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.

Any plan for a evening protest too?
There is a protest that evening at Donnybrook Shell station, details here:
http://indymedia.ie/article/78784
You may or may not be aware that both Shell and Statoil Petrol filing stations have in the last year been sold to an Irish based Equity Group, so in fact they only have their former names still in place but are n't owned by either group any longer. Just thought that this information would be useful for future protests, probably should be kept to the Dail and other sites owned by Shell and Statoil
It's absolutely true that both Shell and Statoil have sold their forecourt businesses in the 26 counties to local businessmen (I'm lucky enough to have met some of these creatures when we were raising sponsorship on the streets in the summer -gruesome capitalist types from central casting they were too- one particularly odious one was even smoking a fat cigar).
However, the petrol you buy at a Shell Garage still comes from Shell, and the petrol you buy at a Statoil Garage (or a TESCO) still comes from Statoil. The franchise owner has a new boss, but he can't go elsewhere for his fuel supplies, so when we picket these places we are having a direct effect on Shell's profitability, as well as raising awareness in a simple and easy to comprehend way.
Other places such as the Norwegian Embassy, Statoil's HQ in the IFSC, and of course the Department of Marine on Adelaide Road will be targeted in the next little while.
The great Corrib Gas swindle, brought to you by the already much discredited FF/PD coalition and their multi-national pay masters, will continue to be resisted by the people in Erris and at other places where appropriate.
A couple of things to consider today:
Why is Erris effectively a police state at the moment? Hundreds of cops are stationed in the area, harassing local people and visitors alike. At the same time in areas of Limerick city, drug wars and feuds continue to rage unabated, endangering the lives of ordinary people. Why can't McDowell get a few guards down there then?
Why are the guards being used as a private security force for Shell? Is this how despicable our country has become?
Why won't Minister Dempsey release the documents detailing the terms of the lease granted to the Shell-led consortium, the plan of development for the pipeline and the quantitative risk assessment of the terminal at Ballinaboy. The documents are the subject of a discovery order by the High Court but Shell is adamant in refusing to make them available. In a reply to a written question from SF's Martin Ferris, Dempsey stated that he was legally prevented from releasing the papers.
Ferris questioned the basis of Dempsey's contention that he is legally prevented from doing so given that the High Court has ordered their discovery. Ferris contended that they ought to be made available at least to the legal representatives of the persons who have been the subject of Shell’s own legal action.
We can only encourage Ferris in his efforts, but this isn't going to be won at parliamentary level, it will be won at grassroots level throughout the country and in Erris.
Supporters are asked to check Indymedia for updates on the situation in Erris as well as demonstrations and actions presently being organised throughout the country. Details of mailing and text lists will be posted shortly on this thread.
