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.

It's strikes me as odd considering the financial interests of India & Indians in Burma are greater than those of China, & considering that China has offered the world a statement on the current crises yet India none - that you would continue with a flawed geopolitical analysis & think your sincerity & anger best directed at China.
= Send the petition to India.
Sarko appeals to French corporate interests to divest
http://www.upstreamonline.com/live/article141312.ece
Despite US & EU & world sanctions being the favoured route of solidarity by the global buddhist & democracy supports of the Burmese people who despite the base of their operations being in Norway count on the most support from the USA -
Yet years of blaming the Chinese has meant an optimistic misinterpretation of increased links to India, Korea or ties with the formerly democratic Thailand.
Others arre taking a different tack -
the French Oil Corporation "Total" has since 1992 operated a gas pipeline in the southern Yadana region of the country.
Since Irish people are interested in pipelines, & know that most other countries don't really get to complain about them, some details -
"Total fin Elf" operate in common with 3 partners the US Unocal, the Thai PTT-EP & Burmese MOGE 65km of a gas pipeline which passes from the Andaman sea to Thailand
The landpart of the pipeline counts on 5,134 steel tubes of 90cm diameter by 12metres length, and counted on 2,000 employees and 700 bulldozers to construct. When questioned in 2001 about the corporate ethics of such involvement with the regime, a spokesperson (Jacques de Naurois) of Total-fin-Elf at their hq at "la defense",Paris remarked that isolation and sanctions would not help the Burmese people.
This has nothing to do with the Indian contracts signed for pipeline and hydrocarbon resource exploitation last Monday, nor has it anything to do with why people blame China for the Burmese problems.
Thankfully Ireland has no financial interests in Burma. But we do have restaurants of both Chinese and Indian food. It's yummy & there are veggie options just like the real people eat.
But Irish people do know about Gas & Pipelines..............and know how to trace them back.
They overwhelmingly belong to India & Korea not China

Burma (Myanmar) is a country with a population of over 50 million people. Once a part of the British Empire, Burmese activists took inspiration from the the Irish War of Independence and figures like DeValera, Michael Collins and James Connolly. After a fragile democracy, a coup took place in the 1960s, and a brutal military dictatorship has ruled over the country for 40 years.
Burma now has one of the worst human rights records in the world, with abuses including forced labour, sexual asaults, attacks on ethnic minorities and arbitrary arrests and executions
In recent days, opposition to this regime has reached a new level, with thousands of Buddhist monks taking to the streets in solidarity with the civilian population in daily protests.
Demonstrators have been arrested on charges of 'terrorism', a word now used repeatedly, worldwide, to stifle dissent.
Now, monasteries are being over-run by the military
Next, monks, nuns, students and civilians will be killed.
The military regime refuses to recognize the country's democratic leader 62–year old Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
--Write to the Military Regime:
Lieutenant General Soe Win
Prime Minister, State Peace and Development Council
Ministry of Defence, Signal Pagoda Road
Dagon Post Office, Yangon
Union of Myanmar
Both China & India have called for restraint. You'll be glad to know. Obviously it must be upsetting to see buddhist monks break their vows and engage in violence & hopefully the status quo of sending both Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi & Lieutenant General Soe Win letters will return shortly.
Over 60 people attended a Tralee vigil for the people of Burma, held in the square on Friday evening.
Dozens of candles were displayed as dusk fell, and the smell of incence spread in the air. A mandala image was drawn on the ground and people stood in silence, listened to drumming and took part in Buddhist chanting. Information was distributed and statement detailing the plight of the burmese population was read out
The event was organised by Kerry Burma Action Campaign in association with the Tralee branch of Amnesty International.
It was designed to raise public awareness of the Burmese situation. People were encoraged to contact the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and write to the Burmese Regime
Burma's military dictatorship has ruled the country for 40 years. The country now has one of the worst human rights records in the world, with abuses including forced labour, systematic sexual assaults and attacks on ethnic minorities.

It's smiling Aung San Suu Kyi, the pretty Nobel Peace laureate who lives in 54 University Road. Though of course this is a file image. Just like Foxnews told you Bush won the election, CNN just told you that the UN special envoy to Burma has met the prettiest Nobel Peace laureate ever.
It's official.
Don't go telling anyone she's dead.
She hasn't been carted off to a labour camp - ok.
She's not being tortured at this moment in a dungeon.
She hasn't been identified as a japanese photographer & shot. quick call - could have been a Chinese photographer or Korean - they all look alike.
But this is too unkind because the Burmese are a generally very pretty people & if only the world could help them exploit their prettiness they wouldn't have to work in sweatshops.
this is where your letters will go.
