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.

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.

offsite link 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

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.

RUC Abusing Children by Coercing Them to Become Informers

RUC Abusing Children by Coercing Them to Become Informers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RUC Abusing Children by Coercing Them to Become Informers

The Irish Republican Socialist Party have become aware of the use of
child informers by the unreformed RUC in the Ardoyne area of North
Belfast and we believe that this practice is in widespread use across
the North.

The uncovering of this information came after the finding of an
armaments cache in the Ardoyne area by the RUC. During a subsequent
investigation by the INLA into how these arms were lost, it became
apparent that a 13 year old boy would have had knowledge of the
whereabouts of the weapons. The child subsequently admitted his role
in the recovery of the weapons to the INLA.

Due to his age and mental state, said to have the mind of an eight
year old, the INLA decided not to take any action against the boy for
giving this information to the RUC. Instead they passed all
information to political representatives who in turn contacted local
priest Fr Aidan Troy, who later confirmed the authenticity of the
incident with the boy's family.

The IRSP also put the child's family in contact with a leading human
rights lawyer, Padraigín Drinan, so that any legal avenues could
be pursued. The police Ombudsman, Nuala O'Loan, is also investigating
the matter.

The young boy came to the attention of the RUC because he became
involved in car crime. He was arrested and taken to Oldpark RUC
barracks and came in for close attention from a plain clothes RUC
officer who introduced himself as Johnny and gave the boy a mobile
number to contact him on. The boy then met the RUC man at least eight
times at hotels in and around Belfast since August 2002. So this was
a very calculated move by the RUC and not an isolated incident.

The IRSP in Derry view this case with serious concern. Here was a
case where the RUC showed reckless disregard for the safety of this
child, they actually encouraged him to put his life in danger. This
is a clear breach of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
which the UK government are signed up to. Internet site:
http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/k2crc.htm

The IRSP are meeting MPs in Westminster today (Thursday) to protest
at the RUC behaviour in this case. The RUC acted in a cold
calculating manner in relation to this boy's safety and were totally
reckless towards his well-being. We do not believe this to be an
isolated incident and believe that there are similar cases in Derry.

We would therefore appeal to anyone who has been approached in this
manner, no matter what age, to come forward and get it off their
chests. Do not let your life be ruined by sick RUC child abusers. As
well as calling for these people to come forward, we believe there
are now serious implications for Dennis Bradley and the SDLP with
their wholehearted acceptance of the repackaged RUC and their
positions within the policing board.

We demand answers from the nationalists who serve on these boards.
Are they aware of such practices? Do they condone such breaches of
children's human rights? Have they asked local RUC commanders how
many children they have spying for them in this city?

If they haven't asked these questions, we demand to know why not?
This incident proves that the RUC are unreformable. The SDLP
positions on the local policing partnerships are untenable and they
must pull out now, if only to save their own integrity.
