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 9great to see a party tackling the corrupt EU establishment. Is the Irish Peoples Movement along the same lines as the Danish Peoples Movement? They used to be a very strong movement and even got people elected to the Eu parliament for all the good that does! Apart from letting ff and labour type politicians keep their snouts stuck in the Brussels gravy train.
The peoples movement seem to be very similar to the Danish the peoples movement. They were quiet active during Lisbon 1 and Lisbon 2 and were very similar to CAUEC or Campaign against the EU Constitution in their left of center policies and work within trade unions. They used to have videos on youtube explaining the dangers of the EU empire and its many dangers and tentacles.
One of the four candidates seems to be with both the United Left and the Peoples Movement.
I suppost this is no harm as both groups are fairly left wing so there is a lot of common ground between them.
this sounds good I think it is well past time Ireland got out of the EU. Where can I get these leaflets I will be very happy to hand them out where I live.
Get ready for the long haul on that one.
The earlier act of union we were coerced into is still poisoning our progress. Besides, the EU is a curate's egg. And we cant abdicate from the increasingly gobalising world that has developed and is evolving. Europe generally presents a more measured approach to global issues than the other attempted monopoles on the menu. Wanna live in depression era US(Obama just announced another raft of slash-n-burn to appease the GOP as second term looms).China, maybe?Not at the minit, thanks.Post-soviet Russia?
There are no national solutions to the global problems coming down all our tracks. Its going to require we get out of a set of mental straitjackets inherited largely from the nineteenth century, and maintained by the vested interests through 20th century technologies. the hope is we can learn from the likes of the Egyptians and keep a grip on the potential of the new technologies of networking. We're going to have to take up the onerous task of practising democracy instead of devolving our responsibilities onto manipulable representatives.
That said, the only accessable political machinery is national(we cant elect our emperor in washington). Now if Enda was aware of what needs doing I reckon he would not just be kissing Angela's arse, he'd be organising connections to Greece, Portugal, Spain etc to co-ordinate a brake on the two-speed EU envisaged by the big boys. But then if we'd any political insight in the usual suspects we would not have allowed the UN be eroded the way it has been, without at least a rearguard attempt to rally the GA against the entrenchment of the dictat of the SC.
Just what paddy needs, the odds are agin us.
..on that slash-n-burn budget.

and the same neo-con agenda will come down the EU competition-uber-alles pipeline if Merkel and Sarkozy have their way.
The advantage, for the moment, is that the German and French populations still have a streak of historical memory as to the consequences of non-communal political extremism.

You are a remarkable man but let us get one thing into a level playing field here, there is major internal fighting among the left i.e. Independents going forward on their own agendas. Labour party tied at the hip with Siptu not forgetting the donations that Jack O'Connor subscribed to at 4 course dinners. Then we have Claire Daly, Richard Boyd Barrett and European Joe Higgins telling us all to default on the loans ...... let us get real here. We have to pay our frontline services. But here is my question: Where is the fraud squad in relation to Anglo Irish Bank - Bertie's annual tent contingent - Fingleton and Drumm and the rest of the Golden Circle. There are dark forces compromising the investigation into Anglo Irish and Irish Nationwide and hopefully whatever Government is coming in, they should have a moral duty to clean up things. There is one thing I know: Joe Higgins is a decent individual but if he fails in his Dail seat he still had the luxury of flying to Europe unlike the half of million people on this Island presently who are without employment.
Frederick
Dear Frederick,
What in the name of all the social networks are you asking ME about the fraud squad's agenda for?
It should be obvious to all that the only fraud getting investigated, once Enda de Nayshun straps himself in, is the poor fucker trying to get an extra pint or packet of cigarettes by doing an 'illegal' half-day's work clearing some pensioner's garden. i.e. Business as usual.
As for Joe H and Europe, I'd rather see him out there than all the fucking McGreedys, Flynns, Cox's pippins and the rest of the nest-featherers.To the best of my ignorance Joe doesn't even accept the full ladle from the trough that he could claim.
But do correct me if it aint so.
Glad to hear from the Peoples movement.
Hopefully once this election is out of the way they will meet
and start to grow again and consider putting their own candidates
forward in future contests in the next few years.
