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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11The trade union movement organised some very big protest marches against sectarianism and violence in the North.
In any case, I'm not sure that "the same thing" was happening in the North... unless you are suggesting that some of the combatants in the North were using cruise missiles, the "shock and awe" bombing of civilian populations and all the rest.
i wasn't born.
or..equally where were you in opposing colonialism on this Island.
But good to see that you haven't forgotten the deaths of the many Irish patriots murdered by the same soldiers now busy slaughtering in Iraq. Namely the Royal Irish Regiment (UDR), Parachute Regiment.
Anybody been watching Fox news and in particular that clown O'Reilly? What an obnoxious program. They had a feature last night entitled 'Abusing their freedom' about anti-war demostrators and what should be done about the fact that they are...yes you guessed it... abusing their freedom by protesting the war.
Very unpleasant viewing compounded by the show being the most popular news show in US.
...but that was at least 10 or 20+ years ago depending on how
far back you go. So if you take anyone now 30 years or less years
of age, that would mean they were 20 or 10 years old or younger
again depending how far back you go. Therefore the comment really
only applies to those 30+ or older.
The second point is that the Internet is certainly helping get stuff
out now and allows the 'official' media to be bypassed to a certain
extent. Back then of course we didn't have this, nor mobiles for that
matter.
But it is true, that people weren't totally ignorant and were aware to
some degree. And yes there were some peace marches, if I remember rightly
there were very big peace marches in the North organised by that woman
who got the Noble Peace prize -can't remember her name. There were some
marches down here. Again I would agree not enough. Perhaps somebody
older who remembers events clearly could shed more light on things.
As regards the current anti-war marches, I would say all the marches
around the world have reinforced each other to some degree. Also I think
what people recognise is that the world's only SuperPower is now going
for broke and total domination and they actually see it as a real threat
to their own lives.
So yeah, it's a fair question, but should we let the illegal Bush cabal run
amok? Should the IRA or Loyalists have been allowed terrorize their opposite
populations? Of course not. But the sectarian card was very effectively played
to the consitutents and in a certain sense perhaps people figured, it was a
pretty intractable problem, considering the conflict was simmering within the
communities, whereas the USA vs Iraq is more clearcut and not at that level.
Anyone else?
and the British Army and state in north played what role???... Peacekeepers!!!!!!!
It has always baffled me how people who can see through the spin and rubbish that comes out of blair/bush/ahern/reagen/thatcher/fitzgerald etc etc with regards to Iraq/Nicaragua/Timor (et al) can be so consumed accepting the establishment line on the Irish problem.
What is it, that problems far away become easier to see and understand?
There were massive protests in Ireland all through the 1970's and 80's about the situation in the North. On one occasion the British Embassy was burned down.
Maybe I’m hallucinating in my old age but I remember marches in Dublin against the IRA. I also remember protests at the British Embassy against State violence. And it wasn’t all that long ago.
You’re like the people who that animal rights activists don’t care about human rights or that anti-abortion campaigners don’t care about born children. No evidence, no logic, it’s just verbal abuse really.
This kind of whataboutery is just nonsense. It’s also not news which is the purpose of a NEWSwire.
They burnt down the Embassy in 1972 after Bloody Sunday ... the beastly cads .....

Were you not born last year when the schoolchildren were abused while travelling to and from school? Were you not born for the last ten years when the punishment beatings and harassment was happening in our own country? Perhaps you weren't and if not, fair play to you for learning computer skills at such an early age.
I do care about human rights and I do care about children. I also believe that charity begins at home and before people try and sort out other peoples issues they should look at their own country!! I would be more impressed if certain individuals worked with the homeless or the Limerick Rape Crisis centre than spending their time quietly addressing crowds of students that at the end of the day will make very little difference!
Anglo-America out of Iraq! Anglo-America out of Ireland. Anti-imperialism begins at home.
Where were you when one third of the population of East Timor were murdered with the support of Washington and London, where were you during the last decade when a MILLION IRAQI people died?
Where were you?????
