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.

Thanks for the words of encouragement, we hope to do justice to Bob Doyle and what he stood for.
Dinny Barry was an OC from Cork who died on hungerstrike here in Newbridge in 1923. There is not much about him and others as it was so long ago but there is a little bit of info about him and the hunger strike (below) if your interested.

Bob Doyle was a coummuist and a member of the Connolly Association in London,Eugene McCartan is currently the general secretary of the Communist Party of Ireland,why is he been but down as a book seller,do you not want to mix with commuist,if so do not call your cummon after Bob Doyle
Eugene McCartan is not speaking on behalf of CPOI on the night so that's why Connolly Books is down. Bob Doyle was also in the IRA as I'm sure you know, it's where he gained his training that he would later use in Spain fighting fascists after fighting the fascist blue shirts here. As I'm also sure you know plenty of republicans were and are still communists, no harm in that is there?
Thanks for the interest
Kildare SF- did I read this correctly, "many republicans were communists and still are". If Irish republicanism believes in the message of the 1916 prolamation then I would be of the opinion that a communist would not endorse the same message. However, Sinn Fein are now unionist republicans so perhaps there were communist republicans. Pearse and the lads must have forgotton to include Marx it their historic document.
Great name for a cumann he waz in IRA with frank Ryane
When was Bob in the I.R.A. and if sinn fein are coummuists,why is Gerry and Mary Lou not telling us?
bob doyle would be outside thomas cook with the protest today with sinn fein .
Bob Doyle was in the IRA before he went to fight in spain
Bob Doyle wasn't in the IRA , he was recruited into Republican Congress by Kit Conway. Doyle would have been supporting the Cook's strikers after he became a republican and a communist, but was actually a bit of a St Paul character in reverse according to his autobiography . Before meeting up with Conway , Bob was a blueshirt and a fervent catholic .
Redundant Republican thinks there were no marxists at t.he GPO in 1916 , but James Connolly was a marxist . So were the Lemass brothers at the time . A jewish member of the IWW from the East End of London called Allen -now buried in Dublin's jewish graveyard - was a marxist/anarchist , came over to join the rising and died in a bayonet charge . The founder of the New Zealand Communist Party whose name I don't remember was at the rising and was interned in Wales before sailing to New Zealand
Thank you Mick. James Connolly was many things to many people. Maybe more a socialist than any other ism. One thing for sure, like Bobby Sands, their sacrifice has been abused and desicrated by so many. Bob Doyle - any relation to Johhy Doyle, Kildare GAA hero. Maybe they should call the cumann after him, might get a few votes for SF.
If Bob Doyle was alive today he would have no prob if Sinn Fein named a cumann after him .Bob would not be a Sinn Fein member but work with them.
Donnchadha De Barra is the name on the bronze plaque on Barry's grave in the Republican Plot in St. Finbarr's Cemetery. It is one of the three raised graves at the front of the plot - the others been Terence McSwiney (Toirdbhealac Mac Suibhne) and Tomás Mac Curtain.
Looking forward to it but have a few questions.Why have the Communist party of Ireland secretary speaking?I know he is there as a Connolly bookshop guy but thats just a front,like saying the SF Bookshop doesnt promote Sinn Fein.
I have no problem with the guy myself jsut thought for a new Cumman in a very FG/FF town that a bit more pragmatism would be better.Mary Lou is a great speaker to have as a national face and a person who attracts non traditional S.F. voters.Just my tuppence worth
Sinn Fein are not Communis,they have a problem with it and commuis have a problem with Sinn Fein, Eugene sould not go to this meeting,and Bob Doyle name sould be left out of it.
Great name and all the best in Kildare, god knows politics needs a major shake up in the county.
Eugene is speaking about Bob Doyle because he along with Harry Owens are experts on his life and also knew him. He is not speaking on behalf of CPOI so felt it wasn't need to put it on the poster. It should be a good night all round and the speakers should be very interesting and the music will be top quality.
Glad people are interested, hopefully some of you will head down.
Well done kildare sinn fein about time you got going in newbridge .And some dif speakers fore a change,
might come to your big night.
