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.

the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland
Easter
Dear Ógliagh na hÉireann,
Thanks for the offer but you're all right we can look after ourselves.
Thanks for the thought though.
Happy Easter to you and the balaclava bunch.
Its good to see them still in fashion
not a fashion accessory
"Responce from the people of Ireland"
Thanks for speaking for the whole country there(?)
MOST of the country(Republicans included) will reject scum like the RIRA I am sure,but then again,I can't speak for everyone.I consider myself a socialist first, but I do believe in the end of partition, but a group of,for lack of a better word-scum like the RIRA play no role
After their defeat in 1916 I believe the rebels were called that name numerous times by people like protect . Perhaps he could explain why these people are scum and the others werent . Despite people calling them scum too .
Are you comparing Ógliagh na hÉireann with the Patriots?
Get real!
We all know what Ógliagh na hÉireann are. Protect told us twice!
Go away you were never wanted and are not wanted now.
Those that talk about dying for Ireland (like Ógliagh na hÉireann ) only make others die for Ireland.
so nobody died in 1916 then .
There was a time when armed struggel was an appropriate strategy, that time has passed. We are now in a position of great opportunity to achieve a United Ireland.
The time of the Armalite in one hand and a ballot box in the other has progressed into a ballot box being held firmly with both hands.
Tiocfaidh ar la.
the top photo - the dude with the gun.
did he pose for this indymedia post?
or did you just pull it out from the archives?
it may have escaped your notice Donal but a ballot box is useless against a british enforced loyalist veto . Orange votes are woth more than republican ones in Ireland and thats official . Hence the need for a gun .
"We remember with pride the ten Óglaigh na hÉireann and INLA volunteers who died 25 years ago in the pursuit of political status and we reaffirm, in their memory, our commitment to the ending of British rule in Ireland and the restoration of national democracy and national sovereignty."
good to hear . Keep her lit !!
democracy , sovereignty and political status still denied
Still some rebels around thank God
Time to go after shell !!
so... was the top photo posed for indymedia
- or did you just respost it from the archives?
it does matter.
if its an old photo, that means one thing.
if its a new photo, that means something else.
why dont you do the same . failing that explain your curiosity , and what you reckon it means
These photographs were taken in the last year and scanned from a publicity calendar . As the curious individual has such an interest in them heres a few more . And a video of Ógliagh na hÉireann as well.

on exercise
still armed and ready
'These photographs were taken in the last year and scanned from a publicity calendar'
thank you for the reply.
not sure what a 'publicity calendar' is - but the photos are from the last year.
not sure why people are so touchy about the question - you posted the photos as news.
and underlining the contents expressed in it they are news
You are not wanted.
Go away.
This is a new Ireland.
We never wanted you and we never needed you.
Go away.
By the way the denim jeans stick out a mile! They would also absorb a lot of water and are very unsuitable for wearing outdoors. Any Scout worth his badges could tell you that.
But as you should know Elvis , jeans are cool and an expression of non-conformity and rebellion . Now calm down
but he never meant f**k all to me, straight out racist the sucker was simple and plain motherf**k him and John Wayne.
Too young to die too fat too live...
"Ireland unfree shall never be at peace".
The slogan never changes just the initials.
Whether the letters used are RIRA, CIRA, or 32CSC doesn't matter.
The fact is the primary reason for the struggle still exists,
therefore the struggle will continue.
And in all struggles the brave are the few
while the sidelines are lined three deep with sheep.
First of all, it is:
Óglaigh Na hÉireann (You spelt it wrong) (It stand for Irish Volunteers or Irish Army)
Secondly, Óglaigh Na hÉireann did not release any statement like the above over easter.
Óglaigh Na hÉireann was marching down O' Connell st. in Dublin on Easter Sunday as 120,000 people cheered & watched on (Certainly a lot more support than any other army wannabees have).
Yes, Óglaigh Na hÉireann are to the Irish Defence Forces, the proud descendents of the Irish Volunteers.
all others are just wannabes and walters.
The true Óglaigh Na hÉireann
The IDF ( photo provided above ) are defenders of the establishment in the 26 counties, this as you well know is not the Army representing Ireland, but only the jurisdiction covered by the Act of Ireland Act 1921, ( a partitioned island ) as both the Volunteers and the IRA ( 1919 first Dail Eireann ) were 32 county organisations, it is logical that the IDF are not the inheritors of the title: IRISH ARMY as Ireland is not yet united.
"The IDF ( photo provided above ) are defenders of the establishment in the 26 counties, this as you well know is not the Army representing Ireland, but only the jurisdiction covered by the Act of Ireland Act 1921, ( a partitioned island ) as both the Volunteers and the IRA ( 1919 first Dail Eireann ) were 32 county organisations, it is logical that the IDF are not the inheritors of the title: IRISH ARMY as Ireland is not yet united."
I draw you attention to articles 2,3 and 4 of the Constitution. Especially Article 4
Article 4
The name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland.
The 26 counties is Ireland....the Republic of Ireland.....Éire.
The 6 counties is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland..... or also known as Northern Ireland on it own.
The 26 counties is Ireland. Óglaigh Na hÉireann is the Army of Ireland.
Also
IDF stands for Isreali defence forces.
The Irish Army is not the IDF, it is known as Óglaigh Na hÉireann
What happned to the republican spirit men like pat sheehan quote pearse and connelly while leaving oout thier most important sayings like an ireland unfree shall never be at peace or to fight is to win to not have fought is to lose. The RIRA are carrying on irelands lifelong tradtion of resistance through force of arms they are heroes well done
These lads really do need to learn to march properly.
Half of them do it like they have a severe dose of the shits and they're trying their best to hold it in.
Might be more beneficial than poncing around in fields dressed in combat jackets and looking like something out of a bad 1970s B movie.
Hello all who read this,
The greatest weapon an Irishman has is a broad smile and a friendly handshake,
GOD BLESS ALL THE IRISH FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
RIP Bobby Sands
RIP Liam Clancy
