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.

She is the heir to a throne that has carried out the most appalling acts on the Irish people and while it is always good to move forward and embrace "Peace" it is first necessary to have repentance, forgiveness and closure.
For instance the British media still portrays the Famine as an act of God and the bad farming practices of the Irish instead of the deliberate and calculated Holocaust that is was. This is not a contrite offender. The British "Monarchy" and Elite need to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of their behaviour toward Ireland. They need to list the exact nature of their wrongs and be willing to make amends. Whether this could ever be by way of financial recompense is a matter for legal minds who should at least consider the political kudos of making such a claim.
At the very least, for the reasons I have outlined, a peaceful protest would be called for. Others may feel she should be attacked by any means necessary and for that reason I for one will be keeping my protest a long with from the Parasite. Shock waves play havoc with my burst eardrums!
You are totally right Joe and you express your self very clearly.
The English Queen must not be allowed to visit Ireland, it would in appropiate until she and her government have made amends. As for financially that I feel though welcome it is not possible, because there simply is not enough money in the world to correct such diabolical outrages and surely what value could there be on blood money?
The English have a lot of apologising to Scotland for the Land Clearances, to Wales for the flooding of thousands of acres to make reservoirs to supply places like Birmingham,
then there is the ceturies rape of the Welsh coalfields.
To India, Pakistan, Hong Kong etc because you name a country that they haven't abused over the years?
Keep her out of Ireland.
It's the English/British ruling classes that are culpable for so many Imperial crimes; many 'English'/'British' working people have been victims, serfs, & wage-slaves themselves for time out of mind. Many people that we might perceive as 'English' because of their accents will be part-Irish, or sympathetic to Irish causes. The British Army will always get recruits from the scrap-heap of unemployment.
The UK & Europe also owe a huge debt to Irish people who joined British forces to fight the Nazis in WW2; respect to them for their courage . The relationship between Ireland & the UK is hugely complex - no nation or 'race' is too virtuous to be above exploiting others, or their own folk, for money & power.
Nor should we be too proud of our own 'purity' while Ireland is being dragged into the US/UK wars and used as a stepping-stone for rendition/abduction/torture flights.
The Queen's visit could be used for a dignified demonstration for Irish sovereignty & secession from US/UK imperial wars.
"The Queen's visit could be used for a dignified demonstration for Irish sovereignty & secession from US/UK imperial wars."
Lulu I concur with much that you have said except for the above, my reasoning being that the Queen of England has no political clout, therefore the message of your proposed demonstration would only be carried by the media and open gross misinterpretation; especially by the English press. However one effective and old way would be for those lining the route to turn their backs on her.
Given the nature of the gutter press in Ireland & UK, any demonstration against the status quo is likely to be misrepresented (one reason it wld need be dignified), but that's not to say it's futile. The British Army has garrisons in scores of countries & Mrs Windsor-Guelph-Pooter is their nominal boss. She may have no executive powers, but she has lots of money (tho I don't know where!) and value as a figurehead. How much the Queen understands of international affairs is debatable, as she will have been well-indoctrinated, but a message can be given to her & her retinue, & to Ireland & the UK, by resistance to the warmongers who are pulling strings in the US & UK.
Opposing Mrs Windsor's visit just shows the cringe-making immaturity still available here. The best antidote to the past is self-confidence, not a riot. Otherwise they win, eternally....
At least Mrs McAleese won't be going down on her knees and kissing rings like she did in Rome, that was just as cringe-making. But RSF said nary a thing about that?
Besides, I once met a man in a pub whose dog told him that the Windsors are descended from Niall Noigiallach, so perhaps she will go down well with the "Save Tara" campaigners.
Hi Percy !
You go to strange pubs .
And you do so too often.
Sharon.
I think the back turning would make an interesting media stunt. I'd like to see that.
But alas, organising the irish public on a large scale to do something in their own interests is futile. sales of hello are high here. And the people lining the streets won't be politically savvy, just fawning sycophants.
There's been so many attempts to rewrite irish history lately, english warships in irish ports routinely, US planes in shannon, MI5 plants, bertie addressing english parliament, big road through tara, resource giveaways galore.
Of course its inevitable the queen comes over to take a piss on the recently economically re-colonised. Sad times for the once proud Irish people
Lots of our cousins have done OK when they engage in the wider world, even in Britain, such as Gus O'Donnell (see below).
The world does not revolve around N. Ireland, and it is increasingly ridiculous for heads of state in the EU not to visit us here, like the queen, but to greet McAleese only in London. I am quite indifferent to a visit, but if it has to happen I object to a surviving and needless inferiority complex.
No cringing, no rudeness, because each represents all their people, and the queen represents also a lot of Irish people in Britain (or are they still described as "deserters"?). Save the protest for some real live issue, not this symbolic stuff.
...on your part , Percy , to suggest that because "lots of our cousins have done OK....even in Britain" we should welcome a visit from the Queen of England.
What has one to do with the other ?
Hi Percy!
The world does not revolve around the Six Counties , true enough , but Mrs Windsor's Office has seen to it that it still retains a jurisdictional claim to that area , enforced by a military presence , and it is not exhibiting a "needless inferiority complex" in facing that fact.
And that , Percy , is the "real live issue" and, in my opinion, one worth protesting over. By all means , Sir , stand in O'Connell Street (perhaps better known to you as Sackville Street!) and wave your 'symbolic stuff' in greeting of the woman if you want , but please don't tell me I have an "inferiority complex" because I decide not to stand with you.
Thanks!
Sharon.
In my humble opinion, all heads of state who preside over human rights abuses ought to receive articulate opposition to the wrongs they represent, but will they even be visible to the likes of us? Remember Bush's visit back in 2004?
The partition of the North is hateful, yet there were times when Brit Army patrols saved the lives of Catholics/Nationlists & citizens from the Republic from atrocities.
Hi Leo !
Even if , whilst taking part in a protest/picket , we are not actually 'visible' to those we are protesting against we can be fairly sure that our actions will at least register with them by the ensuing publicity in the media about the protest.
Re 'Brit Army patrols' - if it wasn't for the atrocities of their political leadership they wouldn't be here in the first place. That political leadership have it within their 'gift' to put matters right , late and all as it is for them to do so.
Thanks!
Sharon.
