offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

offsite link 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

offsite link 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.

A Call From
The Ancient City Of
Tara
To Gather All Warriors Of The Earth
To Defend And Sanctify
The Valley of The White Mare

Your Presence is Urgently Needed On
Tuesday 7Th August

This place in county Meath Ireland is the location of a recently discovered Prehistoric Wood Henge

This Henge is the oldest astronomical observatory yet found anywhere in the world

The Irish Government M3 Motorway is routed directly through the Henge and a further one hundred and forty plus sacred sites. Common sense will tell you that the valley is of profound importance locally, nationally and internationally. Initial excavations by archaeological consultancy services Ltd (funded by the NRA national roads authority) revealed a ceremonial burial chamber at the centre of the 80m diameter complex. The grave contained the bones of a woman adorned with gold necklace and bracelets. It also contained the bones of a large hunting dog and horse. She had been buried with the utmost respect and full ceremonial honours. A Queen or Priestess of high regard. These remains have been removed and relocated to A.C.S Ltds warehouse on the outskirts of Dublin. No mention of this reached the media Why??
We Need You Now!
The Tara Skyrne valley is a key to all of our pasts
The NRA plans to move on the Henge on Tuesday 7th August
At 5Am
If we cannot show our presence in physical numbers this sacred Site will be gone
Forever

of inaccuracies. There is no evidence at all of a woman buried at
the henge - at least not that anyone in authority knows about. Never
mind the necklace or bracelets or the horse. There were rumours of a
horse but THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.
Secondly, the situation at Rath Lugh is absolutely criminal.
The excavation of the henge is for the good of the monument but now the
NRA are trying to prove that Rath Lugh is not where everyone says it is.
On foot of that they are moving the fencing line at least 6 if not 12
feet further in. This is criminal damage to a monument and do not get
distracted by the henge, what is happening at Rath Lugh is critical and
they may begin this destruction at the same time as the excavations
because we will all get distracted.

I fully agree with what Roestown is saying about Rath Lugh. I inspected the site in early January, and judging by the red and white construction-site plastic tape which has been draped between some of the trees I concluded that tree-felling and earth-removal was far from over at Rath Lugh. But unfortunately nobody took any notice of my warnings.

An archaeologist verbally confirmed to me that a skeleton of a woman indeed has been discovered near the henge of Lismullin . The bones were scattered all over the place, either done by constant plowing or by animals who tore the body apart. But I didn't see any remains myself and have to rely on the story told by the archaeologist in question.

Thank you both for the corrections, and thank you to Michael for affirming the potential of the unearthed female. It is difficult for me to see from where I am what exactly is happening on the "construction" sites. I will be careful to investigate further next time. However, I still feel that it is urgent that ALL of the "construction" sites are populated by those who are able.

Blessings to all who are involved.

here is a link to the latest photos:
http://s168.photobucket.com/albums/u167/muireanntemair/...2007/

The archaeological company when asked about bodies being found said that there were the remains of two bodies around the henge area. They were disturbed and it was not possible at the time to say if they were male or female.

Secondly, there have been rumours about the finding of a horse. This has been denied by the archaeological company as well - they say it was a relatively modern cow.

Can they be believed however?

Rath Lugh today.
If you look at the line of fences marking the line edge of the proposed road, they will need to be even more of Rath Lugh removed. A protected National Monument that fell off the map.

in the Photobucket link provided in the message above.
It would appear that they are contemplating taking about 6-12 feet further off Rath Lugh area.
Look what they were saying back in January when there was a row about what was going on then as well.

The NRA are now disputing where the monument actually begins.
There is no end to these people's duplicity .....................

What if, Just Nod, these artifacts/remains exist? Even if they don't, the site is a treasure to be cared for, not destroyed.

Call for Donga for Rathlugh - This is a short video showing the ongoing destruction on this beautiful woodland within the rath at Rath Lugh, a national monument in the Tara Skryne more... Valley. It is important to highlight that the whole structure including glacial slide is under severe threat if the dozers take the side of this monument.

Government thugs are now putting pressure on J.P. Fay, the guy featured in a video posted in the previous message., who runs the information caravan from the public car park on the Hill of Tara. He was visited by members of Meath County Council backed by An Garda Siochana, who gave him till next Tuesday to remove his caravan. Tthey claim the caravan is being used for "advertising", which, according to those thugs, violates one or the other section of the Roads Traffic Act! This is yet another example of government terror against concerned citizens and police-enforced enfringements of our constitutional right s to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech!
