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.

Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
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.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Miscarriage of Justice
Please take a couple of minutes to support Troy and possibly save his life. Thanks.
The U.S use of death penalty in every form should be questioned by those people
who value rights that we have fought for over generations in Europe.

The last attempt at appeal will be 24 hours after the U.S memorialises the 9/11 attacks,
which means the MSM attention will be directed on the candidature for the election
and attendant patriotism. Seven years ago a similar conjunction occurred when the
issues raised by the Mc Veigh execution were similarily disregarded (June 11th 2001)
thus leaving a huge gap in the whys of the attack on the Federal building. Tracing the
U.S relationship with the death Penalty is very difficult, high profile cases such as
Gilmore and Mc Veigh (who both requested execution) muddies the issues of the
use of that method of Justice in the case of a proven case of coercion against individuals
who have admitted placing him at the scene of the crime through bullying by law enforcement
agents.
Please send solidarity and support messages to the listed blog site included above.
Gary Gilmore was the first legal execution victim through firing squad after the US
lifted the prohibition on public execution.
The scheduled execution of Troy Anthony Davis (23 -09-08) will occur in Georgia.
The final clemency hearing is scheduled for today (12-09-08)
Neither Republican nor Democratic presidential hopefuls have commented on the high % of black men executed
in what is claimed to be a gross miscarriage of justice., with signed affidavitts on cop coercion and brutality
disallowed in evidence.
Info : http://www.troyanthonydavis.org
(it's kind of cute that Republicans are running a pro-life candidate- info on Women's Rights and
death penalty are at : http://www.amnestyusa.org)
The Clemency hearing at the the State Board of Paroles and Pardons began yesterday at 12.30pm.
Defence closed some hours later , after five witnesses took the stand there was a press conference
by the Defence stating that they had presented overwhelming evidence 'doubting his guilt'.
The Prosecution hearings will begin soon, with members of the Mc Phail family in attendance.
The execution is scheduled for the 23rd of September @7.30pm.
He was denied a re-trial after several witnesses recanted their original evidence.
Options open to the Georgia Board of Paroles and Pardons are limited by the refusal of re-trial.

Troy Anthony Davis
Clemency Denied- no reason given.
Scheduled execution :- September 23rd . 7pm. Lethal Injection.
http://www.troyanthonydavis.org
Clemency has been denied and the scheduled execution of Troy Anthony Davis Is due to
take place in Atlanta Georgia this evening at 7pm.
Thats cos American citizens believe in the death penalty, though it was only famously re-instigated
for the Shooting of Gary Gilmore .
http://www.troyanthonydavis.org
it is rather too late for people to use the addresses given in the links above to make their
feelings known on the issue of executing a man whom is most possibly innocent.
it is also rather late to be asking about the Republican Pro-life campaign that is
being run by Mc Cain and Palin in the context of the use of state execution as deterrent , whilst
attempting to deny medical abortion rights to women in contravention of accepted articles
under Human Rights Law.
http://www.usamnesty.org
the campaign to get a re-trial and to take this man off death row is continuing.
7/9 witnesses signed affidavits claiming coercion and abuse by cops.
Please send messages of support and highlight this campaign:
