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.

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.

offsite link 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

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.

USA: illegal immigrants can be 'detained indefinitely'

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday April 25, 2003 17:16author by america, once free Report this post to the editors

US Atty Gen Ashcroft has set out to start the process of more camps for illegal immigrants to be 'detained indefinitely' - is it fascism yet? (i don't throw this word around lightly)

More Illegal Immigrants Can Be Held
Ashcroft's Ruling Cites National Security Issues

By George Lardner Jr.
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, April 25, 2003; Page A06


Broad categories of foreigners who arrive in this country illegally can be detained indefinitely without consideration of their individual circumstances if immigration officials say their release would endanger national security, according to a ruling by Attorney General John D. Ashcroft.

Ashcroft released the far-reaching decision yesterday in denying bond to an 18-year-old Haitian, David Joseph, who scrambled ashore at Key Biscayne, Fla., on Oct. 29 with more than 200 other refugees. Immigration judges had approved the release of about 100 of them.

The order means that groups of asylum seekers and other aliens -- in this instance Haitians -- can be locked up without hearings and without recourse to release on bond. Ashcroft rejected claims that denying them bail on broad national security grounds would violate their due process rights. He said it was not clear they had any such rights.

Until now, the government has jailed individuals or groups seeking asylum for long periods, but has not asserted the right to indefinitely detain whole classes of illegal immigrants as security risks.

oh, it just gets worse.....

Relax. I know change is scary and people don't like it but these people know what they're doing. Just relax, stop worrying, you'll ruin your health.

It is great that you've not actually cut-and-pasted the entire article. However you didn't take the time to write a summary about why you think readers of indymedia.ie should be interested in this piece. Reproducing articles from mainstream news sources with none of your own commentary, context etc turns indymedia.ie into a free publicity annex of mainstream news. This is contrary to the ethos of indymedia which is supposed to be about YOU shaping the news.

Please, don't just use indymedia.ie in this way. If it's interesting enough then write a summary and provide the link. If you can't be bothered to do that then don't force the original and irish-specific material down the newswire.

People here speak as if the GOP had just sprung from nowhere in the last few years and taken over the country. Abe Lincoln was a Republican. The GOP has a fine democratic tradition. The constant use of therms like fascism is an attmept to make mud stick. A brainwashing technique.

YAWN!! the USA has been running a proper immigration control system since the last 150 years.So they have tightend up abit more.Pity they wouldnt go back to the old system where these catogories of people were automatically deported. Anarchists,drug users,communists,prostitutes,and carriers of infectious diseases.[Do check out Ellis island somtime].If the USA had IRELANDS system in place where anyone can show up ,claim persecution in their own land,[of what?],and get free handouts of food,[and bitch&moan about that,as happened in the Knocklisheen camp in Limerick]accomadation,and clothing.Stroll about the place with no paperwork and apply for a job,a car,and insurance[YOU DO require apermenant address for those things].IT would have ceased to exist about a hundred years ago.
Dont mistrue this post as racist[no doubt some will].But this is a FACT of Irish life these days.
HOW are supposed poor[IE no money] documentless[IE no passport,drivers lic,Soc sec,etc] refugees living on Irish state handouts[poor that they are] buying,taxing&insureing cars??Even clapped out 90 regs? This is somthing that does not happen in the US if you wash up on its beaches.And proper order too! Get your paperwork in order and you can live and work over there no problem.And dont blather on about the illegal Irish over there.They have already got a nickname with the US Immigration."Narrowback"The US was smart enough to set up the checkpoint in Shannon to prevent the embarrasment of Irish people being dumped of the planes in orange jumpsuits and manacles.

Thanks to the most crudely partisan decision in the history of the Supreme Court, the nation has been given a President of painfully limited wisdom and compassion and lacking any sense of the nation's true greatness. Appearing to enjoy his role as Commander in Chief of the armed forces above all other functions of his office, and unchecked by a seemingly timid Congress, a compliant Supreme Court, a largely subservient press and a corrupt corporate plutocracy, George
W. Bush has set the nation on a course for one-man rule.

That is correct-they are not US citizens. If one entered Ireland illegally, would they get all kinds of public assistance from the government?
