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 >>

The food, of course, will be vegetarian with a vegan option.
Also, we hope to be able to organize some events to have fun on Friday’s, Saturday’s and Sunday’s nights.
We are going to have ready anything necessary to play videos and if you would like to show something to the rest of participants, let us know! And we trust in your skills and help.
Children, and people with any special need are welcome, but it will be good to know in advance, in order to ease their reception and to provide whatever you need.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3So how do we all get to Barcelona? Walk? While eating the deer we just killed with a flint spear? And I guess if we all pool the pelts of what we've all killed, we'll have enough to build a shelter.
I'm not trying to be trollish; in some ways, I find the subject of a critique of civilization fascinating. One thought that I have, and it's a chilling one, is the amount of people who would have to die off, starve, and freeze to get us back to pre-civilization population levels.
Since I don't know how to farm or hunt, and the people who I know who do aren't the greatest at sharing, I'd probably be among the first billion or so to go.
if you're worried about not being able to survive without the continuance of this corpse-machine, to borrow a phrase, then start learning.. how to share would be a first step.. And yes Barcelona is miles away but dont knock em for the invitation, at least they're trying to share some ideas, skills + whatnot. Good luck to em
"if you're worried about not being able to survive without the continuance of this corpse-machine, to borrow a phrase, then start learning.. how to share would be a first step.."
Y'know after the fall of civilisation (or the "corpse-machine") I think it'll be pretty easy to pick up on how to use a spear and make bread. They're not the most complicated activities after all. (Fuck knows what you're gonna go around hunting with a spear though...)
I'd be more worried about things that'll be a bit harder to pick up - anyone at this yoke going to run workshops on diy heartsurgery or 'ways to communicate with people on the other side of the world without using technology' or anything like that?
