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

IRSCNA: LGBT Pride Solidarity

press release
Monday June 30, 2008 04:28 by Danielle Ni Dhighe - IRSCNA

The North American section of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement issue a statement to commemorate the 39th Anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
28 June 2008
Irish Republican Socialist Committees of North America
LGBT Pride Solidarity
On behalf of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement, the Irish
Republican Socialist Committees of North America send solidarity
greetings to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people on the
occasion the 39th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion that marked
the birth of the gay liberation and gay pride movements in America and
worldwide.
The Stonewall Rebellion began on 28 June 1969 when New York City
police raided the Stonewall Inn, a bar in the Greenwich Village
neighborhood that catered to gay and transgendered customers. Unlike
previous raids, this time the patrons fought back. The Rebellion grew
to involve 2,000 protesters doing battle with 400 police officers over
several nights. The chant of "Gay Power!" became a rallying cry for
oppressed sexual minorities worldwide.
Many of the patrons of the Stonewall Inn were Black and/or Hispanic,
thus placing the Rebellion firmly in the broader context of the social
uprisings of Blacks and Hispanics against oppression in 1960s America.
After two decades of struggle by gay rights activists in the South of
Ireland, homosexuality was decriminalized in 1993 after the European
Court of Human Rights ruled that the southern statelet was in
violation of the European Convention on Human Rights. Although further
gains have been made in the area of legal rights, violence against
sexual minorities has increased, especially in the North of Ireland.
For over thirty years, the Irish Republican Socialist Party,
representing the political leadership of the Irish Republican
Socialist Movement, has supported equality for gays and lesbians,
beginning with the party's first convention in 1975, when along with
People's Democracy it became one of the first political parties in
Ireland to support gay rights.
The IRSP became the first political party in Ireland to explicitly
include bisexuals and transgendered people in an equality statement
passed at its 2000 convention, which stated, "The IRSP affirms its
commitment to full equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and
transgendered people."
On behalf of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement, the Irish
Republican Socialist Committees of North America demand full equality
for lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people in all spheres
of life, in America, Ireland, and worldwide.
Full equality in all spheres of life means we support the right of
LGBT people to adopt children and to marry, rights that are taken for
granted by heterosexuals.
Further, we demand that rights and privileges ultimately be detached
from marital status, and that family relationships be defined by the
people in them, not the state. People's rights should not be
determined by their willingness or ability to participate in state
sanctioned arrangements.
We condemn all physical and legalistic attacks on LGBT people, and we
stand in solidarity with the victims of homophobic, biphobic, and
transphobic violence. We demand an end to all violence and
intimidation against LGBT people, including mistreatment by police.
We demand that all people regardless of age have free access to
information about their bodies and sexual health unfettered by
political and religious doctrines that transform natural human
bodily functions into matters of shame or disease.
We demand that the medical and psychiatric establishments stop
enforcing sex/gender apartheid through the creation of false diseases
and the denial of medical care.
We believe each human being has an inherent right to define their own
sexuality, whether it's lesbian, gay, bisexual, heterosexual, or
whatever label they choose to apply to themselves, and we believe each
human being has an inherent right to define their gender identity.
Solidarity and pride!
