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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8So Whingin' Finghin is still at it: lobbying in the interests of the rich car-owning feckers that pollute our cities and divert public resources away from bus and rail and toward construction of motorways.
Give it up. It's retrogressive, narrow-minded and sanctimonious. /Poor/ liddle oppressed "young people" in der mothors.
I can hear Whingin'Finghin's speech now:
"Rise up fellow young persons, it is appalling that in today's world today that we are oppressed. Society is oppressing us. We have a right in today's society, we have an obligation to drive cars! In this so-called modern Ireland today at this present time, the youth of today demands the right to liberate itself by driving cars. We demand the right to burn oil produced by theocratic regimes and sold to us by multi-national corporations. We are being RIPPED-OFF by the motor-industrial-complex! Revolt! throw off your bus passes, you have nothing to lose but your conscience."
should have read:
Yuppie swine seek reduction in subsidized private transport costs.
fingin, you sound like a member of young fine gael. are you sure youre not in the wrong party?
The Socialist Party stands for a public transport system that remains under public ownership under workers control, that is cheap and intergrated. The fact is we do not have this in Ireland. Therefore many working class young people are forced to travel by car to get to work for example because the bus service is so unreliable. However they are forced to pay criminal costs for insurance. This is why we intiated a campaign against the high cost of insurance which calls for a nationalised car insurance company that will provide cheap insurance. This campaign is something that should be supported by everyone on the left to combat this discrimination against young people.
Your argument doesn't make sense Cillian:
1. The number of young people that can afford a car are from the affluent classes.
2. If as you admit there is no public transport then how is supporting cars going to develop it?
Sounds like cheap bandwaggon jumping. You won't convince many of the car-owning feckers to vote Socialist and you can be damn sure the rest of us will remember that you stabbed us in the back.
The fact is that young workers do have cars, they are certainly not affluent or middle class.
They are also dependent on cars as there is no public transport system in many parts of Dublin or around the country.
We fight for a reliable fully integrated public transport system under workers control. The reality is that this is a long way off for those woking in many of the industrial estates in West Dublin that have no public transport. What do you say to those people who depend on cars?
All those on the left should oppose the car insurance rip off of young drivers, it is blatent discrmination by the Insurance companies.
This is not some cynical election ploy on behalf of the SP, it one of many campaigns that we are involved in and is by no means the main issue we are standing on in any of the constituencies.
Would aunty party happen to be that Simon Basketter of that SWP in disguise!?
You make grand statements about how you support "public transport under workers control" and blather on about young drivers.
It is obvious that supporting car-drivers and making it possible to drive a car forces puts more people into cars. The economic reality is that even if you achieve your goal of reducing insurance for young drivers to comparable rates it's still a massive investment for someone working retail.
The outcome of this is that when you have a car you use it all the time instead of the bus: it's more economical. The outcome of that is that you don't want more public transport because that means that more of your taxes are going towards other people's transport needs not your own. The end result is that public transport disappears in Ireland.
You are being short-sighted.
You are not looking at the cyclist on the road who is about to be knocked down by one of the extra cars that you've put on the roads.
You are not looking at the schoolkid knocked down by one of those cars.
You are not looking inside the lungs of the child who has grown up breathing the exhaust from those cars.
You are sloganeering.
You have no vision.
You are not supporting the working class.
You are being divisive and ineffective.
