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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Do they all know and accept that Con is their 'Spiritual Advisor'?
What about the other 3? - Who is their 'Spiritual Advisor'?
Con visited.
got a statement.
which he read.
now- the guys do not have the 'right of reply' (due to being incarcerated) thus- 'respect their wishes'
Thats what the report says. Thats what happens. Prisoners have rights.
Their statement was 'read' -as written by them.
Respect Prisoners rights!
This is a statement from the Tara 4 in Cloverhill prison, 21st july 2007
We consider that the proposal to build a 4 lane motorway, including a massive interchange, within 1200 metres of the hill of Tara to be a crime against the culture, heritage and history of our people, a whole landscape of an area of unparalleled and irreplacable importance to all the people of this island. These foolish thinking men with political power and corruptions who will inflict this wound on the most important symbol of our civilisation and identity will be damned by their actions. that they would willfully ignore the will of the people of this island in an attempt to proceed with this plunder says as much about the health of our democracy and our society. That those who peacefully resist this desecration and illegality should be locked up as common criminals is a testament to the potency of the importance of this struggle and says how much those in power fear. We call on all people of goodwill, all people who value ideals, not measured in monitary terms, all people who know that after this reverpacious(muffled?) creed has passed, we will be left with nothing but our heritage and identity upon which to rebuild. We call upon all of you to stand by us, we call upon all politicians, north and south, to support our actions, we call on you all to make a sand now for beauty and truth, against greed and corruption, to stand shoulder to shoulder in the defense of Tara.
Please find improved layout below for this historic statement.
Statement from the Tara Four Prisoners: intended to be read out publicly.
Send to others please on their behalf.
===============
We consider the proposal to build a four-lane motorway, including a massive interchange, within 1200mts of the Hill of Tara to be a crime against the culture, heritage and history of our people. The Tara landscape is an area of unparalleled and irreplaceable importance to all the people of this island.
These foolish, greedy men with political power and corrupt influence, who would inflict this wound on the most important symbol of our civilization and identity, will be damned by their actions.
That they would wilfully ignore the will of the people of this island and attempt to proceed with this plunder says much about the health of our democracy and of our society.
That those who peacefully resist this desecration and illegality should be locked up as common criminals is a testament to the potency and importance of this struggle. And to how much those in power fear it.
We call on all people of goodwill, all people who value ideals not measured in monetary terms, all people who know that after this rapacious greed has passed we will be left with nothing but our heritage and identity upon which to rebuild, we call on all of you to stand with us.
We call on all politicians, north and south for their active support to Save Tara Valley .
To make a stand now for beauty and truth, against greed and corruption, to stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of Tara .
===============
If these guys get no TV coverage then the stay in prison is pointless.
I blame the lack of support for the Tara protest on RTE who seem to have a blanket ban on this issue.
I have been trying myself to get on radio air waves to ask why RTE are not showing any coverage or having any debates/documentries relating to Tara.
TV, more so than the printed media, is the key to increasing support.
We should rally prominant people to get on tv to bring it home what is really happening.
I would like to start now by calling on artist, especially Irish singers and bands etc to get invoveled in the Tara issue. God knows they have made enough money over the years singing about the heroes of old.
You too Christy M, remember 'once upon a time there was, Irish ways and Irish laws'
All these singers have been at it for years, I think they owe Tara and our ancient heroic dead the right to rest in peace, not be bulldozed into the corner of a field while our moderen singers of songs stay quite.
The idea to get more artists involved is very feasible, in the past Kila members have helped out and from photos of the last march Louis le Brocquy and Anne Madden are already out doing there bit. I met them nearly 3 years ago and we discussed the role art can play in bringing about change, a report of that and other issues related to tara found at :living ( http://easa.antville.org/stories/935634/ )

Remember Carnsore
There is a precedent for Irish artists and people coming together and halting government plans...
"They're not going to give up. This country is going down the tubes. The politicians are all on the fiddle man. Big business is paying them. And the Church is the same. They say one thing, but do the opposite. They're all on the fiddle. We'll be back here next year 'cos people are never gonna find out what's really going on. If they ever did there'd be a revolution."

Carnsore Point anti nuclear gigs in the 70's:
A series of free concerts were held at Carnsore Point in 1978 and 1979. Titled "Get To The Point" and "Back To The Point" respectively, the concerts were a massive success and served to bring to public notice the whole question of nuclear power in Ireland.

and there could even be a little stroll from the city up the stoney bothar, along the old royal road to get there, as mentioned here

artists for Tara.....Remember Carnsore
Outside Cloverhill Prison Friday
Remember the Wood Quay occupation 1979.
We urgently need a couple of high profile figures like FX Martin (RIP) and Thomas Kinsella to take a stand this time.
I noticed today that there was a news blackout in the Irish republic today regarding the Tara campaigners - of course they are all hippies and commies.....
Of course, you realise that there is going to be 2 tolls on the route of the M3 which will cost Joe Public commuter at least 3000 Euro a year for the privalige of using it and that money will be going to a Spanish comany....... and you realise that there is a shorter cheaper route. But of course, why stand in the way of progress by asking for 3km of the route to be moved when you can simply destroy national monuments and Irish heritage forever.
It is good to see that there is people from England over there campaigning. It just goes to show how important Tara is not only to Irish people but worldwide
Also there have been Polls over the last few months,showing a majority of Irish people are oppossed to the route.And why has there not been a proper rail route sorted,there is a goods train from Naven to Dublin why not a Public train route.
Lets hope that Tara will get saved before it is too late.
A skeleton, believed to be the ancient Green Party was unearthed today at Lismullen. Archaeologists believe the Party perished after an epidemic of Compromise Virus in the early years of the 21st century. A bone which was first thought to be the jaw bone of an ass may in fact be the jaw bone of the Green Party Minister who presided over the destruction of Tara. It is hard to tell at this stage
Gormless Man, as he is known, is believed to be the missing devolutionary link in human history. Having evolved for many millions of years the species began to regress genetically around the year 2007. Gormless and his tribe went slowly crazy before their demise. They worshipped a strange God called Stable Government and became fascinated by chewing gum and litter while discussing building Nuclear Power Stations and roads through national monuments.
By 2012 the Green Party no longer existed, having been wiped out in local and national elections. Will we ever see such naieve people again?
