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.

The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Is the Era of Cheap Internet Surveys Over? Sat Nov 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

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.

But Bootboy Bobby gets stuck in republicans as usual.
This kind of action is futile. It will achieve absolutely nothing. When radicals get caried away they think violence is justified. There is not much differnece between these attacks and the attacks in Shannon. Both are acts of violence, and both have a distinct lack of public support. As we have seen many times before, peace movements become hijacked by the men and women of violence.
You compare the damaging of a Military Aircraft, which involved no violence even against military personnel)to a bombing which could have killed civilians?
Do you take yourself seriously?
Perhaps Pat you agree with bully tactics and law breaking. So if you don't like me that gives you the right to break my windows???
Four incidents of vandalism at Shannon means the Irish taxpayer has to pay 1.5 million Euro for the damamges. We are now also faced with a massive bill for Army and Garda overtime at Shannon (thanks to Dubsky et al) money which will without doubt have to be taken from health & education budgets and mabey even our State contribution to Third World projects. Thats some achievement Pat, isn't it?
So it was only a plane (unarmed) damaged at Shannon. Ah well, sure it will only be a Mc Donalds shop smashed up next time. Or mabey some American factories in irleand being stormed and defaced with anti-war slogans. Sure its all so peaceful Pat. Get a grip on yourself man. Go back to your Sinn Fein buddies.
James, I think I can safely say that most people don't like violence either, but the
way you link bomb attacks in the North and damage to a warplane is just plain absurd.
I would have thought the purpose of the bomb is to cause death and injury, while the
purpose of the action in Shannon was to reduce death and injury.???
Anyway, passing over that and getting to your main point, you say violence is futile.
If that's the case, then is war futile in your opinion?
How is an attack on a RUC barracks sectarian??
you each give 5€ a year.
lots eh? thank you very much say the 3rd world.
5€ is a lot of money in western Africa.
Where the Irish state has invested over 100million€ in a big fishing boat.
yes the Irish state has invested more in exploitation of the 3rd worlds resources then it gives in aid. I know as a kid i used cog my homework off the talentless type that as much inherited the brief of deciding "Irish governmental bilateral aid" to the 3rd world. The great republic and its great "civil servants", not a cent is given without profit.
"Perhaps Pat you agree with bully tactics and law breaking. So if you don't like me that gives you the right to break my windows??? "
Have you ever heard of logic & reasoned argument? What do your windows have to do with opposing the US War effort?
"Four incidents of vandalism at Shannon means the Irish taxpayer has to pay 1.5 million Euro for the damamges. "
Vandalism in your opinion not mine. I believe it shouldnt be paid. In any case Aer Riante have insurance to cover such events.
"We are now also faced with a massive bill for Army and Garda overtime at Shannon (thanks to Dubsky et al) money which will without doubt have to be taken from health & education budgets and mabey even our State contribution to Third World projects. Thats some achievement Pat, isn't it?"
So why dont you oppose this deployment of the Army & Garda? I'm against such diversion of resources.
"So it was only a plane (unarmed) damaged at Shannon."
Not just a plane; it was a US Military Jet which was transporting supplies. If the resulting dislocation of the US War effort results in evemn one less Iraqi death, then its worth it.
"Ah well, sure it will only be a Mc Donalds shop smashed up next time."
Again the lack of logic. You are the person raising the spectre of attacks on MacDonalds. No one in any of the Anti War groups suggests such a thing.
" Or mabey some American factories in irleand being stormed and defaced with anti-war slogans."
Again, no one in the Anti war groups have suggested a general painting of slogans on US owned businesses. You seem to have such action on your mind.
Perhaps you are Anti American?
However how could any peace loving person be upset if (US or Irish owned) computer & armanent firms which directly supply the US Military were spraypainted with anti war slogans?
" Sure its all so peaceful Pat."
what I am proposing is.
"Get a grip on yourself man. Go back to your Sinn Fein buddies."
where is the reasoned argument? Whether or not I have buddies in SF is hardly relevant.
if your house were to soon be responsible for killing loads of people (or transporting loads of people to kill other people) you can bet your sweet ass that i would break your fucking windows.
make love, not war.
If the Americans were to withold international law then such cost to our taxpayers would not be incurred . . .
If the Irish Authorities were to have any respect for their own people and dignity to enforce our own law the such cost would not be incurred . . .
The taxpayers money is now spent stopping the taxpayers themselves from doing what the taxcollecters should be demanding of their employees . . . by law.
i think you might mean "uphold", not "withhold".
As far as i understand Aer Rianta recovers its costs not from the US state dept, USAF or US navy but from the Irish Government. Thats you and me buddy!
. . . thanks for the correction (minor error!!!)
I never voted for my taxes to be diverted into paying to protect an airport in my country to be used by foreigners, to wage on other foreigners. Why should Irish taxpayers have to foot the bill, to protect a foreign military presence using our airports. Why can't the americans buy this airport off us, protect it themselves and stop being such cheapstake miserly sponging freeloaders.
