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

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 >>

Media coverage of street battles distract public attention from the G8's unaccountable policies.
Rostock, G8 2007: There is Something Terribly Wrong Here
Here in Germany, as major protests begin against the G8, the world press
is not looking beyond the story of the battle – a partial story at best
– and asking how or why it is happening
Summit after summit, we have seen the same pattern in the media. The
images of black clad protestors hurling rocks at police, the stories of
senseless hooligans -- those whom the government says should be punished
and locked away.
These stories and images of street fighting do nothing but spread fear,
criminalize protests, divide social movements, and distract the public
from the story of the G8 and their unaccountable polices that are
spreading militarism, poverty, violence, environmental destruction and
climate change.
It is easy to condemn those who throw a rock or burn a car, but most of
what we are seeing in Rostock is police blatantly provoking violence,
using that same violence to justify ever more heavy-handed repression.
Each day we are experiencing constant harassment, searches and
humiliation imposed on us in the streets and on bikes, trains and
borders, with no evidence of crime.
According to an official statement 13,000 police were present in Rostock
on Saturday – all were well-armed and wearing lots of protective gear.
There were small bands of police running into crowds, pushing, shoving
and encircling protestors in a legally permitted rally. We saw
nonviolent protestors who were trying to de-escalate the situation
bludgeoned with batons and pepper sprayed. We saw huge water cannons
infused with toxic chemicals spraying indiscriminately. Why is the press
not reporting these acts of violence by the police? If violence makes
such good headlines, why does the violence of poverty created by G8
policy go un-condemned?
Perhaps we might begin to understand if we look deeper. We may see that
such violent confrontations have become a symptom of social and economic
systems that values property over life, prisons over education, sprawl
over sustainability, borders over migration, war over peace. We might
see that it is in the interest of the police and the G8 to have such
street fights, to justify the 90 million euros spent on security (in
Germany alone). We might understand that repression and the violence of
police is designed to thwart democracy and silence dissent.
But we who oppose the G8 will not be silent and we not be stopped. We
understand that things are terribly wrong and that without such protests
our voices will not be heard at all.

Jump To Comment: 1 2Further police repression today as the forces of lawlessness and disorder are granted a licence to fire plastic bullets at the protesters.
The numbers at the various demonstrations today were down as people are laying preparations for the commencement of the mass blockades which begin tomorrow-tonight..
Arrests have been numerous throughout the day with many protesters being nicked for HAVING BANDANAS in their bags.No kidding.
Earlier the police refused to let a 1000 strong rally at the HQ of Caterpillar go ahead unless every demonstrator showed their ID to the cops and had their details recorded.
The German private media are stirring up horror headlines like "will they kill us all?" with a picture of a black-blocer defending him-herself from police attack with stones while the public media are a lot more sympathetic,focusing on the immense,and I mean uber-immense repression of the demonstrators every move.
The armed forces have also been called in(special unit nine or something they are called) and they have been flying a fighter jet over the massive Reiddilich camp several times today along with the omnipresent two helicopters that buzz over our heads twenty four hours a day.
Preparations are going well with the decentralsied sttructure taking effect nicely and meetings happening all over the sites.
We will see what tomorrow brings.
Over and out.
Solidarity!
That would probably be GSG 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSG_9 which for constitutional reasons is a part of the police, rather than military, but fufills a SAS style counter terrorist role.
