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 >>

Statement from a volunteer observor St patricks Cathedral, Sunday May14th

news report
Wednesday May 17, 2006 13:41 by Chris Murray - the unmanageables

Acknowledgement.
On Sunday 15th May and Monday 16th May members of the Peace network, including Irish Anti-war, some unmanageables , individuals from residents against Racism
and concerned individuals gained access to St Patrick's Cathedral and spent large parts of the day and evening inside talking to the men and to the authorities on their behalf.
I do not speak on behalf of this group, but as an individual who was a part of it. The personnel from the Cathedral allowed free and open access to the men from this group of volunteers. Janet, the press officer facillitated communications with the men and the small group of volunteers. She regularly asked for information , such as urging Ibera to collect the names and Id numbers of the hunger strikers, for confirmation as to whether the men were at different stages of the asylum process. She warmly extended the sanctuary of the cathedral to the men, but urged less media and more humanitarian aid. The people who were working there had a good relationship with both the protestors and the authorities.
I was asked to contact the Red Cross by the men and by the Cathedral authorities. I called them at 10am , and by the time I had left at 2pm no member of the Red Cross had materialised.
we could offer little in the way of pragmatic support, nor were we there to judge the rights or wrongs of the situation, we were there as witnesses, invited by the men.
Others came and spoke with the men, I received calls to say that two nurses had turned up in the evening and the men were tired and wished to sleep. some people stayed until after 9pm,including Ibera and Rosanna flynn, from RAR.
I wrote here on Monday night that the authorities were not dealing with the situation in a proper manner. Gardai stated that their role was to maintain Law and order. There was on Monday evening no sign of medical back-up, trained counsellors or a screen to protect the men from the all day scrutiny of tourists and curious onlookers.
On Tuesday Morning a plan had been put in place by the Cathedral authorities and the state authorities, which was necessary to protect the men when they started collapsing.
However, people who had been nominated by the men were excluded from monitoring the situation independently. It was accepted by us, that priority had to be given to the medical situation and that we wd have access later. This did not happen. I arrived at Ten thirty , behind a fire engine and a paddy wagon. Janet came out to apprise us of the situation and we made way for the constant stream of ambulances.
Rosanna Flynn gained addmittance to the cathedral at 11.25am, She was the only independent observor present on Tuesday morning.
There were four health board workers inside and no friend or witness that had worked with the men and offered solidarity.
A constant stream of TD's gained access , and three photographers were allowed in, they photographed the men in various stages of collapse and put it out on the news.
I am writing this because the situation at the Cathedral became
one wherin the men were deprived of the people whom they had asked to represent them and witness on their behalf, in the understanding that though a medical emergency was called certain things were not handled properly by the State or the Cathedral.
1. Press scrutiny of men in extremis who had declared a willingness to die was allowed on Tuesday 16th May, by the press office of St pat's cathedral.
2. People nominated as independent witnesses were not allowed access to the men.
3.Four men outside the grounds were striking in solidarity. Three of the informed me that they had not taken fluid or food since monday evening. I informed the emergency services who said that they would monitor the men. last night these men had gone into hypothermic shock outside the cathedral. No ambulance was at the scene. Two gardai were guarding the access gates.
The change from openess to one of protectiveness by the Cathedral authorities was swift and decisive.
We continue in what way we can to offer supports but cannot communicate this to the men.
Those present, (Sunday14th, Monday 15th, Tuesday16th):
Elaine, Kitty, Glenda, Mick, Rosanna, Ibera, Chris,Deirdre,
and others whose names I did not know.
The indy team were told that only press card carrying reporters were allowed access to the Cathedral. thus indy had little in the way of access to the visual situation inside or independent observors.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5well done to all the women and men who went in to support the men and who did the vital job of giving us an accurate account of the situation, with the help of the imc-ie communicators. i hope the men and their network, value the importance of having this resourse and support system there for them. I think they should insist that a "member" of this communication network should be present at all press gatherings and all other "events" that they want them at.
i mentioned this previously at:
do the men request 1 of non- corporate media in, if so, someone should go in, - http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76034 - not sure of exact link, perhaps it could be proposed to the men
where is abdullah and the other man who was outside last night, what is their condition now, they are still refusing water, is this correct?
Ibera has been let in and is tending to the men. Some of whom are having complications. The situation is stressful. owsman has been taken to hospital in the last few minutes.Re reporting only a sketchy picture is emerging, but accounts say that the situation is stressful inside the cathedral. a small group of protestors are maintaining a vigil outside the gate of the cathedral, manned with banners. no other info at the moment.
Who nominated these people as independent witnesses? Was it the men themselves?
The only truely independent witness has now spoken - the UN High Commissioner.
These unfortunate people are allowing themselves to be painted into a corner. So has the Government.
This is not a game. People's lives are now at risk - not from deportation, but by this action.
By the way, can someone tell me if a political hunger-strike has ever succeeded in this country?
we asked the guys what we could do to help.
They asked for red cross, help collecting ID.
someone to talk to. someone to mediate....
