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.

couldent get there
work to do down the country
well done to all
ireland has more or less given the thumbs up to the kyoto agreement now by dumping the carbon tax.
maybe in the words of the SLF tune, now its a
"state of emergency"
anyway
heres link to fritjof capra webcast(archive), one of the "berkley lectures" that we will soon be screening, starhawk will also be giving a lecture (she is a peace activist who was up at the mayday media centre with us and participated in the mayday weekend)

his talk outlines, very simply, how the present state of things is absolutly unsustainable and how it needs to be changed through action and education
so by seeing it perhaps more peeople will be out on bikes next time
Watching Car Free Day reports on Euro News this morning it looks like it was generally a damp squib around Europe.
Don't know it's origins but it feels like a day that emerged to co-opt/ buy off the grassroots enviro movement of the early '90's.
Looking around Dublin yesterday doesn't look like the role of the private motor vehicle in choking up the city is not being seriously addressed. News that the trend in China is to get off the push bike and into the private motor vehicle sounds apocalyptic!
Got to Memorial Gardens pretty early after walking in from home. Lots of Gards there before 6pm kick off. The weather was turning badly for the event.
It was a pretty moderate roll up from cyclists, skaters & pedestrians for such a big day on the critical of car movement calender. As always a criticism of numbers isn't blaming the people who showed up more a reflection on those who didn't! A pretty big roll up from the Garda on cyles, on foot, in vans, on motor bikes. The Garda remained pretty well behaved throughout.
The vibe was good heading down O'Connel. When we hit Dame there was a bit of criticism from one punter waitng for a bus he perceived we were holding up. Most folks at bus stops and on footpaths were curious....there was a real need for a leaflet explaining what we were doing. Maybe a general critical mass leaflet addressing public transport & other related issues couldbe produced and used every month. One guy was handing out leaflets promoting Speakers Square and they were being snapped up eagerly by folks waiting for buses etc. So there's definitely a market there!
The whole thing was generally good. But like a lot of these anarcho events there's a lack of an ability to end well- an end game to go with the promoted beginning. Instead of ending well and sharply with maximum numbers....the event ended at best in dissapation at worst with a few isolated indivduals blocking traffic way too long.
Moving cars are very dangerous, they kill people on a daily basis. Road rage abounds & is nothing new to RTS, Critical Mass events.
I've seen two protestors run over at similar events in Melbourne & London. It'sunderstandable tha peolpe who cylcle in Dublin daily see Critical Mass & RTS as a rare opportunity to vent against motorists. But we got to keep it political rather than therapeutic. We got to keep it inclusive rather than PC elitest - bus drivers and people who regularly use buses are not our enemies!
All in all CM in Dublin yesterday was a lot better than nothing. Keep rockin' Hope the critical stuff here is taken in the spirit of respect that it was written. Always good to act, reflect, and act again- see you at the next one!
As somebody who participated in yesterday's Critical Mass I agree with "Participant"'s comments above. On a much more serious note just to prove why we need a Reclaim The Streets and Critical Mass I came across a very serious accident on Dame Street at it's junction with Sussex Street involving a truck and a female cyclist just after the Critical Mass had finished up. Dame Street was closed for over 1/2 hour whilst the emergency services freed the cyclist. Amazingly she survived and was brought to St. James Hospital. I believe her condition is stable now. She was extremely lucky to survive. This shows why need to get the trucks and private cars off our city centres. Only the Irish Examiner as far as I am aware out of all of the media print and broadcast even mentioned this accident.
