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.

since last year in dublin we have set up 2 new community gardens and made attempts to create a greenway for the city. we hope to do more and more, a lot of people from all walks of life and backrounds are involved; its a really great project to be invovled in- we hope to push it more this year
mosaic art bench/ ground art
ruths proposal for a mosaic piece in dolphins barn garden is great
maybe a little, or not so little, mosaic bench could be made like gaudi's lovely bench in parc guel in barcelona, see link for more images
maybe this could be a really nice event to happen during the paddys weekend
architect herman hertzberger did a community garden in a housing block exactly like this; invited the whole community for a big day or weekend of smashing plates and setting bits in benches, really lovely stuff
communication- article
we are trying to take things up a step with communication about the project and to whom- we are currently putting an article together about the project ; greening the city, sustainable cities, community invovlement, dolphins barn garden, phibsboro garden and a lot more....... we hope to circulate this around so the article is a joint effort
communication- website
we said in the garden last sunday that we could do a worksop to update the website, include links to a lot of the stuff which is all over the place at the moment ; audio, posters, text, links to other gardens etc.... we can pick a date for this later
communication- exhibition
the exhibition we had in dolphins barn public library might make its way to phibs library soon
we had a greening the city stall at the anarchist bookfair which went down pretty well, audio and film interviews were done, more on that later
greening the city ; because we have only 1 home
communication- film
we are trying to get vid cameras down to get stuff to make a short film with revolt
communication- website
perhaps we could contact duncan stewarts eco eye show and see if he would highlight the project
communication- outreach
further outreach is needed, maybe we can make up a groovy poster to put up around the dolphins barn, teresas gardens, rialto, fatima mansions area, shop windows, community centres etc- also submit it and article to all local newsletters, websites etc
communication- network
improved system to network with other irish groups etc, should come into website, but maybe a few visits later in the year, and also with seed savers and celt in clare
the phibs crew are getting a riseup list similar to dolphins barn list
paddys weekend
really make a lovely event for paddys weekend
that weekend will be followed by a weekend in phibs garden.
