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.

Happy war, christmas is over
I wrote thisong last night and recorded it today with the help of the youngest drummer in Ireland, Liamo age 12. He' drumming for peace he said.Thanks Liamo
Anyway. With all the hypocracy from our politicians...Barry Andrews, Michael Martin, and Wioot O'Dea all condemning Israel invading Palestine they should be called out for their forked tongue in cheek commentry. They may say they condemn the killing of innocent people but leave our Shanon airport open to The US to supply all the hardware they need to do the killing that they say they condenm....one dispairs.....

Hope it works out and people turn out to support this action, can't make it but would love to see photo's here after.
In a format that can be screened elsewhere. It would be good to see this screened soon in Cork, Galway etc. More signatures for the letter still being sought. This is an ongoing initiative and anyone can help a bit with it by raising awareness in whatever way.
Israels Immigrant Absorption Ministry is setting up a new network of propaganda bloggers who speak foreign languages. Volunteers who send the Absorption Ministry their contact details by e-mail, at media@moia.gov.il, will be registered according to language, and then passed on to the Foreign Ministry's media department, whose personnel will direct the volunteers to Web sites deemed "problematic."

P.S. Is the footage you are showing available on download anywhere?
The footage is available on the al jazeera english language website - they released a lot of their footage of events in Gaza under a creative commons license
Here is a small but very important piece of PR
Watch CH4 on Thursday night the 22/1/09 at 11.05 unseen footage of the collective punishment of the Palestinians in Gaza, the Zionists have been rumbled, now let the civilised world know about it.
It's too early to offer a comprehensive analysis of how and where either geographically or cyber-globally the Israeli propaganda machine has succeeded in pushing its spin. But there are obviously some places worth noting where the efforts have not paid off & naturally those appeals for volunteers to blog or comment on behalf of the Israel state as reported in Haaretz and mentioned on this site were well noted for their emergent network value.
anyway -
The European call back two weeks ago to protest the slaughter in Gaza saw about 20,000 people mobilised to march in Barcelona, amongst whom were counted the current minister of the interior and leader of the eco-communist party ICV, Joan Saura. Immediately after his participation Shutz and right-wing interests rounded on his presence as minister with responsibility for policing such gigs and @ least a bit of a peek at anti-jihadist investigations and stuff in what they termed a "pro-Palestinian" if not "pro-Hamas" march. They also connected his presence there with his abscence at a recent Holocaust memorial event - perhaps he inadvertently had made the sloppy mistake of providing ammunition to those who can afford it.
However, the regional Catalan government tripartite coalition are old hands at handling such complaints and have surely noticed the boom in PLO scarfs. It stayed pretty local politics. We may pause to consider how whoever makes PLO scarves these days has decided to make them multi-coloured before distributing them throughout Europe to be sold or hawked by illegal migrants working if at best - "on a paltry minimum wage".
But for once it wasn't in either Catalonia the seat of the Mediterrranean Union or Madrid's ZP image conscious support for the Egyptian ceasefire proposals with juxtapoised double visits by the Spanish Foreign minister and Spanish Defence minister to Jordan & Lebanon.
Nope.
instead it was the two city enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla which Spain holds on the African continent's Morrocan coast just opposite Gibraltar ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceuta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melilla ) who got to present an extraordinarily united front (all political parties left to right and all muslim collectives) in condemning the Israeli attack on Gaza.
Quite simply coz ambassador Shutz when speaking to the "New Economy Forum" said that Spain has two fences in Ceuta and Melilla to protect itself from migration and Israel built its wall to protect its citizens" http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/reglas/han...8/Tes he was up to the usual scurrulous Israeli propaganda forked tongue mischief.
Ceuta and Melilla are legally sovreign territory belonging to the Spanish state with majority muslim populations who constitutionally administer their affairs as autonomous regions of a comparatively democratic state their fences are part funded by the European Union and jointly policed by both Spanish state and the Morrocan state dsepite its irrendentist claims to both cities.
Sure God, only one of them Ceuta / Melilla citizens ever got sent to Guantanamo but he came out the other end 3 years later.
don't forget to tell your kids what Gitmo was....... shush you wee langer one more stroppiness out of you and you're off to Gitmo!
So even if we indulge the people of Ceuta & Melilla and forget articles such as "How high can you jump for the beautiful life?" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/71750 & "Really!!!! how high can you jump for the beautiful life" http://www.indymedia.ie/article/72231 which explained how the EU's migrant barbed wire is in fact the longest toughest nastiest unseen thing which has never got graffiti.....
Their united declaration is completely true as it can be read by people who'd bother to check the source link below.
Israel had not legal right under international law to build its wall.
Israel ought to be held responsible under international law for its crimes
