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.

"It also means a PD has been taken of the election slate..."
Bertie does not reward people for their good work, he rewards them for their usefulness to his strategies. In this case, probably trying to convince O'Gorman that he's taking the issue seriously, and also playing to the uncertainty of running for the Dail, and maybe not getting access to power, and the certainty of a Senate appointment.
Now he pops up in the Irish House of Lords.
Will no-one rid me of Mr. Gloom'n Doom?
Anybody who thought that O'Gorman was motivated to help others was duped. O'Gorman showed his true colours when he joined the "greed is good" merchants in the PD's. Once again the Seanad is shown for what it is-a joke, a rest room for friends of the establishment. Some campaigner!!!
It was logical for Mr. McDowell to congratulate Colm O'Gorman on his elevation to the Senate.
It was, of course, the PD leader who landed this plum for the Wexford PD candidate. Indeed, having proven such a flop in the business end of Wexford electoral politics, Mr. McDowell's soulmate had put his leader's reputation in some jeopardy.
Now, as PD Spokesperson on Education, Senator O'Gorman has a stake in the Redress Board, which is administered by the Department of Education. We look forward to hearing him extol its record of probity and compassion...... clarity and efficiency.
In fact, he could begin by discussing a recent High Court award to a survivor from the gulag that was MANY times in excess of the average payment forthcoming from his Redress Board.
Mc Dowell says he would have to seriously consider going into power with
FF after revelations (more) of Berites finances, am awaiting announcement from the
other half of the marriage as to the shite that passed as law on June 2nd and 16th
of last year.
High Moral ground indeed, both divorcees are airing their long term laundry in public.
This is a nasty little campaign and Rabbitte and Enda have extended the Mullingar
accord to a full alliance, which means the pre-nup is signed.
another Marriage a la mode- can't wait.
Eddie Hobbs & C olin O'Gorman r going forwrd. How much again is Eddie on ? Somehing like 1,000 per hour
If he gets elected more lolly and of course his pnsion then allowances ,free food Barry's tea and for a full Irish breakfast with a Cloonakilty Pudding (R those puddings by the Toomey man in F/G ?)
Colm will be awarded the same previlages, Not bad atall!!!!The celtic tiger is roaring still.
It is most interesting that Colm's organisation is run almost exclusivly on proceeds of the Catholic Church. A cosy relationship.

Can anyone please help me? I am confused ! Is Colm O'Gorman still a memebr of the PD's whilst being chairperson of Amnesty International (Irish Section) ?. If so, it means that he has an obvious dilemna: how does he speak as (1) AI Chairperson and (2) a member of a political party in government colluding with US military presence in Ireland under the re-fuelling at Shannon Airport? If he has left the PD's, perhaps he could let us know when he left and how did he see his role as a PD memebr and thereby a supporter of US forces in Shannon..or did I miss the whole Damascus experience???
"It is most interesting that Colm's organisation is run almost exclusivly on proceeds of the Catholic Church. A cosy relationship."
Colm O'Gorman chose to use his personal injury settlement to fund a support group. The decades spent obtaining that award, for the injuries inflicted on him as an individual, were bitterly contested by the church. There is nothing cosy in their relationship, the money is not the church's and he is he neither "funded by the church" nor accountable to them for his use of his personal resources.
