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.

To Josh,
Great mail, hope you get busy spreading the message.
Some more informaition on Palestine solidarity work at www.ipsc.ie
Cheers,
Ronan
This march refers to the 5 June anti-Israel protest and only attracted around 200 people - do not know much about the September march you are refering to.
The estimate of a few hundred for the Cork protest against the Israeli actions is way too low at a few hundred. At its height, there were 1500 people on the march in Cork on Sept 5th.
A final pair of photos, of the march sitting down on Cork's city streets.

yes indeed.Obama has to get on the case,before Israel's Likud boneheads pulls the house down in their super-samson holier than thou cyclopian myopia.Get out there in front of your Congressman's limo with a placard.My suggestion?How 'bout-
MISTER OBAMA
TEAR DOWN THIS WALL
ICH BIN EIN PALESTINIAN.
Glad to hear that you've seen the truth, mate. Now do something about it! Write to your government, sign the Cairo Declaration, organise a protest in your area! Only we. as an international community, have the power the change the situation in Palestine.
Israel has been implicated in the theft of our passports and the kidnapping and beating of our citizens. Any Irish person who continuers to support this bunch of thugs should be considered a traitor to the nation...
Tell your friends!
Before this week I thought the Israelis had some semblance of honesty and decency. Having viewed the scenes on TV, having watched one Israeli spokesperson after another say 'they deserved it, we did nuttin wrong!", having read the newspapers, having got tired of justifications for slaughter, I eventually turned to the internet.
There I found Indymedia.ie, it was like having the blindfold taken off,
The stream of information showing, . . . NO: proving that the Israelis have told one lie after another was commendable - my heartfelt thanks to those who took the time to wade through the flood of Israeli lies to ferret out the truth.
As far as I can gather, almost ever word uttered by an Israeli spokesperson this week, has been a lie, including 'a' and 'the'
Like most people I presume that because I myself am generally honest, so to are most people - but my eyes have been truly opened while searching for news of what happened to the flotilla this week, the campaign of lies and propaganda instituted online by the supporters of Israeli in this past week is unsurpassed in modern human history
please zoom in on the controversial headbands, there is no Arabic writing which is on all hamas headbands...yes they are green, yes hamas have green headbands, however many entities throughout the islamic and arab worlds wear green headbands with no hamas connections. possibly they were expressing hamas support, hope not, but possibly if people knew more about the middle east they wouldn't jump to conclusions. there were politicians, socialists, mothers and children, buddhists, members of the gay community, countless other groups.nobody was excluded. do you complain about israelis who are crying out death to the arabs when celebrating our Irish civilians kidnapping??
today was a huge success.please do not focus on a handful of people who you disagree with when there was a huge crowd, and make it the focus. anyone else tired of this kind of game playing??
I was at today's protest. I called for the ending of the Israeli occupation of Palestine alongside Socialists, Students, Local Councilors, Human Rights Activists and, yes, Hamas supporters.
The fact that I campaigned alongside these people does not mean that I support their ideals, or that they support mine.
Today's protest represented the people of Cork expressing our outrage at the killing of aid activists by Israeli commandoes, the commandeering of civilian vessels in international waters by a military force, and the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. It was not a political rally. It was NOT a declaration of support for any political entity. And to suggest otherwise is both incorrect and provocative in the extreme.
-Orbett
I was there. I want to thank ALL who came for their expression of their humanity. Regardless of the appearance of individuals and banners or flags carried (I regard the Pirate Flags more appropiate for the Israeli Destruction Forces) this protest was my place to be today - to voice my outrage about the illegal blockade of Gaza, the murders, the kidnapping and illegal act of piracy and to express my mourning for the at least 9 members of the flotilla and the death of Rachel Corrie and thousands of other innocent human beings in the occupied territories and in Israel and the middle east. My admiration also to all those Israelis in Israel and around the world who courageously speak out with us against an inhuman ideology and its horrible results. Inspite of our condemnation of Israels actions we must not forget this.
Just one more thought - it is enough to tell the truth, we need nor exaggerations and no hatred. The facts speak for themselves. There is no doubt that some on the "Marmara" tried to defend themselves (though without guns but with whatever they could find). They had the right to do this because the attack by the IDF was legally an act of piracy. To attack a passenger ship in international waters is unjustifiable. The killing of civilians is unjustifiable. The inhuman treatment of the kidnapped is unjustifiable. The collective punishment of the people of Gaza is unjustifiable. The ethnic cleansing of the occupied territories is unjustifiable. PERIOD . The veil is getting thinner.
I should have also mentioned that the the rally was chaired by Kate O'Sullivan with enthusiastic chanting on the loud hailer from Driss Belmajoub and others.
A minute's silence was observed at the end of the speeches after which 10 black balloons were released, nine representing those killed in the attack on the mv Mavi Marmara and one for the people of Palestine.
More photos to be added here later by Ray from the WSM.
