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 >>

press release
 Saturday August 30, 2008 05:26 by Dr. Betty Martini, D.Hum - Mission Possible International bettym19 at mindspring dot com 9270 River Club Parkway, Duluth, Georgia 30097 770 242-2599
Aspartame Awareness Weekend, Sept 5th through 7th
Mission Possible International teams up with Phoenix Environmental Institute working to ban aspartame globally. It is a deadlly poison and interacts with all drugs. It has caused a global plague the world over. News Title: Campaign to ban synthetic sweetener aspartame gaining global ground
To read the entire story, visit http://www.transworldnews.com/NewsStory.aspx?ID=57967.
A resolution to rescind approval of aspartame, written by Stephen Fox and Betty Martini, D.Hum, founder of Mission Possible International (MPI), was submitted to all members of the South Africa parliament August 9th by the Phoenix Environmental Institute (PEI). The organization also lodged a complaint with the country's Department of Health and its Advertising Standards Authority. Contact info for PEI: Khadija Sharife, kalebron@gmail.com
The original resolution (Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution 191) is a genteel legislative mandate and request of the FDA to rescind aspartame approval. It resulted from difficulties faced by the original ban bill, which were brought by Corporate Lobbyists. Attempts to obtain a legislative ban on the known neurotoxic, non-nutritive food additive in New Mexico almost succeeded in 2006 and, 47 members of the UK parliament signed an "Early Day Motion" in favor of an aspartame ban in Jan, 2006. A petition on aspartame was submitted to the New Zealand government with over 8,000 signatures on July 23, 2008. http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/GE0807/S00152.htm
Public awareness regarding the dangers of consuming products containing aspartame is growing. To help generate the critical mass necessary to criminalize the trafficking of aspartame in countries throughout the world, MPI has teamed up with PEI to distribute vital facts on aspartame for the global banning of this known neurotoxin. Several aspartame awareness documents, free for downloading, are available at www.mpwhi.com. Also available is The Artificially Sweetened Times-a compelling, 24-page booklet dedicated to teaching people about the dangers of aspartame. The Artificially Sweetened Times can be found at www.proliberty.com/observer/asptimes.htm.
Aspartame Awareness weekend
The weekend of September 5 - 7 is Aspartame Awareness Weekend for 2008. The international emphasis this year is to provide restaurant managers with "aspartame facts" so they are encouraged to remove aspartame voluntarily (Equal/NutraSweet/E951/Canderel, etc.) as a sweetener option from their restaurant tables. There are safe alternatives. "Just Like Sugar" has restaurant packets available in a natural sweetener of chicory, orange peel, Vitamin C and Calcium which is safe for diabetics, whereas aspartame and sucralose (Splenda) are deadly. Be warned about Neotame from ASP manufacturers which has now been approved. Aspartame is an addictive excitoneurotoxic carcinogenic drug that interacts with virtually all drugs and vaccines due to damage to the mitochondria or life of the cell. Aspartame is currently added to drugs prescribed to treat the problems it causes as well as many children's vitamins.
For instance, "headache" is number one on the FDA list of 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning. When chronic headache sufferers seek medical care they may be given Maxalt by Merck; Maxalt contains aspartame.
Aspartame interacts with L-dopa and can trigger Parkinson's Disease. Yet, Parcopa, a drug prescribed to Parkinson's sufferers, has aspartame in it and Parcopa manufacturer Schwarz Pharmaceutical refuses to remove it. www.wnho.net/schwarz_pharma_letter.htm
Four different types of seizures are noted on the FDA list of 92 symptoms of aspartame poisoning. A drug commonly prescribed to treat seizures, Dilantin, manufactured by Pfizer, has been reformulated and has caused a tremendous amount of publicity because epileptics taking this drug are experiencing more seizures, loss of equilibrium, vision problems, glaucoma and even sexual dysfunction, all of which are well-known symptoms that aspartame victims suffer.
A campaign to determine conclusively that the new Dilantin formula contains aspartame is currently underway as are preparations to file a class action lawsuit against Pfizer. Epileptics, whose sudden increase of seizures coincide with taking the reformulated Dilantin, a larger capsule that is white with a red stripe, are encouraged to contact Dr. Glenn Mabson of the Epileptic Foundation of Maui at www.epilepticfoundationmaui.org
Ketocal, a supplement drink, is a common component of the ketogenic diet, a high-fat/low carbohydrate dietary regimen primarily prescribed to epileptic children. Ketocal contains aspartame www.shsna.com/ca_english/pages/ketocal.htm
The model aspartame ban resolution is currently being translated into several languages. See the resolution at www.wnho.net/aspartame_war_in_hawaii_continues.htm
If you're interested in translating the resolution into your language or pursuing an aspartame ban, contact Dr. Betty Martini of MPI. You can also subscribe to the Aspartame Information List on www.mpwhi.com to stay current with worldwide efforts to ban the neurotoxic, carcinogenic drug aspartame.

Jump To Comment: 1I cant thank the organisers enough for raising awareness of this issue. I have been addicted to diet coke for years and only recently found out what some of the effects of aspartame are. I am weaning off it but it is difficult. If more people only knew! Thank you so much, I wish you all every success.
