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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11Kevin Flanagan should learn to respect people.
Saturday 12. for some months, he has had a post about meeting in Ballymun axsis centre
there was no metting. no notice of cancellation
staff at reception of axsis were not aware of any meeting taking place.
i am not fully sure but i think that if you followed his posts you'd have seen that things had changed to a protest outside the GPO and the gesture due soon also,
his article was in some papers and this will not be prevented from happening!!
hope to see you and take care,
Robert~
Kevin sent out notices to people who left their contact details and we notified Indymedia about the change of venue and time. I'm very sorry if you came out to Ballymun on the night. . No disrespect intended from either Kevin or myself .
We've had a few fucked up confusing meeting notices lately that needed fixing up.
There is nothing more off putting to a newly active person than making arrangements and cancelling stuff in order to attend a meeting / protest that doesn't happen. It's hard enough to get bodies out there at the best of times in this Irish weather and social climate of "apathy" or "I don't have the time".
The volunteers at Indy do their best to straighten things out but if people aren't careful it's a case of garbage in, garbage out.
We ask that people putting up meeting / event notices are clear, precise and careful about the details of those meetings ok?
Thanks

Temperatures are due to drop to minus four tonight in Dublin . Kevin wants to draw attention to the conditions in Artane which included conditions of real slavery ,not just wageslavery , for children like his brother MIcky . Kevin is determined that those who organized the cover up of institutional abuse are brought to justice . The christian brothers want to rebrand themselves as the Edmund Rice International and are currently lobbying to get official recognition from the UN as legitimate advocates of child welfare in the third world ; the Irish public are largely unaware of this . The three government reports have effectively given this organisation a clean bill of health . Kevin deserves all the support he can get .

You are a little hard to suggest Kevin ought to respect people.
He does and he respects the children of today, based on the experience he had with 'Abuse' he suffered as a young man.
Procedure, rules and regulations are but part of the executive function of life and we now know that by administration, and in particular relating to the Church as witnessed this week, the same administration is some able to contort, distort what is Truth.
Kevin stands outside the GPO. I would ask anyone to read the placards and share a view.
It is my belief that naming and shaming is the only option we can take.
Kevin is committed to a purpose. It is a pity we all do not share his commitment, Con
We ask the Legal Profession and the DPP to make a case via their 50%/50% ruling
Lisa - hello
Does anybody know why Kevin Flanagan feels forced (apparently?) to have to go to such extreme lengths?
Why are the gardaí not bringing criminal charges against the abuser/s - in circumstances where it seems there are witnesses to what sounds like very serious criminal abuse?
The best person to ask is Kevin himself. Please pay him a visit at the GPO if you get the chance , or come to the Department of Education in Marlborough St opposite the Pro-Cathederal for midnight December 24 . Kevin Flanagan will tell you how officialdom has thwarted the attempts by victims of abuse to bring their abusers to justice ,and the way that the state has conspired with the church hierarchy to buy the silence of victims through confidentiality clauses attached to the measly compensation paid out to victims .
My own view is that the whole of official Irish society is compromised by the abuse ,including the media . It has therefore fallen on brave individuals like Kevin to do whatever they can to publicise the complicities that allowed the abuse to occur in the first place and the cover-up that continues to this day.
just want say my fast is entering day six i want to thank the people from d ubiln for there support the response has been overwelming the fast will finish out midnite mass were we will burn the reports all are welcome
great standing with Kevin outside GPO for the week and also at the pro-cathedral burning the reports as the sheep ignorantly came out. (Hippocrates)
his lordship, the bishop came over to us and said that the law will take it's course, we will hold him to that but also he wont really be trusted to call for real justice!
so we have to keep fighting to see them on their knees praying for forgiveness and still being locked up for the crimes of both directly abusing children or those covering up the abuse.
these people should never be put over the care of children again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
