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.

Take a hike
You are talking pure nonsense. Ferris has been one of a very few TDs who has pursued this issue consistently since the last election. He has placed dozens of questions, some of which have uncovered crucial information about the scandal that lies behind this. He and other shinners have done trojan work on the campaign, much of it unnoticed because they are not turning everything into press releases. Also the co-operation between shinners, anarchists, socialists, greens and others on this has been exemplary.
"Mine is that the Rossport 5 and the local community have been hijacked. I think people have started to realise this."
I suggest if you really in your true heart of souls belive this you tell the Gardai Immediately that a local community has been hijacked by persons unknown. It sounds very illegal.
That's the point of the comment really though isn't it. Make something that is just a blunt unsubstantiated assertion into a ball, add a bit of lingo that suggests illegality (hijacked) and trow it in the general direction of mayo and hope (like Goebbels etc) that some of the extremely badly processed bullshit sticks
State anything resembling an objectively verifiable fact that backs up this very shaky dribbly assertion.
Hal you are talking absolute crap. The locals do not believe that the issue has been hijacked and they have carefully and intelligently run the campaign from Rossport. It is the locals who run the campaign in Rossport not any political party. Jerry Crowley the independent TD has even been excluded from their meetings as he is a politician. You see Hal you don't know anything about the campaign, you are entiltled to your opinions and nobody said or even suggested that you aren't. What I am saying is that your opinion is completely ill informed and you are also in complete denial believing you know whats going on, you don't have a clue.
i do have a grasp of the campaign - and from what i see it is misguided. I am entitled to an opinion just like you. Mine is that the Rossport 5 and the local community have been hijacked. I think people have started to realise this.
i would safely say that i have a better grasp on the issue that you. Sorry if you dont like that!
Ferris has been involved in the campaign for quite a while now. He was involved before the men were jailed and before the issue got any publicity. It's a pity Hal that you don't have a grasp on even the basic knowledge of the campaign
What grasp does Ferris have on the issues? I have seen no evidence - in fact the opposite!
The other speakers are fine, but what the hell do the SWP have a speaker for.
The SWP's membership has slumped dramatically. Tralee is no different. They should not have a speaker. They only get involved in campaigns to take something from it, be it members or paper sales, and never to add to the campaign.
It is irrelevant who organised the meeting. Speakers are good cross section of people including Mark Garavan and Martin Ferris who have sound grasp of the issues at stake. Sounds like an interesting evening.
>> Did the SWP organise this?
probally had somting to to with it,
Why would the SWP have a speaker at this?
coz they proballly organised the talk
>> The only SWP member in Kerry has a place on the platform for what reason?
i doubt he is the only SWP member in Kerry
>> Are they still maintaing their tired and failed tactics?
dunno, but at least these issues are being raised in Tralee, fair play to them for that.
maybe the reason there is a swp guy on the panel was that FF, FG, PD's et al, are ' maintaing their tired and failed tactics' sitting in front of the fire with their legs up.
