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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
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.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

They are letting no one down, they truly are the vanguard of the Anti War CampaignS.
I did a search of Fox News website and there is nothing on last nights action. The last time Shannon is mentioned is Jan 18th. Amanda, how do you know it was "criminal ". And why are you going on about Brendan O'Connor's "truth" ? Basically why is everyone getting so hot about him anyway ? He is employed to be controversial and wind people up just as Jonathon Philbin Bowman was. Just ignore him, or be calm for gods sake.
Same O'Conner who felt 18 yr old hippies from Reclaim the Streets got what they deserved from Gardai on May 6th last year?
Don't forget also that Mary Kelly "Peace Activist" has connections with murderous CIRA scumbags.
Scumbags? That's a bit strong. OK, not everyone agrees that direct action of this sort is the best way forward. But I think people need to get a grip of themselves.
We seem to be reaching a paradoxical situation where some people on the anti-war side are almost as incensed by the miniscule damage to US planes as they are by what the US has planned for Iraq.
Calling those who participated in today's activities "Scumbags" is just ridiculous.
Any damage caused can be repaired quickly - the consequences of this war are going to be so horrendous that in its aftermath the current quibbles about the correctness, or not, of this form of direct action will, I'm sure, seem almost obscene in their narrow-mindedness.
The plane damaged today will be flying in a few weeks time. There are possibly tens of thousands of Iraqis alive today who, in all likelihood, will be dead within the same space of time.
Just bear that in mind if you're going to use extreme perjorative terms to describe actions such as this mornings.
But we know that the connection simply involved a group in NYC deciding to give her an award which she did not canvas for and did not turn up to collect in person. You wouldn't be one of Willie's Doktors would you or a Mate of Ole BOC?
and it paints a really bad picture of America.
First off, I live in the states and can tell you that Fox News is pure crap. Anit-war activists in Ireland don't need to spend any time worrying about what they think.
Second, why should anyone be concerned about an action being legal or illegal? (Or how you might look to someone else - this isn't a fashion show after all.) It's about what is right and what is required to stand up to injustice. If the government were to make it "illegal" to publish a newspaper or web page would you just go along with that or would you fight back and break the law?
Lastly, I just wanted to say that there are many millions of people in the states that don't support this coming war in Iraq and our government's self-interested foreign policy. We stand in solidarity with peace activists in Ireland and all over the world.
Well at least the lady in shannon has more courage than the nutty groups such as the sp/swp who talk a lot but thats all.
Its the gombeen men such as bulldog Cowan and forgetful bertie who are letting us down as a once proud and neutral nation.
Amanda: First Dubsky, then Kelly, the question is who or what next?
Hundreds through the fence hopefully !
I don't know if you remember the last gulf war Amanda - but the only protests were a couple of tiny marches through Dublin - ia that a successful anti war movement ???
This time EVERYONE in the world knows whats going on in Shannon - everyone is debating it - thousands will march on Febrauary 14th - this is not a damaged anti war movement it is
a very healthy one - the direct action has contributed hugely !!
saw Fox News .......

HE HE EXCELLENT !!!!
Are the American tourist board not really worried that massacring thousands of Iraqis' might give them a very bad image as a tourist destination !
