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.

The Proportional Representation Lobby Thu Oct 30, 2025 07:00 | Charlotte Gill

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Personally I wouldn't believe a word these old crooks wrote. Maybe in the middle ages people were fooled by their pious act, but today we know then for what they really are.
Wouldn't it be good if these works were sold off to pay back the Irish Taxpayer for the €2,000,000,000 we have had to shell out to pay for Roman Catholic Sex Abuse?
Yes, TWO BILLION EURO, paid by the Irish People on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church, thanks to the Government!!!

The four 'anals', anyway.
The issue of one million euro donation to Louvain Uni in the context of the eviction of Squatti
Dei was not an urgency. The Town of Leuven is familiar and the Irish interests over there are
big +money. The Annals may have comprsied the Tony O Reilly selective memory of the
nobility but everything has it's place in the making of history, and the complete neglect of
the heritage of Tara (for example) is chronicled and safely kept by those with concern. The Poets
story tellers and protestors. there's official history and otherwise.
The Alice Maher is really good btw.
Living artists, musicians and writers are not something money can by and though the visit
of the president was widely publicised here and In Leuven, very few of the Irish community
over there thought to look at why the kids have nowhere to go...
The title of the above article was a bit unfair, because it focussed on the 'Four Masters' and just stuck Maher in
as another exhibition that is ongoing in the Capital. So, in the interest of redressing the balance, I am publishing
a Maher image entitled 'Chaplet'. Its technique escapes me right now, because it is a few years since I saw the image.
Its a three quarter profile, self-portrait of Maher.It evokes Fra Angelico Virgins and is set against a velvety black ground.
There were only three- to five originals and they are quite pricey. However, in an art historical, cultural expression context
they 'evoke' and resonate. One of the things that people talked about today at the IAWM conference was how they do not
recognise the image that our media portrays of them, and how the 'idea' of Iraq and the 'idea' of Palestine is what is
being wiped out- their unique cultural expression and their rich histories. and yet the dignity of the speakers and their
education in the importance of cultural expression is humbling. This is particularly in relation to Mira Dabit who
spoke of going through 12 roadblocks to visit family . The Iraq speaker told us of museums and archaeological
sites devastated by the purveyors of -corporatism- and market and I wonder what in the culture of money they seek to preserve
and pass on, that is so important to Western society. arrogance, destruction and greed?
We seem perfectly willing to bow to the destruction of our heritage and our cultural heart for profit.
Dick Roche who signed the destruction of Tara 24 hours before going to the EU desk to push the Reform Treaty
(aided and abetted by the Green Party and Charlie Mc Greevy in this morning's Irish Times) does not
state what he means by ' Ireland will be left behind' if we do not agree to this treaty.A catalogue of laws that
have eroded and decimated our culture and a lack of investment in Health and Education seems the by-product of FF
coupled with multi-million euro investment in places like Louvain (mentioned at top of article) which is a hard sell
and ignorant of what creates art.
