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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 102 of them were killed a few years ago near me, speeding, goin back to station.i was near killed by them the other day on the bike.its terrible.i see them joyriding around all the time-usually late at night when theres noone on the road-except drunken punters falling onto it of course
try the complaints commision-ha
was that they were chasing someone. If you found a burgular in your house and phoned 999, would you prefer they got to you before he knifed your family or followed the rules of the road?
I'm 100% in favour of a police ombudsman and without doubt the police have serious problems in their organisation. But lets not take it too far.
They were struck by a speeding car (a BMW traveling 60 plus in a residental area) at a junction responding to a (later found out to be false) emergency call.
I'll never be the Gardaí's apologists but the death of anyone on our roads is a waste.
One of the better ideas i heard recently was that there was going to be a critical mass with everyone dressed in black carrying the name of someone killed on our roads in the last twelve months (Gardaí, motorists and pedestrian)
It'd be a powerful symbol.
John and Aidan you're not really not answering my central point, namely is it ok for the cops to break every rule in the book? All road deaths are a terrible waste of life. I should point out that it was 6:50PM when this happened yesterday and Parnell Street was clear of traffic at this stage. They could have gone on the right side of the road with no problems at all. Why then did they fly up the wrong side of Parnell Street endangering pedestrians and motorists in the process? Was it just to prove that they are 'hard men'? And to show who's boss?
"Why then did they fly up the wrong side of Parnell Street endangering pedestrians and motorists in the process? Was it just to prove that they are 'hard men'? And to show who's boss?"
Paul I don't know why. I wasn't there, nor was I in the car, either were you I should point out.
Maybe it was a genuine emergency, maybe they wanted to get back to store street before the last donuts where gone, you're never going to know.
But you seem intent in painting a lurid picture of two cackling coke addled Gardaí tearing up the street for the fun of it, when you're not sure what was happening you're assuming the worse.
Ever consider a career in tabloid journalism? You're like the Anti Paul Reynolds.

Well guess what the capitalist Pigs are up to now? You'll never believe what I Saw last Night, I saw a Garda going into a Restaurant, a Chipshop. Is this not Conclusive proof that he is getting Bribes from the Owner??????He came out carrying a Brown Paper bag. It's one law for the law and one for the rest of us!!!!!!Never mind that it might Have been a Bag of Chips!!Where do these guys Get Off?? You're not Answering the question People. I want Answers based on something I Saw that might have Been True but seeing as no-one was On Parnell Street at the same Time no-one can back Me up so all you Have is my word to Go on. But now I'm going to type the whole Thing again in Case you didn't get it the First Time. Sorry if this doesn't make sense I've got a March to Go To!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In your first post;
"there is a concrete traffic island seperating both sides of the road so there was nowhere for oncoming traffic or pedestrians to go"
When in your second;
"I should point out that it was 6:50PM when this happened yesterday and Parnell Street was clear of traffic at this stage."....
So basically it's invisible non existant pedestrians you were worrying about.
Paul seeing as you have an abundance of moral outrage I suggest you check the terms of the Morris Inquiry tribunal, and see some real outrageous abuse of Gardaí power.
Don't worry Paul. For once that wasn't 'me'. The 'King Mob' who posted at 7:44PM this evening is an impostor. I'm the real King Mob. You've got away lightly this time Paul.
