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.

O Leary is what we need for the Taoiseach.high time that somone gets out there and shatters the trade unions and the leftist waster powerbase that has held Ireland back for so long.
come back Maggie Thatcher.We have a job for you in Ireland
the reason why air rianta is being broken up is because the government want to satisfy their friends in big business. They have little consideration for the social and economic knock on effects it could have. for example a profit driven private company is not going going to continue giving 10 million in subsities to shannon airport as it would be considered "wasteful" this could spell disaster for industry in the area which is so dependant on the airport, thousands of jobs could be at stake.
Mary harney has to be the most arrogant tanaiste we have ever had she is threatening to walk out of government(which would be a good thing for everyone btw) if minister brennan refuses to privatise dublin bus. She says running it is a "burden" on the tax payer`s money, what does she expect? if we want to provide a good decent reliable bus service to everyone in dublin there is no way a profit can be made. dublin bus are dependant on state subsidies but thats a price worth paying for proper transport. A private company would hike fairs and cut non profitable routes leaving thousands without a bus service.
what sickens me most is that the government is using the lisbon strategy in order to push for the privitisation of all public services, yet they are not using the parts of the treaty which call for better wages and equality for the disabled. Profit before people epitomizes 7 years of Fianna Fail/PD administration. If they are short of money to run public services they should cancel the massive tax concessions given to rasehorse owners.
The only confronting the Sinners will do will be after dark with a couple of balaclavas and baseball bats.
And there is no way they'll go near O' Leary.
So now feck off Sinners, another example of crap opposition.
What sad bastard you are Jeff! is that the level of political debate your up to? Why don't you apply for a job as a columnist in the Sindo. By the way what are you trying to imply by saying the Shinners would never go near O'Leary? Is there some political point in this cryptic comment? I'm intrigued. Make sure to fill us all in you pathetic windbag!
What's your real point Jeff? Are you just a Shinner basher or do you have some better political alternative in mind?
of taxpayer monies.
Aer Rianta.
Govt subsised incompetant,[especially the rent a cop section who couldnt even deal with the crusties]heavily unionised,jobs for life attitude.GET RID OF IT
Ditto Dublin bus,CIE in all its new guises,
ESB,Aer Lingus.In fact ALL the semi state bodies.One of the reason the services in this country are shite,is because everyone who works in them knows they can be lazy, and total wasters and be almost impossible to fire.If they are threatened on being somwhat productive they can run off to their collective mummy to bawl.In a proper run ecnomy you would keep your job by being productive,not by inefficency.But efficency and the Irish dont fit in the same sentence.
trade unions are the best thing to ever happen to ireland. Prior to the connolly/larkin era workers worked insane hours and recieved meagre wages whilst the bosses took most of the wealth.Mary harney thinks that companies can be trusted to voluntarily respect the rights and needs of workers.PDs are just a subservient branch of IBEC
The best way to take on the bosses is where it hurts - in the workplace by organising a union. It's your constitutional right and new laws protect workers from victimisation. Get in touch if you want to know more.
If this i the case why dont SIPTU support the right of Dublin Bus workers to join the union of their choice?
What is actually happening is SIPTU and NBRU are activly helping Dublin Bus to stop people joining the IWU.
Could it be because SIPTU are more interested in keeping a closed shop for themselves and NBRU than they are in workers rights?
I have to laugh at this one:
"If Ireland is to move ahead in the 21st Century as a modern European state with respect for workers’ rights and clear blue water between political parties and big business, the likes of O’Leary should be faced down."
Looks like these Sinn Fein boyos have been doing a bit too much insular navel-gazing recently ....
Show me which modern "21st century" European State has "clear blue water between political parties and big business".
I can't think of a single one .... at least not among the "core" European states, i.e. the big ones like France and Germany ....
And looking at recent developments across Europe, "respect for worker's rights" is being steadily eroded .....
O'Leary is not some kind of unique Irish phenomenon .... he's just an Irish symptom of a much more widespread disease .......
Unfortunately it's cowboys like this who are steering the ship these days and I would hazard a guess that we'll be waiting some time before they are "faced down" by the Shinners or anyone else ...... especially since O Leary's corporate headquarters is probably in London anyway ......
