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.

I think this meeting is essential in the current climate. The weather is chronic, the recession digs deep, and Mary Lou loves to show that style and grace - the Sinn Fein Lady of Fashion. Now I don't know how the people of Finglas will judge this but the question asked is (on the above posting) - Who will be the Unionist Speaker......
Well, I don't know if the question is serious or sarcastic so lets go both roads.
Seeing that the Chuckle brothers have retired from the Music Industry and have been replaced by the Grim Reepers, I think Ian Paisley jnr. would fit the bill perfectly, throw in Willie MacCrae - speaking about the Harp and maybe even he music of Tara Hall in years gone by. Also Sinn Fein may invite Lady Hermon and she could well give a speech on how to use Dublin bus to do your cross border shoppng.
Then Joe Higgins could come along as the only socialist left in Ireland and give a speech on our patriots, crossing the border on a daily basis, fighting like cats and dogs over a car space, in Newry shopping centre.
But on a serious note: I think it would be great if some members of Stormont came down because if there ever was a climate for diversity and an exchange of ideas for cross border trade - that time is now. Small businesses on both sides of the divide now could come together, share ideas, transform them into creating employment. Yesterday on RTE radio, as one economist said, it will be small businesses that will help get us out of this recession.
So the above question and it is only one line in the above posting is brilliantly put......it definitely shows diversity and transparency and how far we as a Nation we have become to invite a Unionist down to Finglas to give a speech on whatever Topic.
Well done to the above posting.

And off we go today ,our clothing from China or Bulgaria ,our Mo - Mo from The Land Of The Rising Sun, sox from Scotland ,Shoes from THE E.U. ,
and my computer from Limerick . In other words before there is nothing left that is produced in Ireland except the pint of Guinness or Milk , the politicians
would do well to show up in an oul Shamrock Car wrapped up in Arans and Tweed and then maybe ,just maybe we will allow the same 'sellers of spoof'
a few minutes grace before we are sold another Pig In A Poke .
The Trade Union Speaker will be Matt McCormack. He worked with SR Technics and was very involved with the union there.
I was at the meeting Sinn Fein did in Wynns on the Economy a few weeks ago and Matt spoke at it " really good speaker "
Looking forward to it. have any other groups said they will attend?
So the trade union speaker is Matt. He is in Sinn Fein, he ran for election last time. Why does the sign not say that?
Hi, appreciate your comment x, but when we were pulling this together we were debating who to try and get in. We knew we had links to the Trade unions who would send along a speaker. the main unions have no problem doing this and have done so before. But finally we choose to go with matt. the reason was that he works and SR Technics and is being made redundant, therefore he is in a similar position to many in the area and we feel his experiences would benefit the meeting. When he speaks he will be focusing on what he adn SR employees have gone through.
If we were trying to manipulate it, we would have put a speaker from SR Technics on the poster and left it at that.
believe me this is a genuine attempt to get a debate going in the area. We have sent out invitations to businessess and councillors in the area and we wish to see as broad a range of opinions there as possible.
At the end of the meeting it is hoped different people and groups can come toghether to form an independent group pushing an agenda for jobs. If youcan come along and see what you think.
