
Let us make no mistake, many millions of ordinary Hong Kongese expected the British Empire to honour their passports, and deliver them from the big red monster of Beijing. Accordingly in a move to appease the grass rooters (but not the solenopsis invicta variety) China has installed Donald Tsang as Governer type dude, who will take up the post Chris Patton post until 2007.
Some western observers are asking if this new leadership is legal. ( I dunno ask that bastard Kevin Myers. )
- "Pro-democracy lawmakers and the Hong Kong Bar Association have argued during the past week that the law clearly says any elected chief executive serves a full five-year term. They fear that China was pressuring the government to twist the law for Beijing's purposes, endangering Hong Kong's legal integrity — one of the territory's strong points.
One popular theory was that Chinese leaders want Tsang — a career civil servant — to serve for two years so they can test his loyalty. If he does well, he would get a five-year term. Hong Kong's leaders are picked by an 800-person panel dominated by pro-Beijing people.
During his first news conference Saturday, Tsang noted the controversy. "We understand that there are different views in the community," he said."
He made it big, not on the gambling tables of the Jockey club, but rather by impressing everyone in 1998 by spending over 20mil$(US) in fighting off speculators during the Asian Financial Crisis.
It is hoped Mr Tsang will help his Chinese partners in development of the poorer provinces of China to the west and south and north and in the middle, and most of the east, and downtown Kowloon, and just under the airport, by diverting profits from the "really rich people" to "everyone else".
Q. How will this effect the monopoly board?
A. Well, that's a toughie, mortgages will remain stable, so your rent oughtn't to jump, Ryanair have suffered heavy losses since their re-weighting and the beginning of the boycott two weeks ago, and Irish biotech company Elan has returned to its end of 2003 value. So this might be a time for gamblers to avoid high risk investments such as real estate and biotech, not only because God is reported as saying so, "thou shallt not invest in biotech" and "Talmudic property assets shall not include land" but also because you must never forget that the value of your investment can go down as well as up. consult your broker for details.

The british don't like that.
Neither do the Americans.
Neither Taiwan nor China may properly be considered to be level 3 emerging democracies.
We dont like that.
the Union (europe) sells China weapons.
The States (american) sell Taiwan weapons.
In China you get locked up for protesting.
In Taiwan you get locked up for chewing gum.
There have been no further progress reports on the grass root groups Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) as they continue their march on Beijing.
