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.

first Unionist block press statement
this follow the Belfast Telegraph report yesterday which sees the visit as possible the most "significant" step in recent NI history.
Bush and Blair must treat terrorists the same everywhere
DUP Deputy Leader Peter D Robinson MP MLA commented this evening upon the news that Tony Blair and President Bush are to visit Northern Ireland next week. Mr Robinson said,
“With the Allies fighting against a terrorist dictator in Iraq, it is crucial that the same approach is adopted in Northern Ireland. Terrorism is the same the world over, whether it is responsible for atrocities in Northern Ireland or New York. To adopt one approach to Saddam and another to the IRA would demonstrate that a greater value was put on the lives of those in Iraq than the people of Northern Ireland. Whilst we support the actions in Iraq it is vital that this moral case is not compromised by actions to prop up terrorists in Northern Ireland.
It will be interesting to see if the President goes along with the Blair line of seeking to silence the majority voice within unionism. One way or another the voice of the majority of unionists will be heard.”
Next up will be the UUP and smaller pro-union parties.
the characters on the big table so to speak.
get your broomstick out and prepare to move them tactically accross the map.
Mr Bush is not terribly well advised we all know this.
HE is a poor befuddled type.
heavy on the "protestant religion vibe" though he shares "anglicanism" as his official religious denomination with Blair.
This is a link to the USA orange order.
http://www.orangenet.org/loiusa/OrangeUSA.html
and here is a "article" published in the Belfast Telegraph by a "irish republican" supporting the Orange "right to march".
http://www.orangenet.org/loiusa/Opinion.html
I particularly like the
"why we shouldn't blacken orangemen" bit.
quite right that would be a different order entirely.
sure an apprentice orangeman ye can nae be!

ps
has our original message been taken off the newswire?????
Who according to at least one FG TD Jim Higgins are infiltrated by 'rabble, some of whom had a considerable amount of military experience not so long ago in this country and wrought havoc in this country'from IT, 4 Apr. This seems all to convenient dragging forget Boston we're as far as Texas now, showing us how Georgie Boy really does want World peace (even Gerry Adams says so),'just one thing so what are we to do with these protesters? mmmmmmm....'
'Sorted they're coming to Belfast!'
do try and be rational
12 million people are not going to Belfast.
The island of Ireland does not have the logistic capabality to allow for all the protesters and inflitrators to go to Belfast.
You will just have to represent them.
if you want to goto Northern Ireland the easiest way of getting there is crossing the "Border" between the Republic of Ireland and the UK the bit that puts the K in US/K.

there you go no logistical capability to get all the protesters to Belfast.
pity.
but that also means there is not a hope in hell of getting really big proper World institutions to do gigs in Belfast either. No IMF no WorldBank nothing like that.
This might just be your best chance.
Your first post was removed because it was just a phone number, what part of the news bit in "newswire" is causing this confusion?
Your second post was taken down beacause A) it was little better than the fist, and B) it was already posted here.
If you want to post about the meeting in belfast could you y'know post actual information and details, about who you are and what you are doing, thus creating a post with information to enlighten and inform people, so it would be, news.
Yes this is sarcastic and no I don't care.
he's not really being sarcastic.
you can also get to Northern Ireland from Scotland. scotland is a part of the UK as well.
the scottish don't like Bush nor Blair nor Ahern.
and they are a fiercesome lot who raise their kilts when angered.
rational????
lets hope all the Pro War maniacs who love the Queen will be rational!
Once the decision was taken to go to war in Iraq and facilated by declaration from attorney general the world changed .They cant say voilence should not be used to solve disputes anymore .The further decision to deliberately target civilians as in the bombing of resturant in an attempt to kill Sadam demonstrated that civillans who worked there were expendable,this has implications regarding victims here that tends to suggest the so called conflict here has been legitamised.Not much point anybody on the political scene saying we wont sit down in gov with men or parties linked to war anymore .The question we should be adressing is, how ,now that Pandoro box has been opened ,can we have a future .We should be mindful of what the futurologist Ray Kunstell predicted when he stated "the future doesnt need us" we could be coming to a defining moment for human kind soon with the possibility that we may be alreadly to late to make a difference as the mess is alreadly on the move in europe.
