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.

While thousands of government muppets marched in support of the Gaza Palestinians yesterday, elsewhere in Damascus the offices of the Human Rights Association in Syria (HRAS) were attacked .
"The windows of the offices were smashed and the doors were smeared with animal excrement," the group said in a statement on Monday. It said the offices belong to a former HRAS chairman, lawyer Hayssam Maleh, and were being used as the group's temporary headquarters. "The association feels targeted by their act of aggression, as does lawyer Maleh, and calls on the Syrian authorities to launch an investigation and punish the culprits according to the law," it said.
Imagine this happening in Damascus, where the govenment is visible every 50m in Damascus, in the form of a Mukhabarat cop.
Mary Lou, get out there!
There's a few questions that inevitably spring to mind when I see such comments as the one above.
1. What's the connection? Is the author really affronted by the denial of human rights in Syria, or just using it as a stick to attack Palestinians, because in his mind they're like, you know, all Arabs.
2. Is the author going to help organise a demonstration/event supporting human rights in Syria? (kind of linked to question 1)
3. Can the word 'muppet' be outlawed at this stage
PS. Nice photos
Syria seems to be an obsession with him. He even got me posting about Syria on a Chavez thread. Hes one curious. cat
Oh God. I was hoping you could manage this one on you own, but okay David L., let us do it by the numbers.
1.The connection is that the poor Palestinians are used by everyone out here. At the moment you have Assad making noises about retrieving the Golan, which would undoubtedly involve Hizbollah, and lead to massive destruction in Lebanon, whose government would falter, only to be 'rescued' once more by the Syrians. Mix in a few Palestinian groups such as Islamic Jihad and soon the Iraelis are faced with the problem of invading Lebanon again. Eyes off Syria and Iran, on we all go.
Your second question attempts to put words in my mouth, and just shows your own ignorance.
2. No. I may have nine lives but I amn't a moron.
3. The difference between a puppet and a muppet is that a puppet comes with strings attached, while a muppet walks about with his hand up his hole.
And Tank Girl, nice try, but you brought up Damascus first!

"The connection is that the poor Palestinians are used by everyone out here"
Nope Cat, I'm afraid that's not an argument. You're losing credibility fast with silly rhetoric of that sort. The fact that you have to resort to abuse ("muppet", "moron") says it all really.

Topper, I was asked for a connection, not an argument. If you cannot see the link between the actions of Syria, Israel, Hizbollah and Hamas...
By the way Topper, on Monday I said;
1.The connection is that the poor Palestinians are used by everyone out here.

Turn on CNN Topper. Maybe you'll find them more credible.

Here are the contact details for the Irish Ambassador to Israel.
His excellency Mr Michael Forbes in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Anyone could write him a letter expressing their outrage at the destruction of Gaza and the Collective Punishment of the 1.5 million citizens living there. He could be reminded that the Civilian population of Ireland is watching the actions of his offices with intense urgency. That we expect to hear a call for the human rights abuse to stop. That we expect the Ambassador to pressure the Israeli Government to live up to it's obligations under International law. That we want to see action in terms of political and economic sanctions to be implemented and the withdrawal of diplomatic connections if the mass murder continues.
We could remind the Amabassador that he is our representative to the Israeli Government and that silence on these grave issues is a negation of his duties to represent our sympathy with the Palestinian people in the strongest possible terms to the Israeli leadership.
A letter in written form, politely worded and posted to his offices would be the most effective medium for getting his attention.
Nope, still no connection. You posted a comment abusing (not merely criticising, but abusing) people who took part in a demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, on the grounds that human rights abuses are taking place in Syria. You haven't been able to justify this (by the same logic, if someone protests against the Syrian regime without also organising a protest against the Israeli government, they are hypocrites, or maybe even "muppets").
You are doing your best to imply that Palestinian resistance to the occupation is being orchestrated by Damascus, but not succeeding because it is so obviously absurd - when the IDF is blowing civilians to bits, it doesn't take any string-pulling from the Syrians to provoke a Palestinian response. As I said, you're losing credibility fast with stuff like this.
Oh, just read over the first post, if I'm reading it correctly now the term "muppet" refers to demonstrators in Damascus, not Dublin. Not very clear though. But it still suggests that Mary Lou or anyone else in Ireland who supports the Palestinians is a hypocrite unless they organise a similar protest against the Syrian regime, which is a complete non sequitor
Yes Topper, the muppets are those in Damascus with Assad's hand up their arses. I avoid using the word hypocrite, for some reason a lot of people feel they must wear their heart on their sleeve, and to be called a hypocrite is little better than to be called a traitor. I was being a little cheeky, as I see Mary Lou keen to be seen to support PC causes.
I think that people in Ireland should enjoy their peace and what summer they can, here it sunny and hot, but there is far too much metal in the air for enjoyment.
