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.

by Cara - Sackedbymyunion ex Belfast Docker

Report this post to the editors

Why does Jack O'Connor and the Arts refuse to stage my Stageplay -One Big Onion

At Belfast Docks ITGWU continued the swing to the Right - which began when they sacked Jim Larkin - the same Jim Larkin that Jack O'Connor and SIPTU are honouring - with tongues firmly in cheeks and laughing all the way to the bank with their massive salaries.

It is understandable - I suppose - from a corrupt point of view, that Jack O'Connor would want to cover up the Union's behaviour at Belfast Docks - the same way they'd forgotten that they sacked Larkin. However, what is not understandable - at least to me - is why the so-called Independent and free thinking writers and actors in the Dublin Arts Scene are rowing in behind Jack O'Connor and refusing to stage my play after a successful reading of the play.

The tittle One Big Onion is a reflection of the layers of corruption within the union. Jack O'Connor heads this corruption and I'm sick telling him so at large meetings, but he won't sue me for defamation - although he threatened to do so. Then his Belfast solicitor, one John O'Neill told him I was speaking the Truth.

Ed: redacted statement

For proof of what I maintain, see my profile on Linkedin, Sackedmyunion on Twitter and the documentary
proof on www.siptupresidentjackoconnorexposed.com To put a legal face on their Union and Employers Court they put everything in writing - and unbelievably the EX UNION CHAIRMAN JIM AUSTIN was the Court Prosecutor.

WHY ARE THE ARTS ALSO CENSORING THIS PLAY.

Editor: This story has been redacted somewhat and a number of comments have been removed in relation to Hugh Murphy and Attic because many of the allegations cannot be satisfactorily substantiated. The story has been re-instated so that the focus can be shifted to the core issue which is that of exposure to Asbestos in Belfast. Any further comments in relation to Attic which are tangential to the core issue will be removed or result in the entire article being removed.
