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

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. The Saker >>

Basque and Irish runners to run a mini-Korrika in Dublin on Saturday 4th April
Irish and Basque runners will stage a mini-Korrika in Dublin on Saturday 4th April and hold a fund-raising event after at the Cobblestone in order to raise funds for the promotion of the Basque language in the Basque Country. The Korrika runs every two years in the Basque Country, attracting around 600,000 participants. The current Korrika is being held currently, to cover 2,500 kilometres and last 11 days, non-stop, with runners running even through the night. Most people who visit the Basque country, especially the southern provinces, are impressed by the advances being made by the Basque language, Euskara, not only in the schooling system, where the majority of children in three of the four southern provinces are now receiving their education through the medium of the language but also in its daily use -- particularly among the Basque use. Unfavourable comparisons with the progress of the Irish language are inevitable, despite Éamonn Ó Cuív's recent statement that Irish is not in danger as it is the official language of the Irish state.
The Basques, despite the partition of their country and the fact that they have not yet achieved independent state status, just seem more serious about the promotion of their language. The Korrika is one immediately visible sign of this commitment. Korrika means a "run" in Euskara (Basque) and is the name of a country-wide walkathon organised by the Coordinator for Basque Language and Literacy/Learning (AEK) in support of the Basque language. The objective of the event is to enhance awareness of Basque and raise funds to carry out this work on a daily basis in AEK schools. Today AEK is the Basque Country’s most important organisation in the field of adult language education in Basque, with some 100 schools and more than 600 teachers.
The first Korrika took place in 1980 and it’s been organised every two years since then. The walkathon has become the Basque Country’s major event in terms of number of participants (around 600,000 people). Over the past 28 years 15 Korrika have been held.
This year's Korrika began on March 26th in Tudela (Nafarroa province) and will finish in Vitoria-Gastheiz (Alava province)on April 5th, lasting 11 days non-stop, covering 2,500 km throughout the Basque Country. As in previous years, hundreds of thousands of people of all ages and fitness levels are already taking part.
A hollow baton is carried during the walkathon and exchanges hands at each change of kilometre. Inside there is a message which will not be made public until Korrika ends on April 5th, when a well-known Basque personality will read it out loud.
Each kilometre of the course is “sold” to an organisation or individual who becomes the front runner for that section of the race, carrying that hollow baton, preserved from the first race held and adorned with the Ikurriña (Basque flag). Following the front runner, the main body of runners are led by a banner with this year’s slogan:
“Ongi Etorri euskaraz bizi nahi dugunon herrira !” (“Welcome to the land of the people who want to live through the Basque language!”). With this slogan, the Korrika this year is both paying tribute to the migrants who settle in the Basque country and send their children to the ikastolak (Basque-language schools) but also encouraging the adults to learn Euskara.
The Korrika is not just celebrated in the Basque Country. Basques around the world also organise events to show solidarity and raise funds. For the first time ever Basques and Irish are organising a mini-Korrika on Saturday 4th of April in Dublin.
Irish and Basque runners are to stage a mini-Korrika in Dublin on Saturday 4th April, starting at 6.30 pm sharp from the Ambassador cinema, O’Connell Street and finishing at 7pm at the Cobblestone Pub, 77 North King Street where a fund-raising function will be held. The documentary “Intimate journeys”, especially commissioned by AEK to celebrate this year’s Korrika, will be screened. Food and music will follow.
Friends and supporters plan to meet in Conway’s Pub, 70 Parnell Street at 6pm. Dublingo Korrikaren Txikiko Lagunak/ Dublin Friends of Korrika-Txiki say that they welcome participants and spectators along the route and also at the welcoming at the Cobblestone at 7 pm where entry is €5. The organisers state that all funds raised in excess of costs will be forwarded to AEK.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The Korrika is being run in the Basque Country right now and Basques and Irish people plan to run a mini-korrika in Dublin this Saturday.
Section of the 15th Korrika running through the night (note woman in front carrying the baton -- see story above)
Place has been closed for over a year!
Indeed, as "Observer" notes, Conways' is no longer open (sadly missed). I contacted the organisers and they have now changed the pre-meeting at 6pm to the bar on first floor, Teachers' Club, Parnell Square. They apologise for incorrect information given.
I'm a Basque person, living in Ireland and just read this article. Its a pitty I didn't see it before the event. Have you got any post Korrika info? Will it be organized again? Have you any idea if there is any Euskal Etxea in Ireland? Thanks.
