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.

A significant new archaeological site has been found in the path of the
M3 motorway, at the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. Believed to be a
fortified complex, the enclosure is currently being excavated by
archaeologists.
TaraWatch was alerted to the presence of the previously unknown site
last night, by an anonymous tip, and activists inspected it after the
archaeologists had finished work for the day.
TaraWatch is calling on Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local
Government, John Gormley, to place a preservation order on the site, as
he did with the National Monument of Rath Lugh that is being damaged by
construction work on the M3. According to section 14 of the National
Monuments Act, all work must cease immediately when a national monument
is discovered during the course of roadworks.
TaraWatch is also of the opinion that an independent assessment should
be carried out before the fate of the site is decided, in order to
determine if it is a national monument.
Located between the defensive fort of Rathmiles and the burial ground
at Soldier Hill, the newly discovered site is further proof that the
Hill of Tara constitutes a vast archaeological complex.
Activists plan to occupy the site today, after the anonymous source
indicated the demolition of the site is imminent.
"Is the Government reluctant to recognise the importance of new sites
for fear of facing further scrutiny from the European Commission?”
Vincent Salafia said:
“It is highly disturbing that the presence of yet another significant
archaeological site has been concealed from the public.
"It would appear that Minister Gormley is still failing to be open and
transparent on this issue, as he claimed he would be on taking
office.”

EU to take action over handling of Tara route for M3
Jamie Smyth in Brussels
The European Commission is expected to begin legal action against the Government today over the manner in which it has proceeded to build the M3 motorway near the Hill of Tara.The legal move is not expected to halt the construction of the road, but it will force the Government to defend its position at Europe's highest court, a process that could eventually lead to the imposition of fines if it loses the case.
Environment commissioner Stavros Dimas will tell his commissioner colleagues at a meeting in Brussels today that the National Monuments Act in the Republic does not offer enough protection for important archaeological sites.He will also highlight alleged weaknesses in Irish law that split decision-making between Irish planning authorities and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for industrial projects.
He cites the Government's action at the Hill of Tara as a prime example of how it fails to conform to EU law. In a draft decision, which requires the approval of commissioners before taking effect, Mr Dimas refers Ireland to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over these shortcomings."The commission considers Ireland's approach to decisions involving the destruction or removal of historic structures and archaeological monuments to be in contravention of the directive," says an explanatory note on the decision seen by The Irish Times....

Are the EU really serious, or are they just indulging themselves maybe (?) in a grossly corrupt window-dressing display of "friendly-fire" which is designed to hoodwink voters?
That way the European Union could appear to be doing something, and at the same time be doing absolutely NOTHING to halt the destructive PPP activities in the Hill of Tara area?
If the European Commission was REALLY serious about protecting our hugely important heritage sites, and allowing for the mountain of evidence of GROSS wrongdoing by our "public servants" (so called) which they have already been given, why did they not arrange, through the European Court, to impose an injunction weeks (or even months) ago for the purpose of stopping ALL work on the M3: until the very obvious legal problems are put right?
It's not just EU law that's been broken, Bunreacht na hEireann (the Constitution of the Republic of Ireland) is also being violated - according to Constitutional law expert Dr Gerard Hogan (Fellow of Trinity College Dublin). Please see at http://www.indymedia.ie/article/83821#comment204626 for further information on this particular point.
Evidence of the EXTREMELY serious (and widespread) PPP corruption at present ravaging the globe, and which is apparently UNSTOPPABLE, can be found via the following link: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=PPP+Swindles+Corru...earch
To get this site survey so wrong one has got to ask what was going on. To thread a major road though the Celtic equivalent of Pompeii, and not make an impact, what were they thinking?
A timely reminder of this document and chain of events is needed.

Daire O'Rourke, Senior Archaeologist, NRA
At the start, they stated that the disputed part of the M£ would only impact on five sites. To date they have uncovered 43 sites, most of which have already been destroyed. We at TaraWatch have consistently stated that we would call off our campaign if the NRA would allow Independent Archaeologists to inspect these sites. The have refused. They also refuse to answer questions such as "How Many Human Remains have been found?" and "Where are these remains now?". WHY ? WHAT ELSE ARE THEY HIDING?
One has to look at Noel Dempsey's brother Loman and his relationship with Raymond Potterton, ESTATE AGENT, who was appointed by Dempsey to the board of Management of the NRA. Yes, read it again, its true. They are currantly being investigated by the Fraud Squad in relation to fraudulent business practices through a co. called ERACASE and another Co. whose name escapes me right now.
It is Heartbreaking to see what they have done. May the Irish Nation never forget this rape of their Culture and Heritage... All to make a few greedy Bastards more money. Shame on them and their families forever.
NRA says it was old site, that wasn't finished because there were badgers there, they've moved so so work continues, where will the badgers go? work now continue lest any interrupters from others:)
URGENT
Calling out for support NOW and for the rest of the day at main gate Soldiers Hill N3.
2 Protestors are locked on to a tripod and are not moving until an independent archaeological survey is carried out on the newly revealed site.
Please bring banners, leaflets, warm and waterproof clothing, phone credit, cameras, video equipment, food and water.
SPREAD THE WORD, CONTACT ALL MEDIA.
Thank you
Protesters currently stopping work at Soldier's Hill have found bones at a site reported to be a Farming Field System. These bones have been found in the spoil heap. This needs to be investigated.
Thank you.
There has been one arrest. He will appear later today at Navan District Court. Further updates will be posted as recieved.
Thank you.
...total fucking madness in fact. Hope they can be stopped!
Blessings.
before the National Museum got a chance to see it. A major f*** on the part of the NRA, the archaeological company etc.
I am not surprised at the events taking place. It is in their best interest to complete the devastation as quickly and quietly as possible. Lurking about and working under the shadow of night has ever been the habit of the skulkers.
here's a report from the tarapixie's at Soldiers hill from the 16th to 19th of October http://www.tarapixie.net/blog.html
