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.

Australia?s Claim to Have Helped Bring Peace to Gaza After Recognising ?State of Palestine? is Beyon... Sat Oct 18, 2025 09:00 | Dr James Allan
Australia's attempt to share credit for bringing peace to Gaza after recognising a 'State of Palestine' and making repeated calls for an under-siege Israel to restrain itself is beyond risible, says Prof James Allan.

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1yesterday in France has caused lots of tributes to pour in this afternoon from luminaries as luminous as Chirac (who used quote Ricoeur many times), and the Pope, (who's very brainy) distracting many thinkers from the Eurovision song contest, and the handy new 10€ coin commemorating William Rowan Hamilton, one of the most bizarre linguist / mathematicians / specimens to come out of XIX century Ireland. you can read about Ricouer here-

And here is a letter which touches upon some of the themes which Derrida worked with in his last years.
Coz, I want you all to know, that philosophy is not just about wrecking the heads of undergraduates who thought it might be an easy study option, or even about filling bookshelves with tomes that no-one really reads (unless they're sure they're going to publish a related essay) No- Not a bit of it. Modern day, tippy toppy philosophy has moved on and out, and now thinkers are more than willing to engage in precarious work like the rest of us, and are intent on practical application of the theories which have been developed in the last century on such areas as materialism, ethics, hermeneutics, phenomonology, epistomology and deconstruction. Yes indeedy. Philosophy is getting its hands dirty.
Here's an interesting interview with Jurgen Habermas, whom the religious site wikipedia would have you believe is a bosom body of Benedict XVI, in which he treats upon the surprising alliance between Derrida (the man above) and himself against Bush and though their joint efforts surprised many (they had been at intellectual logerheads for years in the 80s infamously resorting to persistent troll comments in the superstar philosopher web blog sites and even at one point graffiti tagging each other houses).
They asked Paul Ricoeur to help them in this, but he couldn't coz he was too political at that stage, being "intellektshual" to the Elysee. (we don't have an Irish equivalent for that, because all our intellektshuals leave before they're recognised and generally have done a stint washing dishes, bricklaying or begging). We do have conor cruise o brien though. And he seems to serve the needs.
http://www.logosjournal.com/habermas_america.htm
I suppose Habermas is going to pop it soon.
"It's all about memory. Selective and Collective memory. Memory as fetishised community. Communality as fetishised memorial"
(that's me).
"Deridada"
haha!
The old man would of loved that term!
Who's to say who's really "dead" or "alive" anyway, when you really think about it?
The deconstruction school found adherents in Literature, Music, Art, Psychoanlysis, Cryptology, Philsophy and Politics.
If you could take it apart and see how it was made, you went and grabbed the hard disc brought it somewhere and quietly derridadaded it.
Derrida wrote
To 'deconstruct' philosophy, thus, would be to think -- in a most faithful, interior way -- the structured genealogy of philosophy's concepts, but at the same time to determine -- from a certain exterior that is unqualifiable or unnameable by philosophy -- what this history has been able to dissimulate or forbid, making itself into a history by means of this somewhere motivated repression.
His political philosophy defied definition.
But the Irish academic Richard Kearney contrasted himwith Levinas as a thinker for whom ethical questions were intrinsically ontological.
To be honest, I thought the advent of microsoft word count and linux wcp, meant that derridadading things had become too easy. And I was almost irrevocably turned off Brahms after sitting through the compulsary music deconstruction lectures of my youth.
But decompose peacefully
history will be good to you.
