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: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8I hope ye organise a family picnic or something afterwards, its a beautiful park and community
resource in the Crumlin and Sundrive area.
The memorial Stone has been occassionally vandalised but is always cleaned up.
Its a nice day out for people to gather and chat afterwards?
Ye should contact Superquinn, one of the difficulties with commeroration is
feeding the kids!
the management at superquinn do tend to donate bakery goods to worthy community causes
and the Park is a wonderful place to let the wee ones loose, it also takes care of baby-sitting problems
as people in groups can mind kids easier than singles and isolated family units.
Gosh, how I wish I could be there! I hope everyone has a wonderful time, and that the memory of this patriot is held in the deepest regard!
Blessings,
Susan Isabella Sheehan-Repasky
Hi Ladies !
Thank You for the advice regarding Superquinn and the kids - I'll have my own two childer with me on the day and , although they have been to dozens of republican and community commemorations/marches/pickets/demonstrations etc , they still get restless (as kids do!) about half-way through !
I like the baby-sitting plan ;-) !
And Susan - I know you'll be there in spirit : I have been reading your excellent contributions on the various 'Tara' threads on this site . You are nearer to Tara than some of the people on this isle are .
Thanks for your comments : much appreciated .
Sharon.
Hi !
The Eamonn Ceannt Commemoration held today , Sunday 19 August 2007 , in Eamonn Ceannt Park in Crumlin , Dublin , was about 30 minutes late in starting due to five Special Branch men who insisted on harassing each of the approximate fifty people present .
A small stage-unit and an amplification system had been set-up at the Memorial Stone inside one of the park entrances and , when they did eventually get there (led by an RSF Colour Party and a contingent from Na Fianna Eireann) the crowd were welcomed by the Chairperson , Tony Kennedy , who introduced himself , and gave a brief history of Eamonn Ceannt and outlined RSF's position in relation to the continuing occupation of this island .
Tony then called on Josephine Hayden , ex-POW , to give the main oration .
A more detailed description of the life of Eamonn Ceannt followed , and those present clapped as Josephine highlighted the political similarities between Ceannt's beliefs and those of Republican Sinn Fein . (The full speech will be carried in the September 2007 edition of the 'Saoirse' newspaper)
The Chairperson took the microphone again and brought proceedings to an end , thanking the RSF Colour Party , Na Fianna , and those in attendance .

Glad you referred to 'this island'. That's the appropriate designation when referring to 'Ireland'. This island should not be referred to as a country as there are two on this island. Good to see that RSF is now following the appropriate nomenclature.
Hi Jason !
You sad little Englander you !
Yes , Jason , Ireland is an island , comprising many peoples but only one country , despite the best efforts of you and your similarly-surnamed friends .
Your time would be better used in seeking to propagate the 'peace-keeping' efforts of your colleagues in Ireland ,Iraq and Afghanistan , to name but three .

Well done to Sinn Féin Poblachtach for organising this commemoration in honour of Éamonn Ceannt.
Éamonn Ceannt was a great Irish patriot and as well as being a member of the Military Council who planned the Easter Rising and a signatory of the ‘Proclamation of the Irish Republic’ he was also a very talented Uileann Piper. Éamonn Ceannt’s talent as a Uileann Piper was recognised on the international stage. In fact, in 1908, Éamonn travelled to Rome and played a selection of Irish airs on his Uileann pipes for Pope Pius X, at the Pope’s request, for his jubilee celebrations.
It is sad that in the year 2007, Éamonn Ceannt’s vision of a united Ireland free from English rule has yet to be realised. I’m sure he would be very disappointed at the present state of affairs, with the six counties still ruled by England and aided & abetted by deluded Irishmen/women.
It was also sad to note on the day that a gang of Irishmen with cameras that were annoyingly hanging around the commemoration and creating a nuisance, felt the need to make snide comments about those who were marching to the park to commemorate Éamonn Ceannt - they should have had more respect for the memory of Éamonn Ceannt, and they would be well advised to keep their mouths shut in future and show a bit of respect to those who are entitled to gather and honour a true Irish patriot!
