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.

A statement from M. M. Mc Carron on a recent unwanted encounter with 3 Shell staff
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
MARCH 2009
I would like to express my irritation at being approached twice during a recent Conference by Shell representatives who insisted on introducing themselves and almost compelling me to first have coffee and then lunch in their company at All Hallows College. On the second attempt I felt I was deliberately being identified by one for the benefit of the other two whom I had never seen or heard of before. I had never spoken or been introduced to the first person either. I was suddenly confronted by three strangers, only one of which I recognised. Other participants were taken aback.
This was a membership conference for representatives of religious institutes and Churches who are subscribers to the Ethical Committee for Corporate Responsibility. Members attending the Conference were pre-registered and a list was immediately available. It was apparent that the Shell representatives had not pre-registered and were not listed either by name or company. The agenda addressed investment guidelines of an ethical nature.
Other than interpreting it as a form of harassment I could give no explanation for the approaches of proffered handshakes and invitations. I do not speak to such representatives since Shell took me to task by bringing a formal accusation of lying during a Channel 4 programme to the BBC Complaints Commission in the Nineties. I had to swear an affadavit on the matter which Shell later withdrew.
M.M. Mc Carron.
(M.M. McCarron gave me a copy of this statement at a meeting on Friday at the Clarence Hotel, Dublin. It is posted here with her express permission.)
Well done all-keepin the fire alight and strong!
Solidarity!
John Sauven, the executive director of Greenpeace UK, said that Shell had “rejoined the ranks of the dirtiest, most regressive corporations in the world ... After years of proclaiming their commitment to clean power, they're now pulling out of the technologies we need to see scaled up if we're to slash emissions.”
Any more info on this?
It must of took them by surprise, to see you all there. keep up the pressure, 345 bar on them, surely they will crack ! This report just out for Saint Patricks Day, seems strange, bribes all over the world
but not in Ireland. WHO would erver believe that ? Just ask Ray Burke.
HAPPY SAINT PATRICKS DAY TO everyone But $hell
