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.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

Eating dogs rather than the treatment of them seems to be the main isssue, would you really want to destroy an intergral part of another culture's culinary traditions?
Yates - please read the summary of the demonstration once again. The way the Korean's are eating dogs and cats is not acceptable - FYI - the dog is skinned alive and then roasted slowly; this is thought to improve the taste of the meat. Cats are boiled alive until they are liquidated into cat "juice". So Yates -do you call this culture? ARAN protests for the rights of ALL animals not just dogs and cats. What the Koreans are doing to their animals is NOT culture - it is cruelty at the highest stakes. Please do not support this and check your facts next time you want to make a statement about other cultures "culinary traditions".
Lobsters are boiled alive too ? Do they have rights as well or are crustaceans being discriminated against ?
And so are crabs. Anyone up for a demo outside "Celebrity Fishmonger" Cavistons in Glasthule?
Theres probably some "claws" against this in their constitution . Celebrity fishmongers probably arent a legitimate target . The wrong time and Plaice for a demo .
I believe the previous poster has hijacked my genuine concern for the plight of lobsters and is only acting the cod . His post is a red herring .
Sorry. it warmed the cockles of my heart, so i was trying to stay in tuna with the general thrust of your argument, and not skate on thin ice. I'll scale it down.
FIN.
your apology sounds fishy to me . I still reckon you were being shellfish .
That stuff about Koreans eating cats and dogs . If this is true are there any Korean restaraunts in Dublin ? And does anyone know wht the hell the menu means in English , or even as gaeilge
You're really floundering. Stop carping one about it. You don't have the sole right to the issue.
Ive been defeated in the pun contest . The use of obscure brands of fish has done for me .
but it was squid pro quo.
Siobhan we all agree with you. Sometimes people will come on these internet sites and just try stur up stupid silly ridiculous arguments. We are as ARAN volunteers focussed....Moving on to the real fight for animal liberation and heck are we doing a good job at it!
pah , interfering westerners . Do we complain , during theyear of the pig when you eat bacon sandwiches ? you round eyed barbarians !!
The noble cow is sacred to millions yet you slap it between a stale bun and go yum yum , we are the burger kings !!
If god didnt want us to eat dogs he would not have made them so tasty in the first place .
It all sounds like a species argument to me.
I think the animal rights crowd are barking up the wrong tree on this one . Derek R , despite his optimism doesnt seem to be any closer to persuading millions of koreans to stop eating their household pets . Or us to stop munching cows pigs and chickens and little baby lambs , which taste absolutely gorgeous with new potatos .
mmmmmmm
bitchin' story, but not enough puns about dogs...
now, if it were dogfish....
these puns are of a poor pedigree indeed .
...in the open air .
Not enough room to swing a cat in a korean kitchen , apparently .
I am a strict vege, have been all my life, I don't have a problem with people eating meat as long as they feel they could kill it themselves instead of needing it neatly packaged. On the score of dogs, I think the difference between that and a calf is that most animals that are consumed are mostly vegitarian, if it eats flesh, don't eat it!!
