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.

Bank bailout is followed up by IMF loan... protest agains that too as the bank was only the key to open the door and the IMF are the robbers.
Ireland will not be degraded to a thrird world country!
Here is a BBC video of the protest at lunchtime today

BBC video of Garda assaulting protesters today
Little giggle and straight to the football.
The Gardai , (the B.B.C. Video says it all .)
They are still licking their way to promotion , typical Hard Men (sic)
Aongus O`Snodaigh was amongst those who broke through the Dails perimeter, some cop violence, people are expressing their anger

Protestors break through Leinster House security
http://breakingnews.ie/ireland/protestors-break-through....html
A number of people taking part in a Sinn Féin protest have managed to break through the security cordon at the gates of Government buildings.
Up to 50 of those taking part in the demonstration today managed to get through the main gates where they remained for a couple of minutes.
Gardaí managed to push back the crowd and they have now rejoined the protest at Merrion Square.

Its not a bailout. They are repeating and repeating that word to con the Irish people.
Its a LOAN with INTEREST due which the irish people will have to pay back, and conditions attached as per usual with the IMF. Most of the money we borrow will be paid straight to German banks so we won't even see it. But we have to pay it back all the same.
FF in collusion with their shady bank advisers gave a bank guarantee under dubious circumstances which I suspect benefitted both parties. I can imagine the conversation went something like this:
"Hey brian, ve stand to lose x billion if ze bank collapses.Accordingly, ve will deposit x / 4 billion in ze swiss bank account if you can somehow indemnify the bank and force ze taxpayers to pay. Ve get our money, you get looked after. Sweet!. And fuck the serfs eh brian? heh heh."
Get real people. This is how the world works. They play the ignorant card top disarm us but these people aren't stupid when it comes to feathering their own nests. You don't see these politicians, bankers or bondholders losing their homes. Just us dumb serfs.
Ganley was tweeting about all this.
He said it was not a bailout. It was more like "bond aid" and there should be a song to match. It should be titled "bleed the world"
Ganley was right on Lisbon. Now that is coming home to roost. We are expendable when it comes to core european interests. These people are only fairweather friends. They don't really care about our welfare at all. The stability of the german and french banks are all that matter. We need to understand this. As for cameron. well we know what he is concerned about. converting the British banks exposure into a long term loan to be paid off complete with interest by the poor serfs in Ireland. Cynical self serving bastards all. So why should we be honourable. We should do what is best for our own citizens not foreign banks.
green party think we should have an election. But only after they do a deal with the IMF and pass the 4 year budget complete with legislation.
My question is: what's the point in having an election AFTER all the important decisions have been cast in stone?
Another scam.
General election NOW!!!
Protest in Government Building grounds
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2010/1122/....html
A group of demonstrators protesting against the Government's handling of the economic crisis forced its way into a security area at Government Buildings in Dublin today.
Some 50 people including Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, protested outside Government Buildings on Merrion Street at lunchtime, shouting: "Cowen, Cowen, Cowen. Out, out, out!"
BBC News footage showed the Dublin South Central TD caught up in scuffles between the demonstrators and gardaí...

RANT
In light of a childish and thretening behaviour outside the Dail today by a so-called satirist it is time to reflect the lack of actual political intelligent humourous satire at the moment. I am saying this on the back drop of being approached by a guy who I believe is called Dave Mc Savage who turned up at the end of the protest today, not to highlight the jokers inside but to basically take the piss out of 'protester types', whom in this instance he believed to be of republican stock. Well he was met with a few articulate people who enjoy a bit of craic at protests and when questioned on his links with Fianna Fail and the nepotism of RTE and a few other slags he became furious and shouted at one of the group, storming off refereing to him as a stupid little Irish man.
In light of this and the bad coverage of RTE in general at recent protests I think we need to highlight their agenda more! RANT over. Hope this starts a debate on the issue.
Go raibh maith agaibh.
Democracy - the most corruption for the least bribery
here are the People that Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowen are really working for
The companies Goldman Sachs and Rothschild are paid by the Irish government to advise on the bank bailout etc - now we discover both companies are also bondholders in Anglo Irish Bank. So, we have the bondholders also acting as advisors to the State on how to deal with the bondholders and the bank bailouts. Anyone else notice anything wrong with that?
This is what you have to do when the come to takeover your house - the IMF are trying to takeover our house - Brian Lenihan and Brian Cowen are trying to give them the keys

Join hands - WE are MANY - they are but few
Look people I am not an intellect nor claim to be but I am fed up of the running of this country and its consequences as a result. Enda Kenny & co. are just stalling time to await their generous pensions. Can we not do more? We are taking this lying down, we need to to be more proactive like the French! The Government does not even pause to think about us little people!!!! If we accept this we will endure this penalty for a very long time.
lay down while the tiger danced...we've been waiting for the eye-opening collapse..use the interim to educate yourself and build contacts.
Its going to take still more time. The Native Americans used to say you should be planing for 7 generations ahead. We need more of their perspective. Read up on them while you're waiting. You may even have time to read our commentators from the nineteenth century. Davitt springs to mind.
