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.

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.

offsite link 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

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.

Radical and revolutionary change is demanded

90th Clonmult Martyrs Commemoration

Speaking at Republican Sinn Féin’s 90th anniversary of the Clonmult ambush on February 20 2011 the President of Republican Sinn Féin Des Dalton said:

“A Cairde agus gcomrádaithe is an onóir dom a bheith i gContae Chorcaí

“In the early months of 1921 the war against British imperialism was reaching a crescendo. On March 1 Con Murphy of Millstreet was the first volunteer of the IRA to be executed under the martial law which had been imposed on Munster. If Munster can be described as the wheel of the Irish Revolution during the period of the Tan war then truly Cork was its hub.


“The war fought by the various Cork Brigades of the IRA was textbook guerrilla warfare fought against the British Empire. The volunteers of the Cork Brigades brought the fight to the enemy in an efficient and effective manner, choosing their point of attack carefully, remaining on the move at all times.

“The book Rebel Cork’s fighting Story describes the conditions which the IRA had to contend with: ‘ The IRA had to fight and learn the business of fighting at the same time; had to prefect themselves to a degree of discipline and skill that takes years to acquire in regular armies. Their volunteer spirit, zeal and their objectivity helped them to become proficient at arms in a short time and turn them into soldiers who could act with high intelligence and cool self-control in any emergency or enterprise, whether collectively or individually.’ Because of the effectiveness of the campaign in Cork and the losses the British had suffered there, the British response in Cork was all the more brutal such was their anxiety to send a message out to the rest of Ireland.

“By the early spring of 1921 the British war machine had failed in its attempts to contain the war in Munster or Cork, despite the imposition of martial law. Under Commandant Diarmuid O’Hurley the East Cork flying column attached to the 4th Battalion of the First Cork Brigade IRA set up headquarters in a farmhouse close to the village of Clonmult.

“Twenty men had been chosen to take part in a number of planned operations, using Clonmult as training and living quarters. However 90 years ago today on February 20, 1921 as the column under acting OC Captain Jack O’Connell prepared to move out in order to attack a British military train at Cobh junction, the column’s position was betrayed by an informer. A Company of the British army’s Hampshire Regiment surrounded the house.

“The battle which ensued and its bloody aftermath wiped out almost the entire East Cork flying Column, resulting in the deaths of 12 volunteers, the largest single loss since 1916 to date, and the capture of nine men, two of whom, Paddy O’Sullivan and Maurice Moore, both of Cobh were executed at Cork military barracks on May 5. The book Rebel Cork’ Fighting Story records the reaction of the men when called on to surrender: “Intensified fire and A Soldier’s Song was the answer of the Irishmen who had sworn to be free.”

“The majority of those killed at Clonmult were shot in cold blood following their surrender. It should also be note that the men at Clonmult threw their arms into the fire which engulfed the house rather than surrender them to the British forces.
The Column commander Diarmuid O’Hurley was to be killed in action by British Crown forces on May 28 1921.

“The events at Clonmult as well as the Kerrypike massacre a month later - when five volunteers were bayoneted to death including Michael O’Sullivan, uncle of Daithi O Conaill-were war crimes.

“The ideals which burned in the hearts of the Clonmult martyrs still burns bright in the hearts of a new generation of Irish people. Again young Irish Republicans are prepared to resist British rule in Ireland while defiantly pledging their allegiance to the All-Ireland Republic of Easter Week.

“The fact that today in Maghaberry and Portlaoise prisons young men are imprisoned because of their belief in the full freedom of Ireland gives the lie to those who would say that British rule is now accepted in Ireland. If we are to draw any lesson from the history of our nation it is this; while there remains a British army of occupation in Ireland there will always be a section of the Irish people prepared to resist it.

“The internment of Martin Corry and Brendan Lillis in Maghaberry prison again exposes the true face of British occupation. A march in Lurgan, Co Armagh on January 23 also showed the true spirit of a new generation who defied the British Colonial police and their threats when they held a very successful march calling for the release of Martin Corry. Since then the RUC/PSNI have issued threats of arrest against a number of the organisers.

“The presence of British soldiers on the streets of Newry this month again drives home the point that British rule remains a reality for the people of the Six Counties.

“The proposed visit of the Queen of England to the 26-County state is part of the campaign being waged by Leinster House, Stormont and Westminster to normalise Britain’s immoral and illegal presence in our country. The message of Irish Republicans could not be any clearer: British occupation will never be either normal or acceptable, legal or moral. We will be actively opposing a visit by the head of the British State to any part of Ireland and we are calling on all who value Ireland’s right to nationhood to join us in the protests against this visit.

“This coming week the people of the 26 Counties will be asked to vote in an election, which is meaningless. Merely exchanging one set of gombeen politicians for another changes nothing and certainly does nothing to relive the all too real economic distress being experienced by working people throughout Ireland.

“We hear much from the array of political parties contesting the election about change and reform. Some even speak about building a ‘New Republic. Irish Republicans point out that we had an All-Ireland Republic, born out of the fires of Easter Week, carved from the granite of the 1916 Proclamation. This very real All-Ireland Republic was subverted by force of British arms and the treachery of a section of the national movement.

“We are calling on people to spoil their vote in this election and by doing so tell the political elites that they are not prepared to prop up a failed and discredited state. The two partitionist states have failed and are obstacles to the building of a New Ireland.
The change which the current situation demands now is radical and revolutionary change leading to a New Ireland.

“Republican Sinn Féin’s social and economic policies Éire Nua and Saol Nua can once more make that All-Ireland Republic a reality for all of the Irish people.

“As Irish Republicans our steps must be ever onward with no retreat from basic principle. I leave you now with these words of that staunch defender of the All-Ireland Republic Brian O’Higgins: “Our slogan will not be the defeatist cry of ‘On to the Republic’ as if it never existed, as if it did not exist to-day. Our slogan will be ‘Rally to the living Republic for which our martyrs gave their lives! Rally to the flag that has never been lowered in defeat or surrendered in dishonour! Rally to the cause that has been made holy by the blood of martyrs in every age, the cause of the unyielding, uncompromising, unconquered and indivisible Irish Nation!’”
