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 Saker >>

A Call for Solidarity with the Pit Stop Ploughshares

press release
 Tuesday May 09, 2006 13:59 by Pit Stop Ploughshares - on Trial Dublin Four Courts July 5th 2006 ploughsharesireland at yahoo dot ie At Large!
The War is the Crime!
***APPEAL****
To Help The
PIT STOP PLOUGHSHARES
(Deirdre Clancy, Nuin Dunlop, Karen Fallon, Damien
Moran, Ciaron O'Reilly)
ON TRIAL
Dublin Four Courts, July 5th. 2006
Dear Friends,
It has been a long journey to
trial for the "Pit Stop Ploughshares" community, since
our February 3rd, 2003, non-violent disarmament of a
U.S. Navy War Plane at Shannon Airport, Co. Clare,
Ireland.
It has been a long 3 years for our ploughshares
community, but a much longer two years for the
people of Iraq suffering an invasion, occupation and
plunder of their homeland.
The Irish State's attempt to criminalise our
non-violent act of peacemaking complements their
militarisation of the civilian Shannon Airport to
service the U.S. war machine. We are not alone, as
other peace activists, and also resisters within the
British and U.S. military are being dragged before
courts & court martials, imprisoned in jails &
stockades for their non-violent resistance to this
war. In war, authentic peacemaking is criminalized,
as killing, theft, torture, incineration, internment,
rape and sexual abuse are legitimised as policy.
*TRUTH THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR
Over the past three years the lies that were employed
to market this "illegal war" have been exposed;
-A WAR AGAINST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
No WMD has been found during the two years of
U.S./U.K. military occupation of Iraq.
-A WAR AGAINST TERRORISM
U.S. destruction of Iraqi civil society through its
1980's support for Saddam Hussein, 1990's imposition
of a genocidal sanctions regime and now a brutal
bombardment and military occupation has transformed
Iraq into a swamp of vengeance and a breeding ground
for terrorism.
- A WAR TO BRING SUPERIOR WESTERN VALUES TO THE
MIDDLE EAST
U.S. colonial rule by decree from Saddam's former
palace, trans-national privatisation of Iraqi
resources, and evidence of crimes Abu Ghraib &
Fallujah puts lie to this mirage.
Over the past three years, 100,000 Iraqis mostly women
and children have been slain. Over the last two
years, over 2,400 U.S. soldiers, many who passed
through Shannon Airport, have returned in body bags.
Uncounted thousands of Iraqis, Americans, Britons and
others have lost limbs, sanity, loved ones and homes.
As the late Peter Ustinov reflected, "War is the
terrorism of the rich; Terrorism is the war of the
poor"
Over the past three years, following our remand time
in Limerick Prison, the State has tried to keep the
Pit Stop Ploughshares in a state of suspended animation
on bail. We have tried to remain faithful to the
non-violent disarmament we undertook and vigilant to
continued Irish complicity in this war. We believe if the
Irish state granted us a fair trial,we would be acquitted
of all charges. We hope they will grant us one on their
third attempt.
We have refused to see our jail time, bail time,
2 trials thus far and the threat of future punishment as
apersonal predicament to evade or disown. We have
seen thesephases of our non-violent disarmament
witness as opportunities to speak truth to power and
to expresssolidarity with the people of Iraq & the young
Americans being shuttled through Shannon to Iraq, to
kill and die for the rich and powerful.
We are on a journey inspired by the ancient prophecy
of Micah and Isaiah to "beat swords into ploughshares
and study war no more". We invite you to join us on
this journey.
We see our act of "beating swords into ploughshares"
at Shannon Airport as a non-violent gift of faith
enfleshed, hope enacted and freedom offered at a
time when the war machine is deployed at full throttle
to invade, occupy and plunder. In turn, we have been
sustained over the past two years by the gifts of
solidarity from old friends and new. Gifts of
hospitality, friendship, transport, musical talent,
legal expertise have accompanied us through the
roller coaster ride of the courts. A judicial process
designed to isolate, intimidate, and defeat the war
resister. The only sustenance we have is our faith
and your solidarity.
We hope to join with you to take this witness of
non-violent resistance to the ongoing war to
Dublin’s Four Courts from July 5th., 2005.
We hope our trial, beginning on July 5th., will
be a time of celebration and a catylyst fornon-violent
opposition to the war. We hope friends from around
Ireland, and from overseas, will gather in Dublin to
celebrate non-violent disarmament as an authentic
option for
the human family.
We hope the trial will non-violently confront the
U.S., British and Irish institutions that continue
to wage war on the people of Iraq. We hope other acts
of nonviolent resistance and solidarity will grow out
of the trial and our time together - whether we are
acquitted or imprisoned.
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF FUNDS TO BRING RELEVANT
WITNESSES TO COURT TO TESTIFY TO THE NATURE OF THE
HIGH CRIMES INFLICTED IN IRAQ AND TO FACILITATE
OUTREACH IN THE LEAD UP AND THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL.

23rd Dail
Australian Wheat Board Oil for food contraversy. Contracts not democracy http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/05/340329.html
Australian national televison news carried Australian Prime Minister Howard attempting to hold an outdoor press conference in Washington DC today (Sunday). He was continually interrupted/distracted by a solo anti-war person demanding he withdraw Australian troops form Iraq. The man spoke from across the road. his voice and message were carried around Australia today.
As secret service lead the man away he turned to the camera and tated "Look, it only takes one person to speak the truth"
Australian Prime Minister Howard andf chief Bush cheer leader is due to address the Dail in the next two weeks.
OZ Mainstream media reorted a few weeks ago that Howard would be addressing the Dail in May.
Maybe call a sympathetic TD and sak for details.
'Howard will be addressing the Dail soon, so maybe you could take some of these issues up with him?'
When??!
yeah something should be done about that
Hey Folks,
Looking forward to "putting the band back together" (Jake & Elwood) and taking this thang to a third trial. I've been back in OZ since early Feb. Have been keeping busy doing anti-war talks in schools, churches, on campuses and some straight and alternative media. Here's some stuff....
Speaking at Murdoch Uni, Perth

Somewhere in Between Media/Triple J Hack Interview
http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/podcast/podcast.xml
I'm available to do school, uni, church, peace group pre-trial/anti-war talks, weddings, parties, anything back in Ireland from June 10th. If you can organise a speaking event just email ploughsharesireland@yahoo.ie or phone mobile 087 918 4552
It's been good to be back in OZ, primarily hanging out with the folks, chasing down old friends. The politics is screwed government deploying more troops to Afghanistan, another Australian death in Iraq,, some Catholic Workers have been hit with a Defence Act from 1952 that has never been used before for their December citizens inspection of US NSA base at Pine Gap, PM Howard has just ruled (in repsonse to the West Papuans arrival & facist Indonesian demands) that all refugees making it the shoreline will be imprisoned off shore in Naru etc. Howard will be addressing the Dail soon, so maybe you could take some of these issues up with him?
Sad news is that local muso Grant McLennan of the "Go Betweens" died at 48 in our neighborhood this past weekend. The "Go Betweens" like "The Saints" were one of the great bands that emerged out of the hillbilly repression trhat was Queensland in the late '70's.
See you soon, seems like some great signs of resurgence in anti-war activity in Ireland of late. Keep the faith.
If you think you can offer floor space to an international peace activist for a few nights during the trial. (any dates between July 5-19th...from experience the need for accommdation is higher at the start of the trial).
Please email the dates & numbers you can accommodate to ploughsharesireland@yahoo.ie
