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.

In Defence of Cancelling the Left Fri Sep 26, 2025 17:00 | Dr James Allan
Should the Right take the moral high ground and refrain from cancel culture? Or should it give the Left a taste of its own medicine ? and try to teach it a lesson? It has to be the latter, argues Professor James Allan.

It's time to admit that Christians are being persecuted in two-tier Britain, says Belinda Brown. The flimsiest claims of 'offence' from normal expressions of Christian faith are getting people sacked and arrested.

Greta Thunberg's Gaza flotilla has been thrown into chaos after one of its activists came out as queer, prompting the organiser to resign. Homosexuality, of course, is criminalised in Gaza.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Not looking too likely. Labour only look like the left because we are contrasting them with the most right-wing bloc in the country, FG. Pink ripple in the blue cheese.
Varadkar was on Morning Ireland stating that his model for economic development is ISRAEL.
Hello, Ireland. Now who's lands can we invade and plant our settlers on while we hive the natives into concentration camps, as a source of cheap labour, with a little help from our imperial uncles and their subvention billions?
Expect, so, an increase in swinging our spanking new, brand Oirland, Smart Economy into the weapons sector, that exciting area of predicted growth, even as food prices rocket to ensure a healthy export market for our native multinationals(well, native till the real players see them ripen up). Our deepening relationship with NATO will ensure demand never flags in the former expanding sector for our native entreprenuers. Our surplus population will also find this conducive to employment prospects in exotic locations, from Iran to Korea.
Of course, due to unforeseen market forces, our own populations may find it difficult to afford the latter exciting export products, but there should be a few spuds left over from the animal feed. We deeply regret these temporary measures, which will last no longer than is strictly necessary; unless that becomes strictly necessary to sustaining the lifestyle to which we intend to become accustomed. Albert will dispense pet food for those in dire need, at reduced prices, from our exciting and electrifying public/private Department for Social Succours.
This will also ensure that those currently suffering delays in acquiring Irish passports will no longer be inconvenienced, as our Tel Aviv call-centre staff have access to the latest technology requisite to the expeditious processing of their applications.
Kayd Meely Shaloms, from Enda d Skayl.
And I never even mentioned our new Minister of Foreign Affairs. Guess whose coming soon...to an eviction near you.
Sunday Tribune closure coincided (to the minute) with the election announcement.
(We might not notice y'know.)
We've seen that type of manipulation before:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1358985/Sept-11-....html
.
I see your point, C. But then the tribune has been stumbling for a while(though you might argue that it is a paper that might have been read for offstep lines on the smoke and mirror election games, and why quit when the next month is looking newsworthy and breakable even).
The one I was noticing is the convenient announcement that a Russian diplomat is being expelled as a result of passport scams for the sleepers in the US. Micky Mouse martin proving himself cunninger and deviouser than his bushy tailed media image reveals?
The internal FF media support is certainly circling the wagons round him as the new extra-clean Irish broth of a boy. He's getting free access and a very soft ride all round, dictating the issues at will and wrongfooting and outflanking without any reminders as to his funking the Israeli passports for actual terrorist assassinations(as opposed to the relatively dormant nature of the aging Moscow sleepers) and aid ship to Gaza piracy and murders.
Sinn Fein morally lectured for their armed struggle, but if we use Shannon to facilitate Iraq etc. that acceptable.
RTE are treating FF like its a fresh deck, rather than just a change of window-dressing.
Same old guff in a fresh, puppy-eyed wrapper. No interrogation of the slick delivery.
As they say, just because your paranoid dont mean there are no real conspiracies. The FF machinery is still well oiled. 10 laptops lifted very professionally from the revenue office where investigations into FF/developer tax-evasion was being checked out, and the media spinning it as 'opportunistic'. A little paranoia is better than a loada gullibility.
"The one I was noticing is the convenient announcement that a Russian diplomat is being expelled as a result of passport scams for the sleepers in the US."
That announcement neatly coincided with the election deliberately as well.
As a trading partner we need Russia.
So we chuck one of their diplomats out when nobody is watching.
.. slightly different.
More as a timely demonstration of Micky's defence of our threatened sovreignty, last refuge etc. My point was that 'neat' coincidence.
