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.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

IAWM never made Shannon a priority during the height of the air war. That priority wasn't established then. Shannon has been left to a couple of unresourced diehards and the Catholic Workers banned from the area.
I know bertie and I'll tell him to give ye a ring when hes next expecting visitors, its awful unfair not being told, I though Ed Horgan knew everything - pass on his mobile as well
...as they're always counterproductive. The Irish public are sick of these rent-a-crowd demos. Now we have people having a problem with George's wife. You would do well to read Alexander Cockburn's comments about the left in this regard:
"...Laura Bush gives this great comedy routine where she makes fun of George Bush, Dick Cheney and her horrible mother-in-law and all these liberal wusses like David Corn in The Nation all say it was very shocking, and they wouldn't want to tell children what she said. If you want one single portrait of the utter decay of the liberal progressive so-called left, it's that they can't even laugh happily when Laura Bush makes a few jokes. They churn up inside and say that she was perhaps indecent. And now they're organizing a letter-writing campaign about her raunchy language."
"They're not being ironic?"
"No, they're not! This is what the left has come to. It's sickening."
Well, "Galloway Troll" first off - why do you ask "why this was not picked up on earlier?"
Did I miss a meeting?
Are you paying someone to monitor this for you?
Laura Bush may be George's wife, and her choreographed bad jokes are part of a PR plan to make ol' George look more like 'one of the guys' ... look at me, I bomb lots of countries, have nuclear weapons, but I still get nagged by my wife...
Apart from killing her ex-boyfried (by running him over) and marrying a murderer, she's small fry. It's not like they managed to sneak something huge past us all.
"The news reports were even filled (filed) from Shannon."
That doesn't mean that the journos were AT Shannon.
RTE journos sitting at a desk in Limerick have repeatedly filed stories as if they were an eyewitness at Shannon, when, more oftern than not they're writing a report based on what the Garda Press office or some local middle ranking Garda told them.
.
He's complaining about the numbnuts in the Democrats and the Greens that won't oppose the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq and spend their time wringing their hands over George Bush being stupid and Laura Bush being crass. (He may also want to spend the night with Laura covered in whipped cream and Anne Coulter in matching raspberry jam, but that's irrelevant to his central argument).
Well with a history of bundling those who jumped ship from the USSR at Shannon Airport in the '80's back on to the Russian planes to face the music at home....what would one expect from a Shannon resident considering 3 more deaths of people who past through your duty free. Shake them down for the last pint, slap the cannon fodder on the back and send them off to kill and be killed.
Shannon rsident helps us understand how those at Auscwhitz could hear the church bells from the local village and not expect help.
Shannon resident the issue at a pace of 30,000 troops a month is passing by your door step. Just have another pint and we'll wake you when your over.
Link to the latest casualties who took route Irish through Shannon's duty free.

You are over reacting.
The fact that Laura Bush came through Shannon Airport and there was no protest is a non issue. Simple. The author of this piece seems to be an idiot.
However the protest in Israel was very effective by being picked up by the worlds mainstream media.
Please note, before your next over reaction, that I am not saying that asylum seekers were not bundled back on to Russian plane's but you don't offer any proof and this amounts to heresay.
Do yourself proud and write something about this here and back your argument with a credible source. There is alot of people who read this thread that would appreciate a good report on this topic.
Its no very wise too compare Shannon Airport to Auscwhitz because it takes from the memory of what happened there and will eventually erode the power of words like "Holocaust, Death Camps, Nazi,.......''.
The young men and women that come through Shannon do not have anything in common with ''those at Auscwhitz'' and it is very wrong for you too use their memory for your little pissing contest.
Please let me remind you that there is plenty of Shannon residents commited to stopping Shannon Airport being used by the U.S. military machine.
I am one of many.
If you spent any time at the Peace Camp you would have met alot of residents who were opposed to the war and were delighted that there was a focus at Shannon Airport in the form of the camp. There was also alot of residents angry with us for setting up the camp for a multiude of reasons ranging from a fear of losing there job at the airport ( not an unrealistic notion for 500 hundred people) to having blindly consummed the propaganda set out by the various governments involved in the illegal war in Iraq. That includes Bertie and Co. Personally, I cant blame them, looking back to the bullshit that was pumped into there sitting rooms since 9/11.
Kind regards and i'm looking forward to meeting you sometime soon at Shannon.
