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.

We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20this was comfirmed to us by an air rainta employee during the summer at ecotopia.
someone from galway/mayo anti war groups should go there and have a look. Knock is not at all busy , 3 airlines and about 6 flights a day.
Surely someone reading this lives close enough to make a trip someday this week?
maybe Aer Rianta know anyway, sure they do, but your friend in Aer Rianta can hardly prove it if it's not their airport?
am I wrong about that? though Aer Rianta just did Dublin, Cork and Shannon?
who runs the other smaller airports?
F.B.O. handle the warplanes in shannon for refueling,accomation for crew and other personal services.so if some could check if they have an office in knock then "knock knock" could do the maths
This is the fourth time I've personally heard this, from different sources. Also possibly Baldonnell.
- This is the fourth time I've personally heard this, from different sources
Not to say that it couldn't be true, because I don't know one way or the other, but the fact that you've heard this story from different sources could just indicate that this story has been passed around a lot.
If anyone is familiar with Knock airport (or Baldonnell) they may be able to say if they've seen US planes there - or if the airport is even capable of handling that type of plane.
Until then, all we have to go on is whispers in the dark.
I live quite near Knock airport and am originally from even closer, and I haven't heard of any US planes landing there. However, they have landed there before, I remember being brought up to the airport by an uncle of mine some years ago to have a look at 'the jolly green giant', I think there were a couple of hercules transports there at the time, and so the airport can accomadate these aircraft, well if the runway can handle a concord....
I'm involved with the Sligo anti-war group, and will keep my ear to the ground, and will probably take a trip up there at the weekend to suss it out.
Just got another unconfirmed report, but from a reliable enough source, that B-52's are landing there at night to refuel. Does anyone know what the possibilities are that this particular type of aircraft are passing this way, have they landed at Shannon? As the professionals might say, more to follow............
the drunk gentleman i was talking with mentioned B-52's - I did not because I did not want to spread the rumor further without confirmation. Not that your rumor is a confirmation of my rumor (!) but it is interesting that it is identical to mine.
let's keep the research going.
k.k.
not in the light of this information it is even more important that we have people at knock airport.one night a week would be enough to start.please get in touch with Tim Hourigan in shannon if u r interested.
I'll be going down to check Knock out this weekend, and talk to some people that I know who live in the area, who will certainly know if B-52's are landing there. I'll post any significant info on this site if I get any, will get in touch with shannon spotters if there is any substance to the rumours.
I live very close to Knock airport, well close enough to hear most of the flights coming and going....Over the last few weeks ive been up at nite till between thre and four a.m each morning and havnt noticed anything...until..... one nite bout two weeks ago, it was a weekend nite between three and four in the morning as i was walking home from the pub i noticed lights in the sky, i mean the white lights with the flashing red lights..i.e plane lights..It was positioned in the same way that many planes would take approaching Knock airport..I thought it was very strange at the time but thought nothing of it..until now of course, i cant believe it never clicked with me... My sources would tell me that a flight at that time in the morning rarely happens, well certainly not a commercial flight anyway... Pete ranks can give me a shout if he so wishes, he knows where to find me i think...anyway i think that this is another piece of evidence supporting all other information...that nite it was a plane im certain of that, what kind of plane? well i think we all know at this stage....
right bucks i know who u r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
referring to da 2 pete's
ya tink ya do man but ya dont... an i mean that.
Neway , fact is fact an i know what i saw..
Alright, so we've got a sighting, although the plane wasn't i.d'd, it does seem very fishy. What we now need is to get someone up there to have a look, and I think I'll be able to do that this weekend, if Pete Muice wants to come on up too, the bit o company would be just grand. As for you bingobong, why do you tell us to hold our tongues, if this is happenin in Knock then its something we have to highlight and try to stop. At this stage we have no concrete evidence except for Muices' sighting, and therefore the next step is to get some photos or at least some more sightings and positive id's on the planes that are landing. And if we do this, I think there is a demo planned for shannon some time in December, so we have to get something organised for knock. At this stage it is really still a rumour, so lets start compiling the book of evidence, eh? The time has come to stand up and be counted brothers of beal atha na muice, thats brothers in a sort of loose non dogmatic anarcho syndicalist way, or no thats just me, its just some of the boize. So anyone in a position to do so, get plane spotting.
well bingobong, sorry bout that, thought you said the game was up, but you didnae, looking forward to seeing you soon, eh.
actually no please don't excuse me, if you're gonna ask me to shut up, please give me a reason as to why I should. Thats all for this stream, if these rumours turn out to be true, then any info will be carried under a new headline.
(Bingabong,you used the term 'bucks' so I assume you're a native too, go on give us a clue)
during particularly misty off peak flying time periods.
So if you´re not able to stop the USAF using an airstrip they covertly designed and paid for, go to Dublin and save the trees.
You know there are local newspapers putside Atha Cliath. Why dont you amateur anti war activists and sherlock Holmes write a letter to the Connaught Telegraph or the Western People raising this issue? are you afraid of being corrected by mere culchies who will never have heard of indymedia no doubt.
