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.

About 150 walked out of Trinity College and gathered at the front gate. I met colleagues from catering, secretarial, computer and teaching staff. And a very good attendance from the Sociology Department.
The SIPTU Section Committee gave its support. Not too bad a turnout as there is no teaching this week, which means few students on campus and some staff ('term workers') also away at present.
We were at the opposite end of college from you then. You know, you could have sent an email around...
There was a mass walkout here in Letterkenny today at 1 o'clock.Some of the protestors went to the canteen and drank tea,others went to the smoking area outside,while some went down to the local shop and bought pre-made sandwiches.As this happens at 1 oclock everyday, I wouldn't say it should merit too much media attention.
Workers all stopped for the allocated time as planned, and the owner, Deirdre came in specially to be present...
I was working in Gardiner St this morning and a few from the place I was working in went down to the garden of remembrance - about 10 of us. Ont the steps of a few hotels and Parnell College, there were about another 50 people visible. Not terribly impressive but we made our point. RALLY AROUND FOR 6PM!!
There were at least 150-200 people assembled at the 1916 monument in the center of the village for 40 minutes. It consisted mainly of students from the University but many locals also took part. There were some speakers and a minutes silence
Its time for the leadership of Sinn Fein (Gerry Adams)& the Green Party (Sargent) to go on TV and tell people its now or never - diect action now

About 15-20 students and teachers left the college and stood outside for the 10 minutes. Sadly, none of them were Americans. Also one lone protestor with an anti-war banner outside an office building opposite Dwyers'. I though for a minute he might be from the FF offices, but alas no.
Only 3 people walked out of Bayers in Swords (and came back in after 2 mins). Nodoby from AHS systems and nobody from Organnon. Somebody said a man at Woddies blew his horn for a minute in the car park at the same time, nobody knows if he was actually protesting or not.
Dont know about any other places in the area, thats all I could establish.
Eight members of staff came out of the school in CBC Monkstown
plus there was one minute of silence and 10 minute discussion of war in all classes
maybe other people could send in reports - would be interesting to see how it went

About 300 people- students , catering staff academics and office workers assembled in St pat's quadrangle at 12 o'clock today to protest against the war. The college library and resource centre closed for ten minutes.One minutes silence was observed and white peace ribbons distributed.
There was a walkout, me by myself. May not have been many there but xerocracy is in serious operation here flyers and poster are in production for Limerick.
Glad to hear that there were many more in other places!
Good turnout in DCU, organised by the Anti-War group in the college. About 700-800 staff and students stayed out for about 20 minutes. Loads of people took white ribbons. A few speeches made and then a marchette out to the Collins Avenue gate.
A great showing in UL (approx 2-300) for the stoppage-well done all! Eoin O' Broin and Katherine Harford spoke eloquently and briefly as to the reasons we were there. A minutes silence was held but interrupted-3 or 4 hecklers pointed out that the war will be over in 4 weeks, Iraq will be free and we'll all be sorry we didn't listen then. This was disregarded. A colourful placard saying "USA Let's Roll" was also met with spectacular disinterest. A petition was signed by many and lots of donations for UNICEF were collected. Hope everyone takes to the streets at 6 in limerick today at Penneys.
That hissing sound you hear is the Anti War movement deflating. Hey you had fun while it lasted and felt very good about yourself. Now get back to work.
HUGE ANTI-WAR RALLY IN UL

Over 1,000 attend anti-war rally in UL

At least 1,500 attend rally in Crossmolina
The rally held in UL was the biggest the university has ever experienced. those that came out in support numbered well over 1000 and consisted of staff and students. The efforts were further supported by all the businesses on campus who agreed to stop serving for the ten minuites. Over €400 were collected for UNICEF and hundreds queued to sign the petition. UL Against the War also encouraged people to take part in the vigil and march in limerick over the next couple of days, and are already planning our next campus action. Pictures up soon
The vast majority of Sallynoggin College of Further Education came out today for the stoppage against the war. The response was overwhelming and typical of the anti-war sentiment against outrageous action that is the war in Iraq.
About one hundred of us walked out of art college in Galway. We went down to a roundabout nearby and walked around the island for about twenty minutes, drumming and shouting.
Hey art college (!??! another new discovery in Galway..) person get in touch terry@fuck-the-system.com .....Several Hundred staf and students walked out in NUIG/UCG at 12 and at 2 about one hundred walked out again, went to Fianna Fail office, wandered around it, meet up with 60 GMIT students, went down to copshop and (with Tim Hourigan's detailed statement thingy) made a criminal complaint against Bertie Ahern (about ten people did this).
We had cool drummers also (maybe that was ye??)
We had a walkout of just under a 100 people. I had a megaphone and that made the whole thing loud and exciting. We got some good chants and we marched around for an hour before 10 of us went into the protest at the Dail.The megaphone really made a difference.If we make these things lively we attract a lot more people.
