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: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1the acceptance of the Public Order Act by the trade union movement was probably the greatest act of
betrayal ever perpetrated against trade union members. Any picket or placard can now be deemed illegal on the whim of a garda or figure of authority, with long prison sentences possible for offenders.
The gardai now have more powers than any police force in Europe.
The irony is that the POA was introduced at the behest of a member of the Labour Party (B. Howlin).
Taken out against Shell!! - Explain that Mr Shell!! , next you'll be telling us that the Rossport 5 willing signed over their land to you friends!!
"in illegaly entering private land(owned by the Mcgrath family of glengad) and breaking locks on gates to gain accsess to a private pier they had no right to use."
The Mcgrath family signed the ownership of that pier over to Mayo co,co and gave them a right of access to the pier some years ago.
If I am wrong then why havent they brought legal precedings aginst shell and mayo coco?
Shells cops didn't appear to be bothered about breaking in and tresspass when they participated with one of Shell's contractors in illegaly entering private land(owned by the Mcgrath family of glengad) and breaking locks on gates to gain accsess to a private pier they had no right to use. What made this even worse was that the craft shell intended to secure there turned out to be unlicensed.. But since shell are deemed to be above the law in Erris as has been amply demonstrated by the events of the last year or so this shouldn't come as a suprise to anyone!!
This sums up the petty arguments put forward by S2S
Surely if someone breaks into a premises and is illegally trespassing the cops are in their rights to arrest someone... its ridiculous .
you people just want to cause trouble....
A good question to have on the tip of the tongue is:
"By what authority are you ordering me to stop / to go / to come?"
(i.e. What law exists to authorise you to restrict my freedom?)
If no answer can be provided, then what authority can there be?
Thanks to Joe Noonan.
Nice bit of footage.
Yes you've every right to free yourself from any pig who attempts to illegally deprive you of your liberty. Well done for exercising your rights to walk away.
If the footage will show that the cops never informed that gentleman that he was being arrested, or why he was being arrested, then that will be a defence to any accusation of resisting arrest. Which shows the value of video evidence, to counter any lies the cops will spew to the biased ears of Judge Mary Devins, if any such incidents come to court.
The gentleman whose voice we hear on the footage, is asking the right question(s). "Why are you arresting him?" etc. Always ask questions, because their refusal to answer will help you.
But, what is not a good idea is to suggest to the cops what they should be doing like "You have to this, or you're supposed to do that, Garda". No, why give them advice or make suggestions to them? No, just ask them to account for and give reasons for their behaviour etc.
Questions Good. Suggestions Bad.
Video is essential to your protection.
Stay safe boys and girls. You're brave and good people. They are blind that don't see that.
Know your rights indeed.
