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.

Unfortunately I couldn't make it today due to other commitments but well done, looks like a very good effort by everyone.
T-totally controlling,using force,bribery& violence against those who oppose.
O-obnoxious SHELL trying to clean up its image.
P-pollution worldwide eg,NIGERIA.
A-always for profit,people and the environment are the casualties.
Z-zero profit for the irish people ,support the people of MAYO & IRELAND say no to Topaz.
Thank you.
More power to the new group! People may not want to know how much they've been robbed......
Well done to all involved! We need to also pressure the Greens to pull out of government, bring about elections, and maybe the new government would have the BALLS to rip up the Shell contract. It is so unbelievable that folks still can't truely understand how we can possibly be throwing away one of of best chances to fix this recession, and also take a lead on a more sustainable future.
Great work, Kildare. And glad to see one poster there saying "NATIONALISE CORRIB GAS"
The robbery/giveaway must be undone.
That was mine! Only sorry I couldnt have got on board this sooner
Congratulations on your welcome exposure of the political giveaway of the natural resources.
Well done,
It's great to sea this sort of thing. HOW DARE OUR GOVERNMENT let this major investment in jobs and infrastructure be developed in the west. Since the foundation of the state our governments have done a fantastic job in keeping Cromwell’s drams alive and refused to develop the west. Our governments have even convinced the eurocrats of the need to suppress the west, decreeing a 'special' BMW underdeveloped region.
Please keep up the protest and always remember to F**k the west.
The gardai have spouted lies about corrib protesters for a long time. They claim repeatedly that the campaign against SHell is led by Sinn Fein, Erigi, or the IRA and some people seem to believe these lies.
If the IRA was involved in this ,would it not be reasonable to assume that there would have been a lot of explosions and assaults on foriegn mercenary thugs and that traitors would have been punished. (AS they should.)
People like DECO should realise that they are being conned by Fianna Fail controlled Gardai on behalf of SHell.
The only people that wear masks in ERRIS are IRMS mercenaries,Gardai and the special branch.
The protestors are not afraid to show their faces or their identities and we welcome support from any people that are willing to help us no matter what group they belong to. Our campaign is and always has been non violent but active demonstation against corruption, the only violence has come from the state appointed thugs.
WELL DONE KILDARE. We hope that you can show the way to the rest of Ireland.
DEFY THE LIES AND VOTE NO TO LISBON. The law in Ireland only applies to ordinary people.
Kildare Sinn Féin Welcomes New Shell to Sea Group in Kildare
Following Saturdays protest outside the new Topaz petrol station in Newbridge, Kildare Sinn Féin welcomed the newly established Kildare branch of the Shell to Sea campaign. Sean Downey welcomed the protest on behalf of Sinn Féin who were present on the day commenting that “it is very important people are aware that our countries oil and gas reserves are firstly being given away virtually for free at no benefit to the people of Ireland and secondly, the reserves are estimated by our government to be worth in the region of €540 billion” he went on “let’s just hold that figure in our minds for a moment in the wake of the Bord Snip Nua recommendations for ruthless and unjust cuts targeting the most vulnerable in our society like pensioners, children and the unemployed. If nationalised or at the very least bringing the taxation levels on Shells profits into line with other European countries would provide the country with cash desperately needed to invest in health and education, alleviate the taxes, levies and cuts imposed by this inept government, most importantly it would allow us to stimulate the economy and to get people back to work”.
Lets get more protests up and running!
Well done to the folks in Kildare but was there no protest outside the Green Party's Hilton Hotel bash in Dublin the previous weekend ?
That was the gig where they got their 66 per cent on the nose, in favour of the Lisbon business, a vote, that even some hack on RTE said would "make the Iranian President blush."
Eamon Ryan said the following day on RTE that they had "not forgotten Rossport or Tara".
Those "greens" should be harried and hounded at every hands turn.
Hi Eamon,
Indeed there was a picket at the Green party Conf on Saturday 18th ... see here http://www.indymedia.ie/article/93192 and http://anarchism.pageabode.com/andrewnflood/picketing-i...rence
All the Best,

An-mhaith ar fad! Keep up the campaigning! Its great to know and see that people all over this little island are FINALLY waking up to whats happening in the west!
Most people are still unaware that Topaz is the new name for Shell in ireland, and so the boycott of Shell which was becoming stronger in Ireland has faded. The name switch was a good move for Shell, for now anyhow. If anyone has any doubts about the name switch tell them to check out the oil brands stocked by any Topaz garage. Shell Oil?
Why boycott Shell? As consumers we still have a vote in our spending,admittedly the rich have more voting/spending power but in a sham democracy where consent is so engineered as in the current vote yes campaign we have few other options other than getting independant education and making informed spending choices. If you dont know why we should perhaps make the choice to boycott then please do the research. i think you will find a good plan is buy fair trade products wherever possible and boycott the Shells and Monsantos and Nestles of this world. Bless the internet and all who sail with her.
