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 5The savings generated from the 10,000 reduction in numbers on the State payroll will not count when calculating monies to be redistributed to workers under the Croke Park agreement, the Government said today.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/0923/....html
Despite undertakings given at the time Biffo has now decided that he is going to rewrite the Croke Park Agreement. This is definitely a foul and its time that Biffo and his cronies were sent off!
The craven ICTU misleaders just sat there and took this latest insult from Biffos messenger boy, Dara Callery.
Come along on 29 September and give Biffo the Red Card!
At the same conference where the ICTU lapdogs didn't bark at Callery a Financier, William Slattery head of financial services company State Street’s Irish business issued his orders to BIffo:
He wants 30,000 public servants to be made redundant and a new lower paid entry level grade for the public service!
These parasites have the neck to go on the attack when we are bailing them out and paying off their bonds!
They have declared Class War on us! Lets declare Class War back on them.
I have great affinity with the thoughts of pat c, but unless the workers rid themselves of ICTU leaders who sat with employers and NODDED to everything that the government proposed - and intended - the public service will be decimated. These, apparently, very sincere ICTU leaders will nod wisely and claim that they've saved many jobs.
Remember - fool me once, your fault - fool me twice, my fault.
So far there has been very little in the media about this protest.
The ICTU site says
... which I guess means they kinda had to call it. It seems half-hearted to me, so it's not worth traveling from the west of Ireland to Dublin. I imagine that the ICTU has considerable media connections, which they don't seem to have used this time.
Perhaps someone could explain why the unions and opposition leaders have not called a general protest that allows everyone to express their anger. Is it they are fear-full of riots?
I think we will be known through-out Europe as a people that are easy to subjugate, as we do not stand up, even to the current madness.
I totally agree with Gordon. The majority of the people I work with or my friends/family outside of work knew nothing about this protest it was so badly advertised. Unless the organisers start advertising these protests properly they will never get the numbers they need to make an impact. As far as I can see it is only some union members that are gettig the information. I am an IMPACT union member and I recieved nothing about this protest or any of the previous protests. I get most of my information from another union entirely because I know one of their members. It's a shame as many people are extremely angry at the moment so the organisers should take advantage of that anger and get bigger numbers by getting the information out there
