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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7There's no place for burning one side's flag and certainly no place in dressing anyone, aspecially no young children, in uniforms. Are you against war, or are you against the Israeli side alone? Was it the other way around would you protest or would you cheer?
The burning of the Israeli flag, and positioning children in a militaristic fashion should be utterly abhorred as tactics in this issue. I stand four-square behind the Palistinian people at this time, but it does nothing for our cause to imply violent impulses in our movement.
And people attempting to score cheap points by criticising the Young Greens for their parent organisation's actions are ebodying the boring sectarianism which besets all progressive-minded movements in this country. Grow up.
" but it does nothing for our cause to imply violent impulses in our movement"
- A symbolic jesture of burning flags is not violent
- "dress children in military fatigue" - does this include white people wearing combats ?
Green Party have no right to take any moral high ground on this issue. They are exposed for what they really are, supporting "terror" - shannon airport. They indirectly cause more suffering to people around the world than children wearing "military fatigue" our people burning flags, even if these were made in sweat shops.
I would be more concerned about the hundreds of people being killed then a few home made flags being burned.
I wholehearted disagree with the suggestion that burning a flag is a non-violent action. However regardless of where you stand on the issue the point must be conceded that what is important is that large numbers of people come out on the streets to show their support for Palestinians and that the current momentum is sustained and built on. Actions like burning flags, dressing children as soldiers will only alienate a large number of people who may not be regular activists but feel strongly enough to come out and protest about this issue. An Isreali friend of mine was a protest where a flag was burnt and she was horrified and also afraid that people might find out she is Isreali.
Also in Cork at one point during the protest, protesters were asked to sit on the ground and then over the speakers, some organisers started to chant Allah Akbar. As someone mentioned earlier this week it seemed like the protest had be hijacked by a minority to push a certain agenda. These actions wont build momentum rather erode the base of the movement.
I don't like people burning flags and dressing children as martyrs, but if they must then on their own time. I can't and won't be seen to condone these actions
so what if someone burns a flag? the flag of israel is not a symbol of the jewish people but the symbol of the zionist state..a racist state built on occupied land whcih denies the previous occupants the right to return to their villages and lands!
i have no problem with people burning symbols of say fascism (not saying israel is fascist, although they are a reactionary state) or symbols of the klu klux klan or symbols of aparthied south africa...
israel is not a normal state the divide between jews and arabs isnt like the divide up north.. the only way it would be the same situation would have been if the brits had moved their capital to dublin and displaced all the inhabitants to a few square miles in the wicklow mountains, then cut off food, aid and electricity...
if someone wants to fly hamas flags, so be it, obviously its not nice to see children dressed in fatigues but these children seemed to be in the company of one man who seemed quite agitated and slightlly disturbed..so dont think we need to deduce there's some kind of ominous trend going on there...
as for the greens...christ...shannon for a start!...they turn up on the palestine protest and immediately start approving and dis approving certain forms of protest as appropriate or in appropriate.. ridiculous...
and i am proud to stand alongside people chanting 'allah akbar' even though i myself am an athiest because the question of religion is not relevent in this struggle.. when u see footage of a man weeping over the bodies of 4 dead children and he cries out to god as his only hope... and relatives of his here shout to god for help..noone can condemn that..how dare they!
religion may be the flowers with which people adorn their chains but the point is to criticise the chains...
I think burning the flag of the Zionist state is a worthy act and should not be criticised by a member of the youth wing of the Green Party. I see some very intelligent and well informed Rabbis also burning this symbol of the supremacist state of Israel.
