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.

Jump To Comment: 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1RSF members, due to their refusal to take the political test oath, ARE being regarded as "Independent" by the electoral commission and are being listed as "Independent" on the ballots. They are also, as a consequence of being regarded as "independents", being denied media access/coverage. RSF candidates ARE necessarily abstentionist. Gerry McGeough is planning to take his seat. RSF are not supporting him, but are rather running a candidate AGAINST him.
RSF beg to differ. They claim to have six candidates running I believe.
Unless of course that they now accept the British designation of them as Independents
Because there are no RSF candidates standing - only Ind Reps
The RSFers haven't put the party name on the ballot sheet
Capiche ?
." No to partitionist assemblies/parliaments, that is how the people got the first Dail Eireann, a 32 county Republic is not possible by bolstering support for rival artificial statelets, Republicans want to build an alternative structure in which the people themselves hold power not institutions that were forced on teh people by the British.
Doesnt everyone on indymedia, despite our political differences, want to change the status quo? Dont vote for those who will work with, bolster and maintain teh status qou, and thats what those who are taking their seats will be doing."
RSF are pledged to oppose any attempt by republicans and progressives to come together and build those alternative structures you are talking about . Ir republicans and progressives attempt to create them RSF are pledged to abstain from them . Doesnt exactly offer much hope for those structures ever to be created , by RSF anyway .
So why did O Bradaigh welcome this letter, and one of the RSF candidates sign this letter, which does the exact opposite to what you say.
It calls for people to vote for INDEPENDENT republican candidates (not RSF) - that includes McGeough and Hyland, both of whom are committed to taking seats in Stormont if elected. Was the RSF candidate not n breach of RSF rules by not insisting on only voting for abstentionist candidates and not pro Stormont ones too?
Cogar, Gerry Dána,
Sinn Féin Poblachtach have made it crystal clear to everyone who cares to hear, that they are calling on all voters who long for a United Ireland, to vote for all Republican candidates who are abstaining from taking their seats in this British Imperialist Stormont Assembly.
Thats what makes it so strange that one of the RSF candidates has signed this ex prisoners letter which calls for support for Independent republican candidates which would include a number of those who if elected would take their seat in Stormont - McGeough and Hyland. Surely this is against RSF policy, is it not?
And why did O Bradaigh welcome this letter considering it didnt call for support for RSF but for Independent candidates? Stranger it gets.
Trína , by standing on an abstentionist platform Republicans are, in fact, standing for a 32 county Republic
. No to partitionist assemblies/parliaments, that is how the people got the first Dail Eireann, a 32 county Republic is not possible by bolstering support for rival artificial statelets, Republicans want to build an alternative structure in which the people themselves hold power not institutions that were forced on teh people by the British.
Doesnt everyone on indymedia, despite our political differences, want to change the status quo? Dont vote for those who will work with, bolster and maintain teh status qou, and thats what those who are taking their seats will be doing.

FAO read it
The letter issued by the ex prisoners states:
would like to take this opportunity to call upon all Republicans to come out and vote for Independent Republican Candidates of your choice in the Election tomorrow.
Nowhere does their letter mention anything about candidates abstaining from taking their seats etc Nowhere. Yet O Bradaigh has welcomed this letter and one of the RSF candidates has actually signed this letter.
The letter does state that republicans should vote for INDEPENDENT republican candidates. That excludes RSF as they are not Independents - unless of course you believe and accept the British labelling of RSF as Independents, do you?
So why are RSF welcoming calls for people to vote for Independent candidates (which would include pro stormont candidates McGeough and Hyland) and who are standing against RSF in some constituencies?

As a Republican ex-Prisoner I would not vote for anyone who would surrender everything so many have died for in order to serve under Paisley and who would stand alongside the mass murderer Bush when he was about to bomb civilians in Iraq. Remember Hillsborough?
Republicans should not be fighting over winning an election to the British imperialist Stormont Assembly for fools. This election means nothing for Ireland, it is meaningless.
I'd like to wish all Republicans luck in this election, but my heart isn't in it, I'll wait until we have a 32 county election............
How the hell are we ever going to achieve a United Ireland with one British established House of Fools in the six counties and one in the twenty-six counties?
Vote for all candidates pledged to abstain from puppet Stormont.
///ABSTAIN///
Could it be any clearer?
But RSF have now welcomed the letter by the ex pows which calls for people to vote for INDEPENDENT Republican candidates (not RSF who are not indpendent and not necessarily Abstentionist). So they are welcoming the call for people to vote for candidates such as Hyland and McGeough who will take their seats in Stormont if elected.
" I would never vote for the likes of McGeough. '
Good, neither wouldI, now what does he have to do with the above statement? McGeough is NOT standing as a Republican abstentionist, and RSF are standing a candidate against him.
Duh!! Hello!!
Obviously he's not claiming that he's the only person to have been through the prison experience. He's commenting on a letter signed by 320 others who experienced that also.
Man!! How PSF like to twist things. Even George Orwell would be spinning in his grave at the sheer neck of it
"As an ex-POW and ex-internee at various stages of the struggle over the past 50 years.."
You are not the only person to have been put through the mill by the combined forces of repression and collusion. I have been there too, but I believe that there are limits to who we should or should not support. Republicans need to get away from the simple mantra of "My enemies enemy is my friend". It has led us into dubious associations before. I would never vote for the likes of McGeough.
