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 6The campaign links etc are on the newswire- in the hope of expanding the discussion a little
can I ask if OSF have found out the actual plans for its preservation and conservation and also
to draw attention to the Government's plans for a shopping mall and cafes at the GPO.
It will also have a museum, apparently. the entire area is up for'Civic regeneration' and it would be
interestig to look at plans for the whole Carlton area including the HQ, the GPO, The Catlton
cinema complex and to see how these projected plans effect the whole ideology of urban
regeneration for community or for profit?
I believe the extent of the palns for the area would be included in any urban regenerative
plan for the city centre-either in the DCC offices or as part of the urban renewal plans of
the NDP- The focus should be on the area and how it responds to the needs of
'community' within the city centre and for those who may be utilising it for commercial
purposes. Community needs should preceed the profiteering of developers and regenerating
our communities whilst retaining the historical or iconic significance of the buildings
is important to the needs of 'now'.
a good starting point is to look at whether consultative processes have begun in
discussion with all effected communities- these usually come under EIS-
Environmental Impact Assessments and under the aegis of An Bord Pleanala.
DCC has copies of NDP.
Ownership of land titles and consultation with environmental awareness groups
such as An Taisce are useful places to go and search for relevant info- has OSF
got an eco lobby ?
Certainly it has no aesthetic value whatsoever and calling it a meeting place of the Provisional Government is stretching things a good bit. For one thing it would also depend one’s view of the reality legitimacy of this “Provisional Government” which many would regard as suspect. If it can be regarded as the Government of Ireland why not the regard the Army Council of the Provisional IRA as the legitimate Government as many SF types do or at least did. Ditto 32 County Sovereignty Committee or the INLA Army Council or the new Republican breakaway lot or whoever proclaims themselves thus.
the shopfront looks interesting and the signage alone makes it worth a visit. Plunkett heh? Any connection I wonder to the landlords with republican connections that owned half of Ranelagh?
When so much of Dublin is being torn down for speculative development, consideration should be given for the preservation of anything which survives, however insignificant.
The urban legacy we're leaving our children is a decidedly early 21th century one which is rendering the capital indistinguishable from cities all over the world. Sure, they'll keep the Metal Bridge, Merchants' Arch and James' Gate and all that stuff but who remembers Darby Square or Patrick Street/Clanbrassil Street prior to the road widening in 1990?
Whatever about it 1916 connections, the shop should be kept as a monument to the 20th century.
Its status as a National Monument is worth sod all by the way. If the moneymen who control what the city looks like want it gone, it will surely go. Look at Lismullan...
ÓSF could do us all a favour by finding out what exactly the Corpo say they're going to do about it, but should be equally prepared to occupy the building like their grannies and grandads did before; those who own the Carlton site don't give a shit about anything except money and a bit of a kick in the arse wouldn't do them any harm.
Well said there, the last poster. The truth of the matter is that if they found the lost city of Atlantis, the first thing they'd do is put in planning permission for apartments.

Why leave the project to Dublin City Council? I have a hard time believing that the shinners (or Republicans in general) don't have the money to purchase this property if it was for sale and they wanted it.
Hit up the Americans. You'd have the money in a weekend.
