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.

Shell protestors defiant after five arrests in Mayo
By BreakingNews.ie / TCM
Five Shell to Sea protestors were arrested today after they tried to stop pipelining work on the controversial gas refinery in Co Mayo.
The Garda Water Unit was drafted in to quell the disturbance at Glengad beach near Belmullet after 15 people surrounded dredging machinery forcing a halt to work.
A garda spokeswoman said the men were taken to the local garda station under the Public Order Act.
"It is alleged the five men were causing interference with the Shell operation," she said.
Campaign group Shell to Sea said dinghies, surfers and swimmers surrounded the machinery and stopped work at around 10am.
"Around three gardaí in a garda boat began arresting the protesters and taking the boats," a spokesman for the protesters said.
"Today's action was part of a Shell to Sea week of action against the pipeline."

Eight men have been arrested in the sea off Glengad beach in Co Mayo during an attempt to stop work associated with the controversial Corrib gas pipeline.
Around 15 protesters in wetsuits entered the water shortly after 10am and temporarily halted dredging work. They were swimming, in kayaks and on surfboards.
Members of the Garda Water Unit arrested five people on the water under the Public Order Act at around 11.15am. A further three people were arrested at 1.30 pm.

Eight released after public order incident
Thursday, 21 August 2008 19:38
Eight men, who were arrested following an incident at Glengad in Co Mayo today, have been released without charge.
The men were arrested under the Public Order Act.
A file is being prepared for the DPP.
A spokesman for Shell Ireland said protestors were kayaking, surfing and swimming in the area where the Corrib gas pipe line is to be laid.
All eight were taken to Belmullet Garda station. They were freed without charge this evening.
Protesters have vowed to continue with their action until work on the pipeline stops.

"Protesters were attacking the Shell workers who are going to make us all rich" said a Fianna Fáil source. "If there was any justice in the world they would all be in jail".
(the last one is made up of course, but probably not far off what they will print tomorrow).
____________________________________________________________
The Independent did print a completely one sided view, which reads like a Shell/Garda press release:
Here's a bit of it: "Three of the protesters who were arrested are English and are affiliated to the Great Rebel Raft Regatta -- a group which is also protesting at the E.ON coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent, England, in a bid to try and prevent coal-carrying ships from reaching the facility.
The rest of the protesters who were arrested are not from the local area -- many are from Munster -- but some are known to gardai from previous protests in Glengad and Tara."
to Irish waters! And thank God they came! Perhaps the knowledge that it takes Albion to come to the rescue of the collective Irish ass might get a few of us up off it!!!! The same happened at Tara too, it was the English numbers who swelled the ranks when it counted. If they came from China, Australia, Timbuktu it wouldnt matter, are they trying to make the protest less viable by pointing that out? It dosnt make it any less viable, it just shows us up for what we as a Nation have become.
Good luck, Solidarity, keep up the fight!
A formal complaint by local fishermen against Shell has been lodged.
Today (23. aug) in the afternoon ( 2 pm ) we saw the Solitaire and some ships with big cable drums on board (e.g. the Normad Progress) in the harbour or off shore of Killybegs.
It seems that they haven t started to work yet.
