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.

a cold hearted bitch who wanted pensioners to live out thier lives in compounded misery for not being little tigers, and has ignored the plight of the poor wrteches with badly tuned brains who couldn't take the drugs her biotech developed.
Use this day to tell her.
you glee at the failure of the one drug that have offered hope to many MS sufferers is pretty sick. you are doing a dance on their shattered hopes just becuse you can use it as a stick to beat Mary Harney with.
I suppose in your world that is alright because it is in the name of some cause or other.
if you have problems with her connection with Elan then spell them out but your crude attempts at humour on this topic probabley are a substitute for facts.
And Harney took the credit,
so what's wrong with her taking the fall?
You would think with a pharmacologist PD minister in her team she would have access to the best advice.
wouldn't you?
they say smoking cannabis is good for MS you know.

I occasionally work in pharm you know.
btw. Mammy&Granny Harney, it looks like
Elan is going to be liquidated / split up.

doctors ( and students ) who engage in embryonic stem cell research.
This affects our national biotech bench mark stock, which has recovered from the shocking news reported in the article above, to be quite profitable again.
It also affects students in DCU, UCD and TCD ( in order of graduate career option )
Another great piece of forward planning by the FF / PD regime. Creating jobs, keeping their stock dealing cronies happy, and all for what?????
excommunication.
link to British scientists' angry reaction to this proposal which apparantly is going to be one of the themes of the "5th global family conference" which starts tomorrow in Valencia Spain. For those of you who don't know much about excommunication, it really isn't as bad as the old days. No-one is going to burn your hovel down, or indeed you at a stake in the village square. In fact modern excommunication is not really a very public affair, you don't get letters or certificates - you simply expelled from the RC communion and have no right to take the wafer anymore. Of course if no-one knows you've done something to merit excommunication (long list) ( ranges from performing or choosing an abortion to experimenting with eggs to performing blood rituals on warships) you can still walk up proudly that alter rail & take the host in your mouth. BUT it won't be transubstantiated into the flesh of Christ anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes for verily it will only be a bit of tasteless bread.

My younger brother grew up in an area of high unemployment in western Dublin and studied hard for the Leaving Certificate, doing particularly well in the "unseen poem" section, though some members of the local "parents against drugs" denigrated his results claiming it was only because he had sat the exams as gaeilge . Well understandably with that calumny behind him, a career in poetry review was unthinkable and so our parents who had voted for Mary Harney since she was a FF backbencher took out a series of bank loans to allow him study genetic engineering at DCU. He then went on to be one of those people at the freezer and microscope you seen on the telly. Sadly my younger brother died tragically last November ( I don't want to go into the details out of respect for my ma & da ) [who are avid readers of your site by the way]
What I want to know is this! will this excommunication thing be back-dated?
We took out a number of bank loans to cover the plenary indulgences requisite to reducing his time in purgatory ( to be honest he was no angel ) and had hoped by 2016 he'd be in heaven. Without being a "know-all", I do believe that all women who aborted before the 19th century were not excommunicated, and that women in the medieval period were not even thought to be committing a mortal sin. But of course the facilitator of the abortion got burnt at the stake & is surely in Hell with Pol Pot. So basically, the celtic tiger is a bit mangey now, and we as a family can't afford to take out any more bank loans to buy the plenary indulgences, & the way I look at it is this - - - If he's gone to hell, then its a waste of mass cards. That much said, I can't help being a smart-arse & wonder will he get moved about? one year he's just a recuperable sinner - this weekend he's as hell bound as a spanish lefty.
Please give me and my family an answer soon. My da has always been a bit of an entrepeneur, and has a bonded warehouse full of viagra, swearing it keeps the elderly couples faithful & on the track. He's convinced all we have to do is buy a plenary indulgence which lasts 5 months to a year for every day of our remaining lives to appeal to The Lord's Ifinite Mercy . I tell him that sounds very protestant. Anyway, the only way my father the loveable entrepeneur and PD voter can raise the cash is advertising the Viagra on your newswire lists.
So you'll appreciate this is an urgent matter. gurggle ribbid gilgamesh & gibberish fuck the pope, but obviously not literally - There may be children reading.
