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.

13:16 - 300 strong Waterford Crystal block have marched up. Standing ovation from public. Dozens of uniformed guards around O'Connell Street. Angry mood in the city today.
That means it's almost certainly at least double that.
When will the government get the message to leave our money alone?
Take this money off someone else, not us! Anyone else! But not us!
Power to the march!
14:58 - Left at 13.50. Still going strong. Bigger than Irish Ferries and Anti-War march.
RTE have revised their estimate up to 50,000 - at this rate it'll be 250,000 by the 6-one news ;)
& then they got the first openly lesbian prime minister in the world Mrs Johanna Sigurdottir who just to top it off was the first prime minister who is legally married to a same sex partner as well - so she is a missus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3hanna_Sigur%C3%B0ar...3ttir For as we know just because you're married to a homosexual or hetrosexual doesn't mean you are one or are likely to have queer or straight kids. It doesn't work that way now nor has it ever.
Iceland is very like Ireland in many ways.
Except of course for Bjork, geysers, free heating, having no surnames and that terrible business with the whale hunting. But once you leave aside pretty much everything which makes Iceland the unique home of the Icelander the one thing in common with Ireland was the utterly fucked up trust put in the global banking system of neo-liberal economics and most particularly derivitative trading and so-called "knowledge based financialy service" model for economic development. But at least the Irish got a tram which they called Luas. The Icelanders may have lost their SUV's but they still have health care.
BBC says 100,000
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7903518.stm
As of 17:20, the RTÉ story also states that "Up to 100,000 people gathered in Dublin today to protest over the impact of the economic recession on workers."
Between 100,000 and 120,000. ICTU says more than 120,000!
"Up to 120,000 people have marched in Dublin in protest at how the Government is handling the economic crisis. The march, which was organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (Ictu), took nearly one a half hours to make its way from Parnell Square to Merrion Square."
great turnout, now STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE
No to talks between ictu and the ibec partners. keep marching and striking, spit on them, shout them down, boycott their businessess and go to newry and bankrupt the corrupt bastards.
It's time to do what every other European peoples would do. If they don't look for a new mandate lets give them ours and throw them out.
Cowen, Harney and Ibec should be prosecuted as the traitors they are. Not a word out of Turlough O'Sullivan was since he dipped his slimey hands into the pockets of low paid public servants. Not a word about the fat-bastards in Anglo-Irish.
"The pattern is clear: governments that respond to a crisis created by free-market ideology with an acceleration of that same discredited agenda will not survive to tell the tale."-Naomi Klein.

It would be too easy to let this Government walk away from the mess they have created.They must first explain and show us THE GAS DEAL .That deal must be re-negotiated to the benefit of the Irish people.Looks like our national natural resources are the only assets we have left .We as a people must protect our future.No more giveaways.

They will all be given away and have no doubt about it, if the citizens of this bannana republic that has now gone completly pear shaped as well, dont wake up and begin to realise that what has happened in Mayo will happen again, an act of Ecenomic Treason, commited by rotten, corrupt so called politicians, these actions can be best described as that of a Rouge State.
Should we have the revenue from the Corrib gas which now belongs to $hell, our economic predicament to put it mildly would be just a horrible thought.
But the reality is that the rotten deal was done, and not only are the people of North Mayo suffering as a result of this, that is those who were not bought off by the old Rule of divide and conquer, and who are still campaiging not only for their community, and their enviorement, but also for that of all the citizens of Ireland to ensure that we get what is rightfully ours, our childrens, and that of our G/childrens inheritance has been given away, and no matter what spin that $hell puts out, this is the stark reality of it for Irish citizens.
For stealing a loaf of bread in Ireland you will got to jail, but yet if you are one of the Golden Circle, or one of its lackeys, you can steal Billions and get away with it and they have the audacity to call this a demoracy.
This is the long fellahs legacy now at the tip of the iceberg, however it still has to go back down the other side, and that should be very interesting indeed.
Shame on them for hijacking our Country.
