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 5Midland radio (102 fm?) are interviewing him in a few minutes. He was interviewed earlier today by RTE, could be on News at One. More details later...
well folks they're on the flat and over the pale.
In canal, bog and prison country.
Vicarstown County Laois
near Athy on the Barrow line is popular with boaters on the canal preparing to explore the River Barrow. It's varyingly described as an attractive port on the Grand Canal, and a useful base for walking, cycling, boating and fishing. It isn't often decribed as being useless for provisions. (It doesn't have a single shop). Buildings of interest include the 1860s Grattan School and Grattan Lodge (built in 1882 by Henry Grattan's Grand-daughter Lady Pauline Grattan Bellew). There is a pub and a concrete jetty. Vicarstown does not have any shop @ all so the bi-revolutionary Rothar cadre will need to be prepared.
(make up your morning snacks in Crosskeys)
Stradbally County Laois.
Originally a community associated with the monastery at Mon au Bealing founded in the sixth-century by St. Colman Mac Laoighse. The Normans dominated in the thirteenth century. The Franciscans came in 1447, but the village in 1550 was still a small cluster of cottages. By 1734 it still had only two stone houses and a few mud cabins. Its present form was established by 1740, slowly extending along the Maryborough-Carlow road and around the square towards Stradbally Hall, the home of the Cosby family under whose patronage and influence the village developed.
A village with an active community spirit, it continues to improve its appearance and rating in the national Tidy Towns competition. The annual Stradbally Steam Rally organized by the Irish Steam Preservation Society at the beginning of August on the bank-holiday weekend is justly famous. There is a Steam Museum opposite the 1870s labourers cottages.
SO!
don't go dropping litter after lunch.
At the moment, outside Vicarstown, going to Stradballey for lunch.
Met in Kildare by Gerry from the Kildare anti-war group, and camped in Ken's field last night. Thanks to everyone for the lovely barbecue.
This morning, cycled off through Crosskeys, and picked up a copy of the Irish Times to see their picture on the cover.
Did an interview for Midlands radio a few minutes ago, will be broadcast at 1.
Got a call from RTE news at one this morning, while the camp was being broken up, and was interviewed over the phone, that should be broadcast in a few minutes.
There are now seven cyclists on the road and one more in the support car, two more joining tonight.
The bikers say they'd like to dedicate this leg of the journey to Anne Behan an activist and environmentalist from the Kildare anti-war group, who sadly died recently.
If you want to join the cycle at any stage, the route for the next few days is at the link below. More updates tomorrow lunchtime.
(Apologies from Ray for any errors in transmission)
Anyone know roughly how many are on the Bikes against Bush trail, at the moment??
And has anyone got any idea of figures for Saturdays anti-bush marches - Dublin, Cork, Galway???
Best of luck to all the bikers, ye're doing a great job!!!
Seven cyclists, one support in the car. There are two more joining tonight. I don't know how many people took part in earlier stages, or if there are more planning to join in later.
