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.

It?s Time to Make Judges Accountable Again Fri Oct 10, 2025 13:26 | Dr David McGrogan
Nearly 80% of Britain's 'Establishment' is Left-wing. No wonder our 'independent' judges keep making lunatic decisions. It's time they were made accountable to voters once again, says Dr David McGrogan.

The Technocrats Are Falling as Their Ideology Fails Fri Oct 10, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The technocrats are falling across the West as their ideology founders on reality. The cracking of the Net Zero consensus, like the end of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, is a moment of hope, says Dr Tilak Doshi.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10good to see that this is still being held,but i did'nt think it had been on the go for over 50 years
myself and a few friends will be there and will be proud to walk behind our national flag down o'connell street
fair play to RSF for this rally. RSF allow us all to remember our history, they are like an historical society in Ireland who always remember that what our people did decades ago must be done today. While 'others' continue to look forwards wrongly, RSF will always look backwards and be guided by those who have left us, our tradition of marching is strong!

Hi Larry !
Thanks for that - I'll see you and the kids on the day!
Hi Looking back !
Not so much "looking back" - although , politically , that in itself is no harm - as recognising that this issue is still a 'live' issue today, unfortunately.
If you "look forward" without realising where you have been , you run the risk of walking in circles.
Beir Bua agus slán go foill anois,
(and thanks again , Larry!)

Unfortunately, this clashes with the Stop The Cuts! No More Bail Outs! Protest! also happening on the same day, Saturday, September 19th, Starting at 1:00 PM at the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square! Now I have a very serious dilemma: which March do I go on? I know many others are going to have the same dilemma too. It's probably just unfortunate that the two equally important Events are happening on the same day at almost the same time and I suppose it's a good complaint that you have to choose which Event to attend given that up until recently there was a serious lack of any major Protests happening in Ireland!
Hi Torn Between two Marches!
It was decided today to hold the Eve Rally at 12 Noon on the same day (Saturday 19 September next) , from the Garden of Remembrance , instead of the originally advertised time in my lead post.
Apologises for this change to those who have made their arrangements based on the previously stated time , but it's for the better in the long run , as the RSF members and supporters going to the Rally all voiced concern re wanting to attend the 'Stop The Cuts!' protest as well.
And now we can!
Thanks!
Sharon.
best of luck to all who are going to both of these - good idea for rsf in changing the time , fair play for that
i'll be at the rally with a few mates and then we're gonna take part in the protest
hope they both get the big crowd they deserve
Hi Larry !
Both events do deserve a big turnout and all the RSF supporters and members will be going straight from the Eve Rally to the protest , so we'll probably meet up again at some point on Saturday .
See you then , Larry - thanks!
Sharon.
Hi !
A brief report and five photographs of the Eve of All-Ireland Rally held today (Saturday 19th September 2009) can be viewed at the 'Related Link' below.
A full report with more photographs will be published in the October 2009 issue of 'SAOIRSE' , which goes to print on the 30th of this month.
Thanks!

Na Fianna Éireann at the Eve of All-Ireland Rally , Dublin , 19th September 2009.

The march went well yesterday. It is a pity both marches clashed on the same day. Good speakers.
Our country sure needs a change of moral conscience.
I met a friend of yours setting up the stage.
Scorpio and dogged
Hi Scorpio and Dogged !
It did indeed go well on the day - although the change of time did affect the turnout , I think.
The speakers , Pat and Fergal , are both 'old hands' at delivering speeches and are very confident at doing so at street level (especially as Pat knew they had the match in the bag!) .
And you're right about the poor state of our collective moral conscience - people seem to have just practically given up ?
My friend at the stage area whom you would have been talking to , I think ,would have been either Andy , Paddy or John , as those three were 'seconded' to that particular job - myself and five others were on 'leaflet duties' , and we were very busy at same , which is a good sign.
Thank You for the comment !
Sharon.
