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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

please give as much info on this case as poss.
and c/f criminal damage case against the little old ladies of Scottish nuclear Trident ploughshare fame.
and is there an appeal € account.
I'm sure that the magistrate will be aware that Eoin's action was motivated by two very important principles: a desire to stop the slaughter of innocent civilians and a desire to prevent the illegal servicing of USAF aircraft upon Irish soil.
It would be a good idea if the money wasted in diverting Gardai (from their proper duties in investigating financial corruption among our business and political elite and ensuring that more drivers adhere to the speed limits) into preventing citizens from observing airplanes from the public viewing gallery were instead spent upon our appalling bus system.
Good luck Eoin.
A lotta people gotta laugh outta that one! It was funny - and pretty skilful, too.
The court case will be very interesting.
and if not are there sufficient funds / planning to support a higher court hearing to facilitate such questions and answers, and the calling of relevant state witnesses to explain the presence of a hostile world power´s military machinery of murder in a neutral state´s airport?
Good Luck Eoin. = onside
Eoin, or any one else who can answer this,
"The court was told the charges are being contested and the hearing will involve over 14 witnesses, including an expert witness from the United States."
I'm just wondering about that sentence - which side are all those 14 witnesses on? is it kinda half and half or what? Sorry if its a bit of a silly question. hope plans for the case are going well.
Also do you have a bank account and details that people can donate to if it is needed?
Clare
there are models available from anarchist black cross federation. (go to www.infoshop.org)
there are numerous models available in Ireland.
campaings to release the innocent:
Birmingham 6, Maguire 7, Guildford 4, Winchester 3 to mention a few, and the work of SAOIRSE and more recent campaigns on political prisoners/defendents.
Witnesses may be called by both sides. The higher the court the more witnesses and the presence of jury. Money is needed to pursue this course of action.
MR Dubski could have given protesters the lawsuit they need to widen the campaign.
And Mr Dubski needs social support, buy him rounds and rounds of drink.
I was with Eoin in Shannon yesterday.
When we got to the court the caretaker told us we'd missed the judge by 5 minutes.
Eoin knew his first bus was going to be delayed. I'd imagine the flooding would have had something to do with that.
So Eoin rang ahead to tell Insp Kennedy of Shannon Garda. Eoins says Inspector Kennedy told him Eoin was way down the list. Eoin told them he would not make it before lunch, having missed the connecting bus from Dublin.
If we only missed the judge by 5 minutes, then
when we were getting the bus from Limerick, the court must have been sitting.
It would not have been unreasonable effort for inspector Kennedy have someone ring young Dubsky (he has his mobile number) to see where he was before they decided to issue an arrest order.
It's not like Eoin decided not to show up.
Eoin was well shocked to see the hall at Shannon
empty of people just past 2pm.
At his last appearance, proceedings went on all day, and Eoin wasn't called until about 5pm.
He phoned Inspector Kennedy, was told he was a 'wanted man' and then we went to the Garda Station at Shannon, and they drove Eoin to Ennis.
Anyhow, the judge set Dec 18th for the trial, at Tulla, Co. Clare.
To avoid further hassle, Eoin will probably stay at my house in Limerick the night before, or else with someone in the Ennis area.
To my knowledge, Eoin is calling one witness, and the rest will be airport security and Gardai.
bear in mind i know fuck all about the legal system...
is there any chance that eoin's trial can actually be reversed to bring into question the legitimacy of these warplanes on irish soil and the whole neutrality thing?
could bertie end up in prison for treasonous breaching of the constitution?
or does this kinda beautiful shit only happen in matlock?
The main charge against me is for criminal damage to the US Airforce Hercules at Shannon Airport that night. I don't dispute that I spray-painted the warplane, but I hope to spend most of the time on Dec 18th (my trial date) showing the court that I had legal excuse (Statutory Defence), I had to act to prevent a greater evil (Common Law Defences of necessity), what I did was entirely legitimate and reasonable under International Law (International Law Defence that authorises me to act in order to prevent the commission of crimes recognised under international law), and that I have a Moral Defence which is mine as a living being.
...Judge Mangan isn't going to put an arrest warrant out for Bertie like he did for me last week... and even if he acquits me under any of the above laws its just the district court and wouldn't mean much for the law.
Alas, I heard a funny thing yesterday: A guy in First Year law in UCD read my name on his reading list "Eoin Dubsky v Ireland"! :-) Class, no?
