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.

Which ones are definitely going to be done?
Members and supporters and local residents will assemble at 5.00pm on Friday at the Templeville Road Statoil Station all supporters of the campaing living in the vicinity are invited to attend. This station has already been picketed twice this month and support from the public has been very strong
Pat...i was in that station twice when it was "picketed" and I dont recall viewing any support of note for the very small numbers of people who were "picketing" the station. Most people completely ignored it. In fact on the second occasion, the cutomers in the shop took particular mirth at the inneffectiveness of the "picket". But good luck with it I say!
Tom states " I was in that station twice when it was picketed" Note the word in. He therefore is either an employee of Statoil, a member of management, a Garda or a member of the public who choose to cross our picket.
Either way his experience is different than ours. However if he cares about the cause of the Rossport Five and the wider issue concerning the rights of the Irish People to own and benefit from the gas and oil reserves off our coasts he will join on the picket this Friday
The words of the old miners song comes to mind "which side are you on"
Pat - just to clarify....I was, like 99% of the people i encountered, a member of the public who chose to pass the picket.
46% of statistics are made up on the spot Pat,just like your 99% bullshit above.
Cop yourself on,grow some independence and investigate the issues involved thoroughly some time,then you will see why any rational,caring and decent human being wouldnt even think about sharing your ugly and spurious cynicism.
The Spin Doctors working for Statoil are very worried ala Tom. We have them sitting up and taking notice.
Despite the misinformation from Tom ( he just happens to be at the Garage everytime we place a picket) lets make tomorrow's protests successful.
Are there any pickets on Corks statoil stations?
It was Tom I was addressing in my comment,not your good self.
So there you go Tom,log onto www.shellto sea.com for some facts and information,it would probably bedifferent if it was your family's health at risk.
Maybe the you could develop some sort of distrust of profiteers.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me when the Usher's Quay picket or any other picket is starting off at ?
Joe.
Hi
The Ushers Quay picket is at 6pm. As a lot of the people originally involved in organising it are either at the grassroots gathering or gone on holiday, please try to get along if you are in Dublin. Thanks
Hi again
Wrong info in last post - ignore. The picket actually starts at 5:30pm. Please do your best to get there
Anybody got a time for the Cabra Rd protest? Are they all 5.30?
