 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.

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.

Keep the pressure up, take the fight to them country wide.
The cartons of orange juice add a nicely surreal touch for the whole thing...did they get free toys as well?
They've been quietly working away there for far too long.
Well done too all that turned out for it.
Also, for those interested, tickets are on sale in Connolly Books for the Rossport Solidarity Camps June Bank Holiday weekend event. The bus will leave at 6:30pm on Friday the 1st.
Workshops and events are being put on by Shell To Sea groups rom around the country and also by other community campaigns on Ireland.
It has a history of being an brilliant event (and sunshine always seems to put in a good showing)
so if you can make it down it won't disappoint.
Isn't that the corporate color of Shell?
Good to hear it went well with no arrests and no major reproductive damage!
Sorry I couldn't make it
Beir bua!
kp
well done from supporters in cork - slán agus beir bua a chairde!
Well done folks, and glad to hear no arrests or serious injuries.
P.S. I thought it was against Garda policy for them to take food or water for free from anyone.
It does seem to slightly contravene their whole impartiality thing doesn't it? I'd imagine the Gardaí are forbidden from taking ANY gifts from anyone for that simple reason....on the other hand maybe if we spring for some Yop's they'll switch sides and join our blockades instead...now that's the kind of bribery we can afford..

Leeson St entrance
Main entrance, Adelaide Road
Entrance to back lane
Gardai force a Shell staffer through at back entrance on laneway
Throwing protesters out of the way
The guard with a penchant for other men's genitalia was B22, he's a sergeant at Kevin St..
Early start on the streets of Dublin. Just off the train in Cork, must go to work and slave for the almighty wage. Will comment later. MEL!
The OJ in question. Putting the Squeeze ON and IN
Caped Crusader
Not your average tour... got good support (notice the viking)
Final Push to get Lackies in around 10:30 ish
And Bertie looked down at his creation and said that it was GOOD. Genesis 6:66
Is this sgt. Cop a feel? ***** for bravery on the day.
COP a FEEL
Finally the photos from today - as you will note this was for the most part calmer than last time, mostly as the decision was taken very early on by the Gardai to turn all Shell cars away
Blocking the side
Blocking the front
The lane at the rear
Blocking the rear
The banner dance
and at times wet
They brought their friends this time
Four people got in using more or less the method on show here of being puched through the protest by a scrum of Gardai.
Mnay curious dances were on display
Will I or won't I
Whats the advice
Happy in their work
Popping his through the protest
Good work, great mugshots of Sergeant B22. Strange man.

Respect to you all for keeping on - well done & see yez at the Gathering.
well done all of yese!
looks well,if i had a damn usb id share our bertie photos
bertie visited corks wilton shopping center today to be greated by shelltosea activists,
we followed him through the whole shopping center with delightful chorus "BERTIE PUMPS FOR SHELL" got jostled and scraped by mad fanatic women (women were feeling him up!!!)and suits.we shook his hand tight and hard and asked him difficult questions about our gas and oil being sold,he blurted "!the deal is done ,i have nothing to say"a very shook man,then to patricks street where he was going to speak.Was..he had to cancel ..fantastic
watch tv3 news
dont think he'll be in cork for a while!
photos soon
solidarity or what!
I heard that some Shell to Sea folks got close to Bertie in Cork today - one seemed to grab his hand or perhaps it was Bertie putting his exhausted hand out for another shake and found a Shell to Sea-er on the other end. Any reports or photos?
Well done to the people at Shell HQ too by the way.
Another great action in the capital, and more good news from Cork as well. Many thanks from the stubborn folk in Mayo.
Let's keep up the pressure, they'll soon learn there's nowhere to hide.
Why all the aggro? If you have the people behind you, you'll be the government in few days. Then you can do what you want, legally and without all this hassle. Can't you wait a little more.
In a perfect world, you'd be right. But with all the misinformation about the campaign it's going to be tough.
"The action was called to "highlight the incredible theft of our natural resources"
And who is going to find, process, GET ASHORE SAFELY, distribute this natural resource??
Last I heard, the "Shinners" didn't have "oil and gas exploration" on their election manifest - unless of course they've opened a Tehran office, or maybe even a Caracas Cumman -- seeing as they're down in that neck of the woods anyway.
I think the aggro is a result of the intoxicating effect that orange juice has upon Gardai. It's a little-known fact, but one that's worth paying attention to and it's why the Gardai at Belmullet have to quench their thirst with Guinness instead.
I don't understand why you are protesting about the great gas givaway outside Shell. Surely you should be focusing your attention on the people who gave it away (i.e. the Government) as opposed to the people who got it.
What's the purpose of protesting outside Shell's offices? What are you trying to achieve? I'm just curious, I'm not having a go at anyone.
Curious,
This ranting and raving about the so called gas giveaway, and the terminal development are nothing but diversionary tactics which have been used solely by certain members of the shell to sea campaign group to further their own profile with in the public arena.
Why would a campaign grouping change its articulate spokesperson of past 2 years?
Why has your so called pet TD gone in to hibernation and that was well before an election was called.
ever of the rat abondanding a sinking ship? its true!
“Go back to the drawing board on the Corrib gas project - even now it is still not too late - and we'll help you solve the problem.”
John kept that quite, his profession is that of a gas production engineer not a humble blacksmith as he makes out to be !!
You still dancing with Ginger Rogers?
