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.

If anything we should hold white flags to show the support of peace in our world. I believe to make changes towards peace we must give of ourselves. We must help other people who have less and need our help. I would ask keep St. Paddy’s day, a day of celebration, happiness and joy. Positive energy and being kind can help with many troubles.
I think you all are a bunch of wankers.... protest all you want... you will only look like fools... The US is going to war!
...i'm an idiot
same boat right here...black every day of the week, but i'm wearing a white piece of cloth around my left arm as a sign of protest until this war is over..
and apparently i'm acting as a steward for important people at the parade on paddys day,
so i might voice some opinions to our good pal bertie
wish me luck...(luck in actually getting near anyone important as a last minute volunteer)
I'm Irish and I wear black all the time as it is...war paddy's day or not. guess I'll have to wear white or red or something.
ANybody in the same boat?
cheers
i may subscribe to your publication...
I don't want to trivialise what is obviously a very grave issue but would it not be an idea to Reclaim Paddy's Day? I can't help smiling at the mental image of an enormous mock-plane being hammered by those great big inflatable tri-colour hammers, the ones with "You'll never beat the Irish" emblazoned on them, all the way down O'Connell Street.
i'm interested in doing tshirts or placards with "1845 - there was no famine, only sanctions" on them, i think irish people mustn't be allowed to have so short a memory.
Amanda,
perhaps you should stick to having fun and let mammy and daddy worry about how to organise protests ... no run along and be a good girl!
but unfortunately I've decided to give up protesting for Lent.
And I think the scam about Paddy's day not counting is a bit of a cop out.
On the other hand, if I did go protesting I might be interviewed in the crowd by Cliona Ni Buachalla, or another one of those generic RTE, able-to-speak-Irish types, who seem to go in for that sort of thing.
Oh decisions, decisions!
I suggest that we keep Paddys Day marches free of politics - its a family day after all. Have you march/protest by all means, but don't hijack the traditional fun parades. PSF supporters did it in our area a few years ago and most people were sickened by it.
Maybe that way we'll have something to _celebrate_ on Paddy's Day and we'll have shown the world that the Irish and Ireland aren't just a commodity to be trivialised one day a year.
That is a brillant idea. Maybe if this idea could also spread to the USA particularly NY.
Let the Paddy's Day marches throughout the World become AntiWar marches.
