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.

NO, just an appropriate reply to people who are doing their best to sow dissension in the Keep Kinsale Head Open Campaign.
'Tedious trots'? Yes, you are just cynical. Is this your answer to all disagreement?
i suspect the whole thing is a shit stirring anti-wsm exercise. probably started up by tedious trots.
but then i'm just a cynic.
Clarity its a great pity that at the start you could not have clarified what you were on about. But as to the chest beating about 'peaceful protest' what are you on about. Is there a suggestion that it should be non-peaceful. Or is this whole discussion really about something else alltogether.
Perhaps if you actually identified yourself things would become a little clearer? Or would this reveal a little bit too much about what this has all been really about.
Another issue is that the WSM has no right to call this a 'mass tresspass' when nobody (least of all the organizers) has decided that it should be such.
The point is that this gig will be different from previous ones because of the supreme court judgement. To advertise it as a mass trespass (when none has been organised by anyone!) gives the club and the cops a great excuse for coming down heavy and acting the shithead. And Andrew don't try preaching to someone whose been at all the protests on the Old Head. Don't know where you get your info from but it aint accurate. Again, lay off the mythmaking - this is a straightforward protest that has been successful because of the numbers that turn up and force the club to back down. Its a PEACEFUL protest, ALWAYS HAS BEEN, and will remain so.
The supreme court of ireland decided this would be a mass trespass when they ruled that walking and golfing were incompatible. that's all right though, we haven't run out of tactics. hope to see ye all there.
This is a weird semantic argument, if the purpose of it is to protect people from prosecution then it might be helpful to at least hint at this. Right now you seem to be raving at the use of what I thought was an accurate term.
I took part in one mass tresspass in Kinsale, see http://struggle.ws/wsm/news/2002/kinsaleMARCH.html
On this one as I understand also happened at other times once a certain number of people had scaled the fence the owner THEN allowed the gate to be opened to allow everyone else there to walk in. I guess this is probably for insurance reasons?
But what's with the fuss? Its all a little weird but I presume there is some logiv behind it. Care to explain?
There have never been mass trespasses at the Old Head. The routine was set a long time back - a crowd of protesters would gather at the fence and after a bit the gates (or side-gate that is) would oppen to allow people to walk in and down to lighthouse. All allowed by golf club owners who did fear a mass trespass (that they couldn't control) taking place. Some people did go over the fence on occasion (and, famously, there was a seaward landing once) but no mass trespass took place. Force of numbers caused the club to back down each time and facilitate access. Regarding James McB - he was up for something he didn't do or have you muppets forgotten that. Get real and stop exaggerating and making false claims!! We have enough mythmaking in this country.
Have turned into mass trespasses, its reasonable to assume this one will also. The Cork members of WSM have always been in the forefront of these protests. As has been proved by James McBs conviction.
What have Sean and 'someone' done about KInsale Head?
For the record: this protest is being organized by the Free the Old Head Campaign/CPA and not the WSM. Will their two Cork members even be there? Maybe they (WSM duo) are organizing a trespass separete from the main demo.
Answer my question, please.
Who decided this protest would be a mass trespass?
Won't make it myself, but best of luck to all who go down. Look forward to reading the report about it on Monday.
Maybe the next time give a bit more notice so people can plan around it.
