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.

peace*
"at least in Holland they know how to deal with the fascists, (assassins for hire ...anyone?)"
And this makes you better how, precisely?
a/ the election turn out was 10%, but this was due to many external factors, not just hatred of the SU
b/ how can anyone not recognise the SU? Where will you go when you need past papers for your exams etc?
c/ there are 19,000 students in UCD, not 8,000
d/ the joke about Holland is bang out of order and really shows the maturity and brain power of many so called activists
Noboy should be murdered. In Holland was a disgrace as well in Itialy was bang out of order.
We are better than these Hitler fans. We are right we are just. Nobody is going to take them for real if we ignore them because I'm not loosing sleep over it they are stupid and as Darwin says there genes are going to die with them.
Only the left will surive.
I may be mistake but I thought I read something that Hourihane may have cheated to become head of the student union????
I'd like to hear more about this alleged rigged election. Where did you hear about that? Grapevine or reliable sources??
The election had to be re run cos the head of sport came out and said that we should vote aongus cos he promised to build a 50m pool ( a recurring theme with FFers). The college as an institution cannot stake sides on SU issues, so election was re run.
He is rumoured to be under investigation for sexual harassement/assault.
He has consistently sided with big brother over students. This is the lates example.
He failed to get a motion through a referendum and guess what, has to run it again cos the 'students didnt understand the issue'.Next up is dissafiliation from USI, part of a concerted FF attack on anything with the word union in it.
sure he's a complete arse, but "street justice" is hardly the answer! if people in ucd didn't want him to be re-elected then they should have voted for DF, the other main candidate for the position. given that they didn't is a pity, as was the low turn out and all the messing about by various societies and the staff around and during the election, but it's done.
(and as far as the rumour goes, one of the university newspapers was about to report on the a & the girl story on the same day as the postponed election was held however they weren't allowed to print it, and that story's been kept quiet ever since, presumably for legal reasons.)
[ http://www.ucd.ie/su/officers/mugs/aonghus_hourihane.jpg ]
I notice that Aonghus(sp?) failed to mention that his Dad's a guard at home in Tipperary...
Why doesn't that surprise me. How did he manage to stop the publication of a newspaper, seems to me he SU have a lot more power than they let us think!
Why is that every individual I have spoken to denies having voted for him, yet he still got back in. Where were all DF's supoorters that day.
I agree, his comments were a disgrace.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to boot him out of office. If we got enough signatures or something?? I'm pretty sure he wasnt speaking for many students in the comments he made and I know some people are really angry. Maybe there's an official way to get him out.
yeah, interested in last post, this jackboot cannot be allowed to get away with it. i was under the false assumption that UCD was always more left than trinity, but the support of the Trrinity SU, was exemplary. thw hole existence of the SU has been called into question recently, a majority of students do not want automatic membership, i know i dont. the SU does not represent students, the SU represents apprentice politicians, arse-lickers and sleebheens. there is a lot of dirt on Hourihane, (and his predecessor king of the Hacks 0'lionnain)maybe we could compile it. by the way whatever happened to the C.U.N.T.S movement in UCD, after the soiled matress thing i never heard from it again.
yeah-i sure dont enjoy far right dominance in ucd,or having that guy represent me,but howevermuch you disagree with him(and believe me i do!)allegations and the personal shit shouldnt be put over an open network
on a scale:
stupidness: 10
helpfulness: 0
lets fight the right(wrong)with words,not bullets.
careful not to take the "anti" off of that anl banner
we all believe in feedom of speech - thats why were on indymedia.ie not independent.ie -let aonghus rant,but do somethin productive about it.-i wrote a letter to the independent (however productive that is?) dont just write unsigned crapology
