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 8 9 10Seems to be the religous equivalent of the way many on the left make heros of dead or retired freedom fighters but run a mile from their living equivalents. Che is a rather good example. In trade unions terms Joe Hill is another. Dead and gone their ideas are no longer a threat, but living and acting in front of you throws down the challenge of why you are not doing the same. BTW Trevor Seargent is being quoted on RTE News at One denouncing the action.
Incidentally other direct actions this weekend in New Zealand and at Portmouth Naval base, more details at http://struggle.ws/stopthewar.html
Which "Peace Alliance" are they referring to? Who decided? This is where the bandwagon jumpers are separated from the genuine people. The 'respectables' are deserting!
Protesters are not peaceful but violent he says. He is going to have to talk to Michael McDowell about it. RTE are continuing to repeat unquestioningly the line about the 5 protesters having assaulted a Garda and intimating that they may face serious charges as a result. All this spinning and so early in the morning for Willie's Doktors. It will indeed be interesating to see what the Greenies and Shinners do. All hands on deck on the phones to find out and get out the truth of the situation. RTE 6 hours behind IMC - let's hope they stay that way.
The general public understand that these actions are merely symbolic and taken out of complete frustration at a government that now firmly looks towards Boston!
These peace activists are inspiration for everyone interested in politics today!
Love and Peace to the People of the Middle East!
We must continue to (in our Small way) fight peacefully on their behalf!
Catholic Workers you are true practising Christians!
Merely sybolic acts my hole.Violence is violence whether its bombing a child in Iraq or destroying an aircraft
Pissed off you might be, but comparing the damaging of an aircraft to the killing of a child is just sick.
Violence is not plain violence fullstop
Nothing is ever black and white.
Violence as i see it is an act of agression against a living thing (be it human or whatever)
A plane is not a living thing.
therefore to me what they did is not violence
It is commendable
An act which saves the life of a human being, (or even makes the guy fixing the plane think about why he's fixing it) is not violence.
Not to me.
See, it's never just blackandwhite
I agree with Andrew, except for one thing:
"left make heros of dead or retired freedom fighters but run a mile from their living equivalents. Che is a rather good example..."
Dont forget mose who cLAIM TO BE ON THE LEFT such as the swp and the sp run a mile from Che also, he is too principled, too admired and too hot for them to handle and he was not insane as many of them seem to be.
RTÉ tried bleedin' hard to quote Sargent as saying he denounced the action, but, if you listen to the piece from Morning Ireland linked above, he said it is regrettable the way the attacks are receiving all the media attention and distracting attention from what's happening in Iraq. He didn't even directly criticise those involved, he was less than subtly criticising the Irish meeja (of which I'm no longer part). The way the meeja's reporting things, coupled with the outright mad comments of the politicians (ie. it'll cost taxpayers money to bring in the army, which is the fault of the protestors, as opposed to they wouldn't have to bring in the army if they acted under Irish law and told the US where to stick their warplanes). Ironically, RTÉ is also taking the opportunity to score a few points against the government by criticising the security measures and claiming the same thing wouldn't happen in any other European country, which is also complete bullshit as protestors here in the UK have broken into a number of bases to prove they could and Mark Thomas programme on Ch4 last week showed how easy it would be as they stood around at a fence for minutes waiting for the cops to turn up.

Just in case it's needed, I don't agree with Trevor Sargent's position, I was having a dig at RTÉ's "reporting" of his statements. If the government wants to stop "reckless acts of violence" then get the bloody planes out of there and then the pesky "people" in that so-called democracy won't attack them, now will they?
