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 8as I pointed out the other day, globally there have now been more arrests and detentions for protesting against this War than in the first year of the Vietnam war.
That to me spells offences of a "political" nature.
It is important that courts, lawyers and all those involved in these cases be aware that they are "political".
If it is possible to co-ordinate such activity it may help. Though it really should be a matter for the defendant in question.
(My last occasion of arrest was not really politically motivated, I was just being a bollox).
:-)
and Joe Higgins in Shannon; the SP will probably be giving evidence for the prosecution.
I wonder if 'Brian Cahill' will reply to this in his real name?
Pack the courthouse. It does have an effect.
Who was on trial last week and what was the outcome? I thought people only had a pre-trial hearing, a formality.
Someone suggested making sure that the court knew the offences were of a political nature. You have to be careful on this front as political offences against the state are traditionally tried in the Special Criminal Courts. What is special about these courts is that they sit without a Jury and the great lady Justice is left in the hands of three Judges rather than the Jury of 12.
Where the D.P.P. issues a certificate stating that in his opinion, the ordinary courts are inadequate to secure the administration of justice and the preservation of public peace and order the case must be transferred from the ordinary court to the Special Criminal Court. A lot of responsibility in his hands then so.
I'm not saying not to pack to court and protest, protest protest but know what may happen. I do not know much about the 24 currently awaiting trial. I presume they have legal representation but if they do not they should know they are entitled to same and depending on their income under the Free Legal Aid Scheme. Although they may prefer to defend themselves. With regard the person who is in Jail pending trial Bail applications can be made to High Court on a Weekly(?) Basis and the person is entitled to be there and entitled to Legal Representation. Then again he or she may wish to remain in Jail as part of the protest against the war but no harm to know your rights.
There were, I think, about 8 people on trial for Shannon related incidents last Thursday in Shannon district court. Their cases were adjourned to Tulla district court on April 30th and as far as I recall they will all be pleading not guilty. Somebody correct me if I am wrong!
Steven good point, but I thought that political offences normally tried at Greene Street are designated as serious criminal offences and are thus dealt with by the Serious Crime squad.
Political crime is not a category in Ireland and the removal of that category led to the hungerstrikes no?
Most of those commiting politically motivated offences against this War arew being tried in District courts. thus have no jury.
Jury only applies in the Irish Republic in the circuit or higher courts, at which stage sentancing becomes heavier as well.
I did not seek to suggest we see political crimes reinstated as a category, but rather to remember that they are politically motivated.
& It is long past the time when Ireland discuss the ins and outs of that one.
for the moment Shelta is right.
packing court houses does have a wonderful affect.
being before a district justice on a friday night with only a Garda as witness and the Bridewell beckonging for weekend remand is not desirable in anyone's books.
"I thought people only had a pre-trial hearing, a formality."
Aye Eoin this would be accurate, my command of the English language collapses went it comes to legal shite....the yoke this week appears to be a bonafide trial though.
