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.

HM Provo police hospitalise Bogside youth
12/7/06
HM Provo police protecting a loyalist bonfire in the Fountain estate turned on young people from the Bogside.A provo thug from Creggan attacked a 16 year old leaving him unconscious and with serious head injuries.
As a number of young people went to the youths aid they were confronted with members of psf who spirited the well known thug out of the area.Local residents are enraged and are demanding to know how members of HM Provisional Sinn Féin, some of whom are so-called community leaders can protect and lash out on behalf of a child beater.
Feelings in the Bogside are running very high as a huge number of complaints have been made in the past about this individual.Some of these complaints have been made personally to Martin( JII8) Mc Guinness and Mitchell Mc Laughlin and have been ignored.
Also in belfast up to 200 Her Majestys Provisional IRA attacked local youths beating them very badly last night 11 July. Most of them were not know to locals and had been bused in all over. The attack was in North Queen Street.
It has emerged here in the Bogside that the HMPIRA thug who attacked and left the young fella in hospital made his escape in a van belonging to ESNI (estate services northern ireland).This is a firm owned by William Mc Guinness brother of Martin (JII8).
The firm has today lost its contract in the Bogside guarding a derelict block of flats.The decision was made by the contractor because of the level of anger felt in the bogside community and the fear of reprisal attacks on the flats.The HMPIRA thug in question was two weeks ago handing out anti-social leaflets with HMPSF councillor Kevin Campbell who also wittnessed the attack.
The HM Provos are attacking members of their own communities to protect their bigoted sectarian friends in the orange order and the failed GFA with its sell out of Political Status for which 10 brave men died and the dropping of articles 2 & 3. The sell out and the attemped normalisation of British Rule must have all the men and women who died for Ireland rolling in their graves
Something else for you to think about.
JII8 - TEN REASONS WHY MARTIN IS A TOUT!
10 FACTS about the "charmed existence" enjoyed by Martin McGuinness. There are several reasons for suspicion falling on Martin McGuinness for he survived when those around him have been shot or jailed. Derry PIRA informants coughed up more secrets, leading to more arms finds, than any other part of the PIRA.
1. The first and biggest find of arms imported from Libya in the mid 1980s - 100 AK47 and five medium machineguns were found at Five Fingers Strand in north Donegal, and the information came via an RUC informant in Derry.
2. The PIRA's powerful M60 machinegun, imported from the United States in the early 1980s, was recovered by the RUC in the city in 1982. The weapon had been used to kill eight soldiers and policemen in other parts of the province and was intended to wreak havoc in Derry. Instead, it was never fired and recovered in a community hall in the Bogside.
3. The Derry PIRA was harder hit by the 'supergrass' phenomenon that any other PIRA 'brigade'. About 80 of its members were before the courts at one point in 1982-1983, though McGuinness, as the local 'officer commanding,' was never arrested. In the aftermath of the supergrass period the PIRA in Derry went into very noticeable decline. It was responsible for killing nine members of the security forces in 1982, but by the following year it was responsible for only three murders a Protestant businessman, a soldier and a policeman.
4. Elsewhere in Northern Ireland, PIRA units were responsible for 47 murders, mostly off-duty police and Ulster Defence Regiment members. This trend continued throughout the 1980s with the exception of the Patsy Gillespie human bomb in 1990, in which five soldiers died. In 1987 - the year of the Enniskillen Cenotaph bomb - a total of 45 people, security forces and civilians were murdered by the PIRA, but there were no killings in Derry (though two PIRA men blew themselves up while making bombs).
5. The following year, the only people to die at the hands of the PIRA in Derry were three Catholics killed in a booby trap bomb while trying to help a neighbour. While the PIRA units in Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh and Down were engaged in a vicious, bloody onslaught against security force members, Derry was inactive and dysfunctional.
6. There are strong suspicions among police on both sides of the border that the killing of the two soldiers, Gunner Miles Amos and LanceBombardier Stephen Cummins, was an event which was 'allowed' to happen to cover the tracks of a highly placed intelligence sources inside the Derry PIRA. Wellplaced sources say there was a near breakdown inrelations between the Army and police in Derry after this event, with the Army blaming the police, who they knew to have wellplaced informants in the local PIRA, for failing to stop the attack. While police insisted they knew nothing of the attack, the Army remained unconvinced. A short while later, the Army set up an under-cover operation to thwart an PIRA bomb attack on the city centre. The route of the bomb-run was changed and the head bomber escaped under the noses of waiting SAS members. ??????????
7. In 1979 Brian Keenan, who was running a ruthless bombing campaign in Britain and Northern Ireland, was arrested after being flagged down by McGuinness on the roadway where they had a brief conversation. When he was in jail Keenan asked that McGuinness be investigated by the PIRA, but he did not pursue the matter after he was released.
8. In November 1994 a police investigation, Operation Taurus, found three witnesses to implicate McGuinness in directing terrorism. It was halted with the appearance of a letter asking prosecutors to bear in mind that McGuinness would shortly be in talks with the government about the future of Northern Ireland. His political value, underlined by his hotline to a senior MI6 officer, may be sufficient to explain why McGuinness has often seemed a protected species.
9. No members of the security forces were killed in 1991 or 1992. Then a young Constable, Michael Ferguson, was shot dead outside the Richmond Centre in January 1993, and an RIR member, Christopher Wren, was killed in May the same year.
10. In the blizzard of violence that stemmed from the north Belfast PIRA's bombing of Frizzell's fish shop on the Shankill Road, the PIRA in Derry remained silent. There were no PIRA killings in Derry in 1994. Ironically, in the run-up to the 1994 PIRA ceasefire, journalists were briefed that one of the main impediments to Gerry Adams' 'peace' plans were 'hardliners' like Martin McGuinness then holding the title of PIRA chief of staff. What is clear is that the Special Branch, Army or Intelligence Services had deeply infiltrated the PIRA in Derry from around the early to mid 1980s. As the PIRA moved towards ceasefire in the early 1990s, Derry seemed to lead the way in running down its operations.
All over Northern Ireland people are reassessing McGuinness's career in the wake of newspaper claims by Martin Ingram, a former military intelligence officer, that the man once regarded as an PIRA hawk had been controlled by MI6 for at least two decades. A retired RUC special branch officer believes McGuinness was the MI5 agent code-named "Fisherman".
Republican veterans point to the "charmed existence" enjoyed by McGuinness. He has held every senior position in the Provisional IRA since its inception, but has never been shot or injured nor served a serious prison sentence in the UK.
During the internment swoops he managed to avoid detention and travelled freely back and forth from Derry to his granny's house in Donegal where he was nominally "on the run". Statements by another supergrass, Robert Quigley, implicated McGuinness in organising PIRA activity, but he was never charged. While McGuinness remained beyond the law, his followers were jailed and killed. Now he has a holiday home in Donegal, he and Gerry Adams are both millionaires. Interesting, isn't it!
Ó in ainim Dé! 'Tis all too confusing. Who was minding who? First, I read a report that Sinn Féin Nua were standing with the nationalists protesting against the Orange March and then there's one under it saying they were beating the shite out of the nationalists who were protesting against the Orange March?
Did anyone see the purple people? Apparently, there are purple people as well, as if things weren't bad bad enough with Orange people marching about the place, we now hear of purple people as well, where did the purple people come from and what ails them? Does anyone know what the colour purple signifies to the Orange Order? I tried asking and they told me to fuck-off!
