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.

pls just don't bring your car or scooter.
highlights point that for 1 hour bikes make a small traffic jam while every day cars make traffic jams
theres another bike ride on sunday, the greenway cycle that goes around the 2 canals and stops off in the phoenix park for a picnic: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/75672
I remember reading that the average speed of a car in Dublin city centre within the two canals is 12km/hr whereas the average speed of a bike in the same area is 14km/hr.
show on newstalk at present about bikes in the city
http://www.newstalk106.ie/
and also a very good article about how a successful critical mass campaign can affect big change in the city landscape
http://criticalmass.hu/english
Dublin's Biggest Ever Critical Mass Ride (500-700) with lots of great links to irish bike culture
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=64716
and maybe with a few bike workshops we might have our own rinky dink (pedal, solar, wind powered bike machine / sound system / usable sculpture

last year there was also the international Velo City conference in Dublin, during which they organised a docklands cycle in which 2,500 people cycled around.

would be good to get their summing up on how the event went

What has CM ever achieved that's positive? Most of the people pushing CM as something that brings change are in favour of feckin bike lanes which are practically proven to be dangerous to cyclists (puts them in the inside and sets them up for getting smucked by left-turning vehicles). The other notable achievements of CM have been the practical criminalisation of bicycling in major US cities because all the cops assume that cyclists are anti-republican anarchists.
CM is a pointless waste of time based upon the lie of being "leaderless".

so Biking without fools - what do you propose, what have you done about it, will we see you for the greenway cycle tomorow
as one of the fools with little brain, id appreciate all your insight and ideas into how we can make the greenway idea a reality, how we can make the city more sustainable, how we can make the city car free
thanks in advance to you and others for positive assistance
dunk
You won' t be seeng me on your Greenway rubbish or on Critical Mass. The last thing I want is some fecking greenway where cyclists are shunted off the main roads and onto some poorly maintained, badly lit greenway that doesn't go where I want to go.
The single thing that could be done do improve cycling conditions in dublin is to remove the god awful bike paths and cyclie lanes and what have you that "cycle campaigners" and CM lobbied to get.
Following from that we could take all the unlicensed drivers off the road, take the HGVs out of the city, confiscate and sell the cars of people with 3 penalty points and more, construct secure parking for bikes WITH GUARDS in multiple locatins throughout the city, slap higher taxes on cars and put more buses out there.
You can keep your ineffective greenway rubbish and I sure as hell won't be there.
On the subject of cycle lanes, I'd agree with the above poster that most cycle lanes in the greater Dublin area are shit. But some are good and even some of the mediocre ones have the effect of reducing two lanes of cars into one lane of cars and one of bikes resulting in more space for cyclists where previously there was none.
However it's important to note that critical mass is not a lobby group, has never lobbied for anything and by it's very nature never can. It's an event with many different people attending and with different motivation for doing so. From my own experience of attending the events over the past four years or so, I've noticed quite a few cycle ampaigners who are strongly opposed to the recent proliferation of cycle lanes. In addition, the statutary instrument requiring mandatory use of cycle lanes is acknowledged by many - if not the vast majority of - cycle campaigners to be one of the biggest legislative obstacle facing cyclists in Ireland.
The rest of "Biking without fools" suggestions all strike me as being decent starting points for debate. If we could achieve half of them, I'd be a much happier road user.
critical mass is grand,
were doing it in cork too , its relatively small but with a good energy , but hopefuly with more people
helping spread the word , and with more fliers and stickers that should be made in time for the next one,more people will come .
we meet at Daunt square the last friday of the month 6pm
i think it is very important that the cylists , make a noise , bring whistles ,bells drums , whatever they can , and that a message or image is given , flags , banners ,ect
bike can be adapted quickly before the event ,we made flags very quickly with gafa tape and willow,
this not only makes the event more fun, it gives a larger pressents , and i recon it will help the event grow................................make a noise,
be bright
say something.
id love to have a flag on my bike all the time , probably with a canceled out car,
but i recon it would atract the wrong sort of atention and some wan£#r might kick my wheels?
any way lets make it bigger next time
