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. The Saker >>

press release
 Friday December 18, 2009 21:59 by John Hurson - Ireland To Gaza
The story of 10 Irish Humanitarians who are travelling to Gaza with vital aid over Christmas.
On the 27th of December, 10 Irish people in 3 vehicles loaded with humanitarian aid will attempt
to cross into Gaza. They will have spent 3 weeks on the road, and cover over 4,000 miles.
They form part of a 250 vehicle convoy, driven by people from all over the World.
Irish Humanitarian Delegation Travelling To Gaza
On December 27th, the 1st anniversary of the attacks on Gaza, a Humanitarian Delegation from Ireland will attempt to cross through the Rafah Border and deliver humanitarian aid to the stricken region.
This will be the final leg of their arduous 4,000 mile journey from Ireland. Their journey has taken them through Europe, and they are currently driving through Syria, and then through Jordan and Egypt. 10 volunteers from across Ireland will be spending Christmas on the road, and upon reaching Gaza, they will deliver 2 ambulances, and a truck loaded with humanitarian aid. They are travelling as part of the “Viva Palestina Aid Convoy”, organised by George Galloway MP.
By the time they reach Gaza, there will be over 400 people from all over the world in 250 vehicles.
Over £50,000 worth of donated aid is loaded on the 3 Irish vehicles. This aid includes medical supplies, blankets, surgical supplies and equipment, construction equipment, and food, among other vital supplies. Plus, there are over 500 shoeboxes filled by children from various schools across Ireland, and these will be delivered to a school in the Jabalia district of Gaza. This school was one of the schools severely damaged in the January attack, and in some small way, these shoeboxes will bring together children of the same age, 4,000 miles apart.
Among the Irish delegation travelling on the convoy are Caoimhe Butterly and John Hurson. Caoimhe is an International Human Rights worker, and was working as a volunteer medic during the 22 day attacks in Dec/Jan by Israel. Caoimhe witnessed some horrendous attacks during her work, including the shelling of schools, hospitals, homes, and attacks on medics. Her continued tireless work for Gaza is immense, and she is a true hero to many, not only in her native Ireland, but right across the world.
Tyrone man, John Hurson, is returning to Gaza to put the finishing touches to the Gaza GAA Club he has established. John has enlisted the support of GAA legend, Peter Canavan and Professor Noam Chomsky, who have both agreed to become honorary Presidents of the club.
As part of the aid on the truck, GAA goalposts, footballs, training DVD’s, books, etc, will be delivered to the club along with jerseys. Peter Canavan has donated a full set of jerseys from his school, Holy Trinity College, Cookstown.
John drove a truck from Tyrone, filled with humanitarian aid, in February of this year on the 1st “Viva Palestina Convoy”, and to date, remains the only aid to reach Gaza from Ireland this year. Due to the siege imposed on Gaza, very little of the $5 billion pledged worldwide has got through. John has been co-ordinating the logistics for the convoy in Ireland, and will fly out to Jordan on Tuesday 22nd to join the convoy on it’s remaining miles.

Take care brother and I love you for the sake of humanity.
Latif, Manchester
As an Irishman, I am so very proud of these fine Irish men and women for what they
are doing for Gaza.
To sacrafice their Christmas and spend nearly a month on the road is just incredible.
The aid they are bringing will no doubt go a long way in easing some of the suffering in Gaza.
I wish them a safe journey into Gaza, and their actions is a lesson to us all in humanity.
On Christmas day, I will raise a toast to them, as they deserve one!!
