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 delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Idi Amin expelled all the Asians of Uganda to Britain. He was a racist who turned Muslim and received lots of 'aid' from Saudi Arabia. His soldiers were a law unto themselves and raped and looted in towns and villages. They murdered about 250,000 people during the time of Amin's regime, mostly members of tribes in central and southern Uganda, while Amin promoted the economic interests of members of his own minority ethnic group in the north. Soldiers invaded the campus of the distinguished Makerere University, killed and beat many students, and vandalised building equipment. Makerere had been one of Africa's best universities and has not fully recovered from those years.
Chavez in praising Amin and Mugabe is shooting his mouth off in a sick way.
"Oh dear me"
Hugo Chavez the motormouth of the left has just given a speech in which he listed people who are wrongly described as bad guys . He began with Carlos the Jackal arguing he had been falsely imprisoned & then went on a general pro-Palestinian curve to include the living leaders of Zimbabwe and Iran respectively : Mugabe and Ahmadinejad. Then he went completely overboard and suggested that Idi Amin has been misunderstood by history.
"We thought he was a cannibal... I don't know, maybe he was a great nationalist, a patriot."
Idi Amin being of course the man who kept his enemies heads in a freezer in his palace because he couldn't eat them quickly enough. Super-ironically one of his many wives would later be prosecuted for breaching health and safety regulations on a restaurant she ran in London.
Hugo seems to have no idea of how tenous his position as a "good guy" can seem when he goes off on these sessions of his.
We know he likes Ahmadinejad
We mostly can't understand why he likes Mugabe
We have known for a long time he writes letters to Carlos (& considering how Carlos hasn't produced a coherent phrase in almost two decades - one really wonders what the letters are like)
.........................But Idi Amin a good guy??????????

In which he criticises Al Qaeda and the Salafia network for their un-professional atttitude and muses that he never took pleasure from the suffering of his victims or opponents. Quite. Indeed. Gurgle. He just did it for the money. And an awful lot of money it was too. Incidently the man in the photo above who excused himself from the French armistice celebrations to spend time on a yacht belonging to a billionaire (coz I and others accidently and without intention put out the imminent assassination R-e-d A-l-e-r-t)* did attend the Bastille day celebrations yesterday and even found time to shake hands with ordinary common French people. You'll be glad & no doubt proud to know that small contigent of Irish troops were sent by the minister of defence Mr "9mm" willy O Dea at the suggestion of President Sarko. This is part of his new "France at the heart of Europe agenda" which will of course help us forgeth the "France at the heart of Europe strategy" of his predecessors. All 22 of them.... And your man Napoleon.
Jackal fans might enjoy the interview http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/arti...4.ece
* I do actually get into trouble for shite like that.
The French leftwing newspaper "Liberation" (owned my mate Baron Rothschild) have located the President Elect of France after he was sneaked out of France late yesterday evening aboard a Falcon 900ex private jet belonging to billionaire Vincent Bollere. He then had supper with his friend billionaire
Dominique Desseigne at the Desseigne family palace in Malta and is now Nicolas Sarkozy "president of the people" is currently aboard a 60 meter yacht Paloma owned by Vincent Bolleré [worth 1.2 (billion)] it was last sighted in Maltese waters but the Italian agency ASTI reports permission was requested to enter Italian waters in the area of Sicily (traditional home to the mafia). The yacht has previously been hired through a London agency for prices ranging from 147,000 to 160,000eu. Sarko the peoples' president is enjoying a holiday of average 6,000eu cost per hour. We don not know yet how he will return to Paris this evening.
Tomorrow he will attend an event in Paris to commemorate the end of Slavery.
& has sent his apologies for missing a commemoration of the Armistice yesterday at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris with Chirac.
The French look forward to their Assembly elections from June 10th to June 17th
which will be just about one month after Sarko starts work "for all the French".

"jogging under protection in Malta" - missed public ceremony yesterday. 6,000eu an hour hols.
Not that anyone would be interested in that anymore anyway. You need positive role models. Not well known Dublin criminal families hiding each others heads in the freezer and giving people crabs left, right and centre. Soon enough we won't have the constant leaks and reminders. They are so quickly becoming faint squeeks aren't they? Are we prepared to live without the constant threat? Not like all of us in general but you know "the constituency". Idi Amin always knew his constituency all the same. So does Forest Whitaker as well. You didn't see a cravatte in that movie did you? Nope. That's revisionism that is. Should be careful of that.
