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

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 >>

MV Rachel Corrie prisoners to arrive home tomorrow
The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign has just recieved word that the five Irish prisoners from the MV Rachel Corrie, which was hijacked yesterday by Israeli forces, are due to arrive in Dublin airport at 11.20am tomorrow morning. There will be a welcoming committee to meet them and press conference to follow at 3pm in The Central Hotel, Exchequer Street, Dulin 2.
 MV Rachel Corrie being boarded by Israeli Navy Freda Hughes of the IPSC said, " We are relieved that the prisoners from the MV Rachel Corrie, but we must remember that they were illegally kidnapped and taken against their will to Israel."
The boat was the last remaining vessel of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, a 40-nation effort to break through Israel's illegal blockade. The Corrie's 11 passengers, mostly Irish and Malaysian include Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire, former UN Assistant Secretary General, Denis Halliday, Member of the Malaysian Parliament Mohd Nizar Zakaria. The other Irish on board are Fiona Thompson from Dundalk, and Derek and Jenny Graham from Mayo.
The boarding by Israeli forces is in defiance of a direct call from the Irish Government, which had formally requested Israel allow the ship to reach Gaza. On 1 June, the Irish parliament also passed an all-party motion condemning Israel's use of military force against civilian aid ships, and demanding "an end to the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza."
Freda Hughes, spokesperson for the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign said: "The significance of this flotilla of aid was two-fold; its intended purpose was to deliver much needed supplies to the people of Gaza and to break the ongoing illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip. This blockade, which has gone on for over three years amounts to collective punishment of 1.5 million people - condemned to face enforced and avoidable poverty, human rights abuses and appalling hardships - often just because of where they were born. It is the duty of every right thinking individual of conscience to ensure that such inhuman treatment is no longer allowed and ignored by the world."
Ms Hughes continued: "The Rachel Corrie remained committed to this purpose and rightly rejected the Israeli offer to reroute to Ashdod . To accept this offer would have been to legitimise the siege of Gaza. The IPSC calls for the immediate lifting of the illegal blockade, and the granting of an autonomous sea-port in Gaza that would allow the people of Gaza open and unfettered communication and access to the international community."
Ms Hughes concluded by urging the Irish government to sanction Israel. "Earlier this week the Irish Parliament passed a unanimous motion stating that if the Rachel Corrie was not allow safe passage to Gaza, then the Irish Governmnent would take "further diplomatic measures" against Israel. Th Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign hope that the Irish government is as good as its word on this issue and immediately takes diplomatic action against the rogue state of Israel."
The 1200-ton cargo ship was purchased through a special fund set up by former Malaysian Prime Minister and Perdana Global Peace Organisation (PGPO) chairman Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. Its cargo included hundreds of tons of medical equipment and cement, as well as paper from the people of Norway, donated to UN-run schools in Gaza.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Any news on whats happening with the cargo and the boat?Have they stripped out the cement?What are the terms for the ship's return and when?
Scuse my ignorance if its already posted.
In further attempts to force the irish govt to break diplomatic ties, I suggest ye invite the Turkish, Nicaraguan, South African and Ecuadorian representatives in Ireland to explain the hows and whys of their countries cutting of ties, recalling of diplomats etc...

I must say that I admire nobel laureate Mairead Maguire for her personal commitment to peaceful and imaginative campaigning. It is a long time - over thirty years - since she spontaneously responded to the deaths of her relatives after a fleeing IRA man was shot by soldiers and crashed into a group of children.
Some people would rest on their laurels, but Mairead steadily campaigns. Her actions shame those of us who gaze from the sidelines.
