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: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1I wasn't talking about Rayethon in particular and was refering more to the constant criticism which is only based on hatred, I was probably caught up in that myself, but I appreciate you giving that information as it is something I was unaware of.
Actually, John Hume - and co-Nobel Peace Laureate David Trimble - did not bring Raytheon jobs to Derry while children were losing their parents in the conflict here. They brought Raytheon as part of the 'peace dividend' - an irony which was not lost on those in Derry who stand for a better, more peaceful world. As a result, the Foyle Ethical Investment Campaign and the Derry Anti War Coalition were opposed to Raytheon from day one despite all the hype about hundreds of jobs. Since last year's occupation and decommissioning of Raytheon in Derry, it has emerged that there were never more than about 40 jobs based in the Derry office and about half of these thought 'based' in Derry were, in fact, located in the US.
A recent report on the labour market in Derry shows that - because of poverty levels in the city - there are very low levels of skills in the unemployed workforce (more than half of the working age population). As a result, jobs in places like Raytheon are not going to local people but to people coming to Derry specifically to take up work. Nothing wrong with that, but don't pretend Raytheon has been as good for Derry as it has for the politicians, including Hume, who supported it.
It is sad that people are so hell bent on picking fights. John Hume brought jobs to Northern Ireland that people desperately needed during a time when children were needlessly losing their parents in the "war for freedom". It seems that people forget the good things that were done in a time when very little good was at the forefront. Should we not be thinking primarily about the Children here who are homeless or living in abusive homes!
The issues of Child Poverty affect all the parties in Northern Ireland and it is good to see that young people are actually noticing that this is a serious issue. There are several debates coming to the Assembly in the near future concerning childrens issues and that should be welcomed by all of us. Hopefully there is a positive message being sent out from that if not from some of the posters here.
I wouldn't worry about that fool going on about Raython at the top of the thread (the esteemed Chairman of Whataboutery Central)- no matter what the SDLP says you're always going to get some nuts who have a go regardless. I welcome parties of any persuasion highlighting important issues- unfortunately though some people are more interested in sad political point scoring. Keep 'er lit.
Hey no name, criticising stoops for being 'pro business' is a joke. All the major parties in the north are pro business incl SF. Difference here is stoops probably value paying tax more than shinners, thats about it. Didnt see any SF people banging away against raytheon. Is this the new dig at sdlp now that noone can accuse them of ebing more pro brit that sf?
The problem with Northern Ireland, The 26 counties and the UK are very similar.
Too much time and money has been invested in the idea of conflict repeating itself.
Ordinary people just want to get on with their lives.
They want truth on the bombings so that they can move on.
This is denied them by the people who want to delineate their ideology of
nationalism and monarchism and the people who desire to create
political issues where there are none- like Tony Blair and Bertie Ahern.
They have spent masses of cash on schemes to fit Ireland and Britain into
a cultural vortex while always betraying their own people on simple issues
such as education and health.
They are molehill-makers.
They have not responded to the problems of war and inequality.
They have copperfastened religious bigotry.
= they have failed to respond to a changing planet with a political will.
So they can fuck off now and let people fix their own problems in peace.
feed their own kids and mind their own ill/dying etc.
whilst they walked on the boyne Site there are nurses strikes, heritage destruction,
over sized school classes, diseased water, hospital bugs and the very rich
are creaming the money from their creation of a bureaucracy in place of
mandated government.
were they all inhaling since 1998?

"reland's new multicultural mix
In the run-up to the Irish general election, the BBC News website is looking at some key issues affecting modern Ireland. Here, the BBC's Stephen Fottrell considers the mass immigration that has transformed the country in recent years."
What do 400,000 immigrants know that the grand wee Norn Ir'n folks don't want to know? Slow learners, perhaps. Even McAleese has been imported.
The SDLP are pro business to the core. This ethic allows John Hulme to introduce raytheon to derry, a firm responsible for killing kids in their droves in lebanon and elsewhere. Anyone with a brain knows that adherence to capitalist economy is responsible for child poverty. So either you dont have a brain or you will leave the SDLP. Stop using poor kids to boost the profile of your sad dying party.
