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 9I'm a member of the IMC collective, I was videoing at the protest I have available stills and video from three people.
But I'm looking for more, if you were filming at the protest let me know. I'd greatly appreciate a copy of your footage and will happily provide you with some of mine.
This footage combined together can be a powerful tool with courtcases and complaints.
I would love to see the video footage, as I'm sure others would. Cheers. AH

To all,
I, like so many others, attended the street party on Monday. Thankfully I'm not alone in my disgust for the Gardaí handling of the situation.
Having cracked the first head (hours before the 'real trouble' started) they proceeded to make jokes and laugh while eventually ordering an Ambulance. I was refused ANY first aid to treat him, the Bean-Garda insisting she had no such aid. As he was being put into the Ambulance I distinctly heard one of the Gardaí say "I hope you're happy. You caused this mayhem. Well done."
I am not sure if the withholding of First Aid is actually an offence, hell lately it seems they can do whatever they like, but it is a clear marker of how the event was viewed by the powers that be. They also went around to all the nearby pubs and shops in the early afternoon and told them there was a riot going on and not to let anyone in. What possible good can that serve? Surely that is insighting public terror? If the Police enter a peaceful protest, or party, on a war footing of course they will eventually prove themselves right. As I saw it, coming up to the end of the protest, for every 10 protester that left another 5 gaurds arrived. It seemed obvious from quite an early stage that they were attempting to antagonise us into causing trouble and giving them an excuse to close it down. When we did not give them such excuses, they waited until or numbers had lessened and closed it anyway the only way they know how. Mindless flailing of batons and fists. I have heard from friends how they drove towards them in Police Vans and refused to stop even when the hands of protesters pushed against the van as they shouted "Peaceful Protest". Many of my friends were sitting on Dame St. as they were rushed by a swarm of Officers all kicking and swinging batons.
Where are the defenders of the Peace? Who Polices the Pigs?
This is not the country I thought I lived in.

PS. My site below is soon to be an online Zine relating to Police and Bouncer Brutality, Legalisation and other world issues.
One of the things I saw on Dame St was a garda van zig-zagging into a crowd to get them onto the pavement. I've a short video clip which shows a "zig" Surely using a vehicle in this way is answerable to the law? Any opinions?
about 240 euro has been raised so far (from thursdays demonstration) for people who were arrested and sustained injuries on may day. we are hoping to raise some more funds as people face the courts over the next few weeks/months to help pay for legal costs, fines, etc. for more information contact 087 942 5422.
what was the contact number for the solicitor
again mail it to the above address
ferry solicitors are compiling a case against the police and want as many eyewitness accounts as possible. if anyone who was present on may day and witnessed (or experienced) any police brutality contact yvonne banbury (from ferry solicitors) on 0876599342.
her advise for anyone making a formal complaint to the police to have a solicitor present as it is questionable what this information is being used for. it is still important, however, to lodge complaints. yvonne is prepared to make herself available for this.
"an injury to one is an injury to all"
most people who were arrested on may day are facing court on monday 20th may. lets accompany those people and show our support for them.
gathering on the corner of ormond quay and chancery place (on the quays, just before you get to the 4 courts) at 10:15am then moving round to the district court 46.
it has been requested that this not be a demonstration (no placards etc) but a show of solidarity and accompaniment. it is also an opportunity to find out what support people want throughout the post arrest process.
for those who are in court on monday and do not have legal representation yet and would like it you can contact yvonne banbury (solicitor) on 0876599342. she will also be at the district court on the day.
for more details contact 087 942 5422
