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.

Defecatin' deficits, Batman, they're at the gates.
Criminal damage? Reverse that charge.
Nothing these crooks say means anything and they have royally screwed us all so at least we might as well get a good laugh as the ship goes down. Thanks for the chuckle Sean / Madame K
;-)
I started work at 6.45 am and soon after heard about this 'acion'. Well if that didnt plaster a smile on my face, this video certainly did.
Thanks,

Nice one.
Look at the puss's on our employee's , every one of those civil serpents is supposed to be
slogging away on our behalf , but they're not , If the entire country could view these pictures as an employer, i wonder would
we , as employers , sack the whole shaggin lot of the employees & run them down to the North Wall to find gainful employ
ment in another country , benefits excluded and given the run-around as we are given here .
I salute the truck driver , its a pity only one showed up today .
Madam K your reporting is mentioned in two papers this morning ,1000 hits on youtube overnight and loads of possitive comments.
I heard he was kept in overnight and will be in court this morning at 10.30am to be charged with criminal damage. On the 8.30 news they said the Criminal Court Parkgate St. Hope he gets a strong turn out in support!
Excellent work on that video Madam K :)
There was very little support for Joe outside the courthouse, I was there. And while his stunt may have caught the imagination of so many people rightly outraged at what banks and politicians are doing and have done, Joe McNamara was part of a layer of society also responsible for helping to create the problem.
He is a property developer and only vexed because he now has about E3 million worth of debts from his vast property portfolio. He is angry that he is now not a profitable landlord, no sympathy from me.
People like him got caught up in the whole free for all attitude,money was being spent and run into overdraft everywhere,the smart money folk were the only ones ahead of the game.
The EU bribed Fianna Fail to stop farmers growing their crop,so a lot of them got into the concrete farming industry,hence the present day.
Why do we the working class have to take the hit in cuts to our wages and hiked up taxes on things we purchase,and our wages,when it wasn't us to took the bribes and looked the other way..
I do not understand why we havent cut FAS loose as it a government scam that only benefits the government,and it does not rejuvenate the economy it drains it right to the core.
Why do our government insist on working off the old follow the U.K model,our government has not reformed or changed much in our english laws either..
Im voting the workers party!
I agreee 100% with Tom above, McNamara was part of the system that has brought us to ruin. Bankers and developers with the aid of politicans in high and low places such as the local councills created the mess. Planning regulations went out the window in the rush to lash up houses and hotels that no one wanted. Greed has landed Joe McNamara in the jam pot he now finds himself in.
Did he think it was that simple to become a millionaire, just borrow 100,000 and tripel your money by throwing up shoddy houses. A hero he aint, maybe a real one will come along soon, we could do with one.
This was not a serious incident - this was a minor incident, if these politicians can't grasp that, what hope is there for the country's future!
I love the way the Fine Gael politician makes a statement and then admits he wasn't there and knows nothing about it.
No heroes in this report, I'm afraid. But well done to the two reporters for the report on the reality that is 'clueless' politicians inhabiting Leinster House.
Well he was hardly a wealthy speculator.
The establishment would just love to divide and conquer us.
Who else is doing something serious at the moment?
Shame on our government..We need to get out and protest,we need to gather ourselves and our thoughts to the streets!
Indeed..we have no soundbites,where are the soundbites for the ordinary citizens (nationals and non nationals that pay tax,not the ones getting the envelopes under the table),where are the soundbites,there are none,so we have to get out and protest,all it takes is scheduling one day with your placards or posters that is all,one day out of your complacent coronation street watching lives!
it is estimated we will owe the germans along with some other small contributor member states of the eu,700 billion,not the 50 billion as it stands(according to those with heavily vested interests),but 700 billion before we can turn on our heel,and try to build ourselves back up again,no quick fix,so the national overdraft will be (i would say),a lot more than the 30 year estimate,im not going to worry about it as long as im out of the s***,and i can tell you this,i would quicker join the ira,then pay a penny of tax to these f***ers
i wouldn't vote for any of them,we need to burn the banks to the ground,thats what we need to do..
why have these banksters wiped their home addresses off the google map,it is obvious why,because there are some people who have every right to stand in front of them and question them,why can't the government take these people to task for all our sakes,most of us are in serious debt,including our dumb politicians,and our banks get the bail,while they are still threatening ordinary people with legal action if they do not pay the extortionate rates,they are holding us to ransom..we are all in trouble and nobody is doing F** about it..i suppose if your'e okay,its all good,but nobody is safe from any of the fallout from this national debt,they will be taking state jobs too you know,county councillors are the most corrupt by far..
Anybody living in wicklow know where the biggest fraudsters in our country live,i would like to pay them a visit..
