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.

Pipeline protesters seek picket of Statoil stations
Last updated: 21-07-05, 16:11
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2005/0721/breaking56.htm
The five Mayo men jailed for their protests against the proposed pipeline from the Corrib gas field have called for a picket of Statoil stations in the Dublin area tomorrow.
Statoil is a 36.5 per cent shareholder in the consortium that owns the Corrib gas field.
The protesters want Statoil to apply the same environmental and health and safety standards to the Corrib gas field as they would in Norway. All of Norway's oil and gas is processed on offshore platforms.
The Norwegian government is the majority shareholder in Statoil.
In Mayo, the Shell-led consortium plans to process the gas on-shore and pump the raw gas under high pressure through a nine-mile pipeline. Local residents stress that they are opposed to this method of refining rather than the exploitation of the gas.
Last week the protesters handed in a letter to the Norwegian embassy calling on the Norwegian government to ensure that the refining of the gas took place offshore.

is following S(Hell) Mayo story too (along with a lot of other international stories that seem to be about local people getting screwed by Big Oil in co-operation with "their" governments).
I wonder what the Iraqi people would have to say about fairness and rights to the Mayo people?
Probably not the most priority point but that photo in the Norwegian newspaper clip is from Shop Street in Galway. I think the shop Window is McCambridges isn't it?
The group are around Tommy's protest stall if I ain't wrong.
A similar photo is up elsewhere on this site.
& what a swizz, had hoped that those Statoil chappies might see some sense in what they were being asked. I guess bad business corrupts & infects eh?

Great to see details of the protest in Aftenposten, the Norwegian equivalent of the Irish times\Independent although not quite as conservative and rightwing. Should make the news I hope. Had earlier emailed the editors at indymedia on how I could bring the protest to Norwegian attention, but looks like someone has beaten me to it.
Funny that there is nothing on Indymedia.no about this or indeed any sign of interest in organising a protest.
As a paddie living in Norway I feel compelled to protest at a shell or statoil station near me, or maybe Statoil offices in Oslo, any other Irish in Norway want to join me in planning a protest somewhere? Ph or txt me on 99293097
