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 text in the sections below are from an e-mail I sent recently to a number of senior Republic of Ireland politicians and lawyers.
Past experiences strongly suggest that the senior lawyers and politicians concerned will -- for all practical purposes -- all COMPLETELY ignore my "e-mail efforts" to try and communicate with them regarding the issues in question: one directly involving President Michael D. Higgins, and one directly involving Minister for Social Protection Joan Burton TD.
After seeing this Indymedia (Ireland) article, I'm wondering if the Integrity Ireland group might be able to help me to resolve any of the issues involved?
Any help your group might be able to provide me with would be appreciated.
In any event, Good Luck with your efforts.

A scanned copy of the November 2nd 2011 registered letter in question, together with a scanned copy of the "To Whom It May Concern" letter dated October 28th 2005 from medical doctor Michael McCavert -- my former GP while living in "forced exile" for three years and nine months (or so) in Omagh, Northern Ireland, ENTIRELY for the purpose of avoiding being corruptly criminalised in the Republic of Ireland in connection with my ongoing efforts to expose unconstitutional legislation (in the Republic of Ireland) -- which was enclosed with my November 2nd 2011 registered letter to President Higgins, plus scanned copies of the associated Post Office receipts and delivery notes, can all be viewed at the following www location:
http://www.humanrightsireland.com/PensionAppealsOfficer...r.htm
It is certainly the case that I have never received any reply from President Michael D. Higgins to the above mentioned registered letter, not even an acknowledgement of receipt. Consequently, I remain unsure as to whether or not he is personally aware of my November 2nd 2011 registered letter to him. (And, if he is not personally aware of it, why is he not?)

A scanned copy of the March 16th 2011 registered letter in question, together with a scanned copy of the "To Whom It May Concern" letter dated October 28th 2005 from Dr Michael McCavert (General Practitioner) which was enclosed with my March 16th 2011 registered letter to Minister Burton, plus scanned copies of the associated Post Office receipts and delivery notes, can all be viewed at the following www location:

It is certainly the case that I have never received any direct reply from Minister Burton to the above mentioned registered letter, not even an acknowledgement of receipt. Consequently, I remain unsure as to whether or not she is personally aware of my March 16th 2011 registered letter to her (and, if she is not personally aware of it, why is she not?). It is also most certainly the case that I have never received ANY of the "5, 700 (or so) EUROS Disability Allowance payment shortfall" referred in the registered letter to Minister Burton at the www address immediately above. Neither have I ever received ANY State Pension payments, of any kind, since making my formal Application for the "old age" pension in question (on March 16th 2011): using the two registered letters at the www address immediately above, and one of which was addressed and posted DIRECTLY (by me) to Minister Burton.

Some samples of the kind of information Republic of Ireland Prime Minister Enda Kenny TD chooses to COMPLETELY IGNORE ...
"It would be much appreciated if you would advise me -- in writing please, at your earliest convenience -- if you are in a position to help me to resolve any of the difficulties referred to at the two Internet page addresses provided above."
The text in the paragraph just above is from a registered letter sent to Prime Minister Enda Kenny TD on December 14th 2012.
A scanned copy of the December 14th 2012 registered letter in question, together with scanned copies of the associated Post Office receipts and delivery-note confirmation, can be viewed at the following www location:
http://humanrightsireland.com/PrimeMinisterEndaKennyTD/...l.htm
As can be seen at the www address just above, an almost identical registered letter was sent to former Republic of Ireland Justice Minister Alan Shatter TD (also on December 14th 2014).
From William Finnerty's viewpoint, it appears that BOTH Prime Minister Enda Kenny TD, and former Justice Minister Alan Shatter TD, must have decided to COMPLETELY IGNORE the entire existence (and the contents) of the two registered letters referred to above.
It is certainly the case that William Finnerty has never received ANY "acknowledgement of receipt", of ANY kind, from either Prime Minister Enda Kenny TD, or from former Justice Minister Alan Shatter TD (or from any of their support staff), for either of the two registered letters referred to above.
A related e-mail titled "Aiding and abetting government crime with impunity", which was sent some months earlier to Prime Minister Enda Kenny (on July 27th 2012), the ENTIRE contents of which he also appears to be COMPLETELY IGNORING, can be viewed at the www location just below:
