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 9Anarchists are at least a large minority of the protestors!
Oh not not more Anarchists;-) I think we should all issue a counter press release stating many of the idiots making unresearched quotes on the use of Shannon are bumbling FF/FG politricksians
yes, a large minority of the protestors at shannon may have been anarchists, but what does the description 'anarchist' mean to a FF county councillor? crazed black-clad bomb carrying good for nothings, and to joe average, about the same. I used to call myself an anarchist, but by doing so I think I may have misrepresented myself due to peoples conception of the word anarchist, to most people the idea of anarchy is apocalyptic, not the sort of syndicalism or communism most anarchists have in mind. So I suppose we need a new name for ourselves eh?
council tony mulcahy,do u not think?do u not that its the use of warplanes that make shanno airport a target for terrorists?
councilor patricia macarthy,what "sides" have used shannon airport in the past? has Afganastan or Iraq used the airport in the past or do u think they will use it in to prepare for war against the U.S. do you?
On Saturday, 16 novembre 2002, protests were carried out all
over Italy following the arrests of over 20 anti-globalization
and union activists in southern Italy on charges of "subversive
association" and similar.
The demo in Rome set off with already well over 5,000 marchers,
to be joined by thousands more along the route which led to the
central square, Piazza Venezia, and on up Via del Corso as far
as the Parliament buildings.
There were banners and flags everywhere, as the "movement"
showed its ability to mobilize, even so shortly after the
long-planned demo in Florence, last week.
The theme of the demo in Rome centred on the magistracy's
attempts (clearly under orders from the policitians) to
criminalize the movement, treating its adherents as
"subversives". As a result, a popular slogan for banners and
ploacards was "we are all subversive!". Clearly many placards
contained calls for the release of the prisoners and in fact the
banner which led the march read " You can't hold the movement.
Free them all!"
Interestingly, the reaction of people not involved in the march
was to get on with their ordinary lives - shops remained open,
people walked along and crossed the streets without fear of the
thousands of "subversives" swarming around them!
By the time the march arrived at Piazza Venezia there were, at a
conservative estimate, approximately 20,000 participants,
probably more. Some estimates go as high as 50,000, but the
figure of 20/25,000 is more credible.
Access to Via del Corso (which leads to the parliament) was
closed off by ranks of police and their vehicles, as the march
was due to finish off in a small square around the corner. This
proved impossible as this square can hold only about 3-4,000.
Meanwhile Piazza Venezia was rapidly filled to bursting point,
but suddenly the police cordon dispersed, leaving Via del Corso
open for the throng. With the police backing off in front of
them, the marchers swept up Via del Corso, to the bemusement of
the Saturday-afternoon shoppers.
When the crowd finally reached the square in front of the
Government Buildings at Palazzo Chigi the cry "We are all
subversives!" rang out.
Not even here, on Via del Corso and surroundings, did the shops
shut up business - it would have been ridiculous - there was no
tension, there were no rioters, the government's attempt to
criminalize us just does not hold water, and people are starting
to realize that now. The devastating hordes ... oh yeah? Where?
Remember, this was all in the name of freedom. And freedom
brings joy, not pain; dancing, not crying; music, not police
sirens; sociability, not division.
I gave up with the word "anarchist". It seems to guarantee irrationality when you use it. I generally say "libertarian socialist", because it reduces the extent of the sort of antics shown above.
Those of you who are interested in couteracting Cllr McMahon's impressive ability to skew language should perhaps write to him or phone him. Be polite, kids.

Address: Ennis Rd., Newmarket on Fergus, Co. Clare
Telephone: 061 – 368193 / 061 - 368683
Political Party: Fianna Fail
I think its some cheek of the cllr to try an push the blame of shannon as being a possible target on to the shoulders of the protesters...If he actually thought about it he would see that its the Irish gov's fault seein that they have the audacity to let planes land at shannon(an possibly others)without the consent of the public...Im not an anarchist jus someone who doesn't agree with whats goin on, ive put stuff on the net about it, does dat mean its my fault aswell...i think not... feicin politicians!
Silo!!! How irresponsible can you be??
Making Cllr. Pat McMahon's home address on
a website is 'grossly irresponsible and there
is a serious possibility that it will create
danger' to the said servant of the people (sic).
BANG!
