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 5 6 7 8 9Irish Times article on the ancient tree that was felled by lightning:
I dont think the desecration of tara created our economic problems.More the lack of any values, other than those of self-enrichment in blinkered moneterist terms, led to our devaluation of nature and all other systems.
I foresaw the trajectory(though I had no way to project the time-scale)from the time the PDs launched their Thatcherite/Reaganite free marketeering stealth coup way back when, as did plenty more. We were muffled and sidelined(par for the course).
It did not take any occult clairvoyance to see where things were headed if you accepted 'there is no such thing as society' and 'greed is good'.
I am as disgusted as the next with the desecration of the landscape and historical sites, but I think you may have to sharpen your analytical assessment if we are ever going to get a halter on the idiots responsible for our plight.
The same values have been degrading our natural surroundings since at least the times when the neighbours decided to drop over and strip our forests for the building of a pirate fleet to 'rule the waves'.
The mad bit is that the Brits actually valued this archaeological heritage(at least towards the end of their extended visit)more than the quislings we are currently run by.
we aint gettin outa this mess by invoking spells and spirits. Its gonna take a little more application than that.
But good luck and best wishes with your resistance. Just start boxing a little more scientifically. You might even find your audience expanding.
It seems to me that cultural genocide will always bring about a severe backlash among those who survive it, and that it will take on every form and shape available to it.
And so it should (I believe); this is as natural as the flowers that appear in Springtime.
My hope now is that some of the backlash will translate into general election results which will teach the greed-ridden, power-mad, arrogant, and ignorant traitors responsible, that there are significant "pay later" type costs involved for those who ride roughshod over core aspects of our culture, and its unusually long history.

Some gas comments on this thread. Have to say, I do give credence to this curse stuff, goodbye FF anyway :)
She was brobably a witch 5 thousand years or so ago.
An ancient version of Mary Harney perhaps?
this fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain.
Anyway, Mary Harmey is not a witch. Just a sociopath / psychopath who is incapable of empathising with other people's suffering. Only interested in her own self serving agenda. Politics and executive positions in corporate environments are often liberally populated by such people. In their professions and our current social structures, such characteristics are often advantageous.
"This fragile bone structure would have collapsed under the huge gravitational strain. "
That's Mary Harney to a Tee.
Carmel - interesting perspective. Somehow I pay heed to what you say. There was folklore about Soldier Hill which in the decades of the car saw many accidents. There is a generation out there who still can share this lore.
William. Glad to see you back writing on Indymedia and the words invocation come to mind and say the time has come for the people to finally usurp these false gods and polliticians from their despotic greedy ways and means.
A visit to the bookshop today in Dawson Streen and to my horror I find the number one seller is Fitzpatrick tapes book....where do the profits go - o sorry maybe the legislation is that the writers have tax breaks.
Todays Indo has a good article. I would ask one question: I00 billion (not million) was the balance sheet deposits in 2008......where did this money go to. This is about Follow the Money. An example is track Anglo Irish branches to the Caymans, the Isle of Man, to Lichtenstein, to even Austria, Switzerland and the US. This was about Globalism. Then consider Drumm (Banker) and Dunne (Developer) and their strategic shift geographically to residence in the US and ask How? We know why?
Obama introduced legislation in the US to attract these cash rich entreprenneurs while he failed to tackle the Irish emigrants from the 1980's who did not get visas and are still part of a hidden people in US society.
Has Mr. Rooney US Ambassador a view on this?

nice new road-map for that particular quest just hit the market. Try www.treasureislands.org for details. Book by Nicholas Shaxson, ex FT and Economist Magazine.
Scratches a few of those awkward hidden corners where the puppeteers pile the loot, and shows the systemic organisation devised by that infallible ' invisible hand' of the market. Scuse my repetition.
