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.

Next time 'calm down' and think before you post !
Sharon.
"As Bertie says that minister Noel Dempsey has been 'standing on his head all summer' trying to resolve the problem in Mayo the Rossport five are still in prison. Standing on his head is probably all he is good for anyway, and besides that is no way to solve problems or dont you know."
Bertie Ahern should know by now that that is not the way to go in order to obtain results . Mr. Ahern should instead instruct Mr. Dempsey to 'climb every tree in North County Dublin ... ' !
Great to see this campaign continuing - it really could be any of us next , if we are 'judged' to have stood in the way of 'big business' .
Sharon .
Obviously the Shell campaign is not DEAD as you elude to in your posting, if it was there would be no need for your posting, now would there . If the welfare of a few families in Mayo dont interest you why do you bother writing at all.
The fact is that there has been little exploration in Irish waters and even if there is anything under there it dosent matter now because it no longer belongs to the Irish people, it has already been given away.

Thank you Sam, a stunning contribution from someone who can't spell eye properly. I'm embarrassed for whatever educational system you flunked through if thats the depth of your contribution to this thread.
After reading your post SH, I am embarassed for you. Calm down, take a few deep breaths, close the eys........now slowly count to 579!
John,
What a pile of crap your contribution truely is. Your masters in FF/PD are taking an absolute hammering and will soon be out of governement.
This campaign is growing in support unlike the government. Public opinion is still heavily supportive of the Rossport 5 only a delusional twit such as yourself believes it isn't, but then again you believe FF/PD are a good govt showing how deluded you are.
Calling the ESRI a left leaning organisation, have you got your head stuffed up your ass. Having been lectured by ESRI economists while in college I can tell you they are far from left-leaning. Next you'll be saying that McDowell is a socialist. Keep your paranoid fantasies to yourself.
The gas can be brought on shore quickly as long as the safety issues are dealt with and the entire deal is renegotiated to give an equitable deal for the Irish people. The ESRI said if the gas supply was interrupted it would result in death, they never said if the corrib project didn't go ahead that death would result, so as everyone can see you are misrepresenting what they said.
Minister Dempsey is a prize ass as is the entire cabinet. The only brilliant thing that Dempsey can do is collect his oversized pay packet. This campaign will continue growing in strength, proponents of this project belong to Shell/govt/Fine Gael. The Public support this campaign and will continue to support this campaign. People understand that Shell will make billions from this. People also understand that FF are a bunch of corrupt cowboys. It is in the National Interest that this project is looked at again and it will be.
Stop deluding yourself, stop embarassing yourself by posting idiotic delusional crap, and pull your head out of your ass.
John - at last - a reasoned and articulate ally!! welcome
Why don't you call off this ludicrous campaign and avoid inevitable humiliation? The fact is you've lost. Public opinion is turning against the Rossport 5. Even the ESRI, a rather left-leaning orgainsation, said today that its imperative for the gas to be brought ashore as quickly as possible. They say failure to do so could result in old people dying in Ireland if gas supplies from eastern Europe are disrupted. Exactly what I said on this site a month ago. Your safety arguments don't stand up. The risk to human life will be much greater if the gas is processed at sea, since this will necessitate thousands of helicopter flights annually . Your economic arguments don't stand up. They were brilliantly dismissed by Minister Dempsey in today's Irish Times. As he pointed out, if the exploration terms are such a giveaway to multi-national oil companies, how come they aren't queuing up to explore Irish waters? You won't face facts. Irish waters are not full of oil and gas. A couple of small discoveries have been made in 30 years of exploration. That's all. During this time oil companies have spent billions exploring Irish waters for virtually no reward. To suggest that the same exploration terms should be imposed as in the North Sea, where one exploration well in three results in a commercial discovery, is ludicrous even by the standards of socialist economics. Your protests are receiving less and less publicity in the media. No one is interested. As summer turns to autumn, your demos will attract fewer and fewer people. This campaign is DEAD. Why don't you simply admit it?
