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.

WE Sinn Féin councillors call on the Government to intervene as a matter of urgency to secure the release of the five Co Mayo protesters known as the Rossport Five.
The Government bent over backwards to create the situation where Shell and its associates could have untrammelled access to the Irish people’s natural resource.
All over the world, and particularly in Nigeria, Shell has shown little concern for human rights in their quest for enormous profits.
The Government should now, late as it is, stand up for its citizens and intervene to secure the release of five Irishmen who are opposing this multinational trampling over their property.
The Government fashioned the situation where people going about their ordinary lives find themselves on the wrong side of the law.
They should stop hiding behind the legal system in order to give unquestioning support to this multinational conglomerate and work instead to secure the rights of the people in Co Mayo.

>>Members of the European Left/Nordic Greens have requested the Chairperson of a delegation to Norway from the Parliament to ask the Norwegian Government to instruct Statoil to use its influence to stop all activity on the pipeline pending an agreement that addresses the concerns of the imprisoned men.
Lucky us! If power were devolved to local people in a real and meaningful way, the ordinary people of Erris and Ireland would be reaping the long term benefits of offshore gas.
To hell with Shell-StatOil and to hell with the EU and the Dublin government! Power to the people!
The European United Left/Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) group in the European Parliament to which Sinn Fein's two MEP's belong have issued a statement on the case of the Rossport 5 and the Corrib Gas pipeline:
Environment policy co-ordinator of the GUE/NGL EU parliamentary group, MEP Jonas Sjöstedt, has condemned in the strongest possible terms the decision to imprison five farmers from Rossport in County Mayo, Ireland and called on the Norwegian Government to instruct Statoil, a Norwegian state owned company, to freeze the project until agreement has been reached on the farmers' concerns.
The men were imprisoned for contempt of court in a dispute with Corrib Gas, a conglomerate made up of Shell, Marathon and Statoil. The company wants to install a gas pipeline on agricultural land owned by the farmers. Due to Health and Safety concerns the farmers in question are unwilling to allow the work to proceed, which has led to them being jailed. As Statoil is a Norwegian state owned company, said MEP Sjöstedt, we call upon the Norwegian Government to instruct Statoil to freeze the project until such time as agreement has been reached on the farmers' concerns.
Sinn Féin MEP Mary Lou McDonald said:
"Multinational companies do not care about local communities - their overriding concern is profit. Corrib gas is completely under the control of a company that can write off all its tax, pays no royalties and sells the
gas back to the Irish state at market value.
"We want to take this opportunity to express our solidarity with those who
have been imprisoned and call for their immediate release.
"We believe that pipelines such as these should come under the terms of the
Seveso Directive on the transport of hazardous materials."
