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.

Jump To Comment: 6 5 4 3 2 1The SwP are organising the bus from Cork. There is no IAWM here. Pat O'Sullivan is an SWP member.
Most people going from here will make there own way to Shannon on 24th though there is a lot of cynicism about it being nothing more than an SWP event. I don't think that bus will actually go as nobody is supporting it. The SWP only have about 4 members.

Organized by Cosantoiri Siochana / Peace Network
Antiwar groups in the US such as the ANSWER Coalition and United for
Peace and Justice are organizing a number of activities against the Iraq
war on the weekend from September 24th to the 26th. The planned events
range from lobbying politicians, concerts and marches to civil
disobedience. Other groups around the world are also demonstrating
against war on that day. In Ireland, the IAWM, PANA and the NGO Peace
Alliance have decided to hold a demonstration at Shannon on the day.
The focus of Irish libertarians and others in the anti-war movement has
always been on Shannon - the location where Ireland is directly involved
in and participating in the "war on terror". However there hasn't been
any activity at Shannon since George Bush's visit some 15
months ago.
A number of anti-war activists have decided to try to organize to travel
to Shannon on the same day as we feel it is important to continue to
keep at least some measure of pressure on the state and to highlight
that this is not a "dead" issue.
To this end, we are trying to organize a bus from Dublin to Shannon. The
bus will be go ahead only if enough definite commitments are made by
people. With 40 people traveling down, the cost per person will be €15.
If 50 people come down, then the cost will drop to €12 per person.
However if 40 tickets have not been sold by Wednesday 21st, then the bus
will be canceled and all ticket-holders will be refunded.
Unfortunately, there are no funds available to subsidize the cost of
empty seats on the bus (and it would be unfair to ask people to pay more
than 15 euro). Your name, email address and/or phone number will be required
when you buy your ticket so that you can be notified of any changes or
refunded - if applicable.
The bus departs from Liberty Hall at 9.30am
Fare E15 Return
No seats can be guaranteed without a ticket.
Tickets will be available from 5pm Wednesday 14th at:
Red Ink Books, 4 Upper Fownes St., Dublin 2 (next to the Central Bank
Plaza)
Connelly Books, 7 Bloom Lane, Lower Ormond Qy, Dublin 1 (next to
Millennium Bridge)
It would be a help if you could confirm that you are traveling by
texting, phoning or emailing Laurence 0851544021
Could Pat Sullivan confrim what of those numbers posted are NOT of an SWP member???
Just curious, as I genuinely wonder if the IAWM is or is not now merely a rump of SWP members, far removed from the broad based campaign it once was??
On September 24th, tens of thousands will take
Part in protests in Washington and San Francisco. In Ireland, a peace rally and festival in
Shannon will take place to coincide with these protests. We will be stretching out across the
Atlantic to join our American brothers and sisters in saying: NO to WAR.
There will be a bus Leaving From your Area.
Book your Place on the busses going to Shannon.

Help us build this Event Take posters and leaflets, put them up in your work place, Local
Shopping area School or college.
MOST OF ALL DONT FORGET TO BOOK YOUR PLACE ON THE BUSSES TO SHANNON
