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.

The Unusual Suspects
if Enda was not re-elected.
I saw the five on Pat Kenny's show on Friday night and was delighted at the way they stood up for the Cloverhill remand prisoners. Kenny was trying to pitch the show along the lines of " here were five good men locked up with a bunch of savages ".
He used the expression "ne'er do wells " instead of savages ,but the meaning -reinforced with a smirk/ sneer - was clear. One of the five pulled him up on it - put that sleeveen kenny right in his place.
Fair play to you lads.
Hurray!!! The men are out and back with their families and communities. Enda Kenny still doesn't know what he is at and has been a disgrace. As far as I know, he wasn't invited but his party collegue Michael Ring, who is a supporter of Shell to Sea, was. Michael Ring has not been touting the party line - which seems to be keep talking and no one will know that we are doing nothing - so Enda thought he could send someone else in his place... he was sadly mistaken.
How dare Durkin stand up there and try and say that it was Endas initiatives that had led to the release of the 5? How dare Durkin use the names of Enda Kenny and Michael Ring in the same sentence as if they had worked together in this? We will NOT forget this Enda. For once, I am looking forward to the election door to door campaign. The kettle will be constantly on the boil.
Saturday was a huge day of celebration with people from all walks to life out to show their support. The photos are great!
This seems to be an anti FG outfit- where are the criticisms of Fianna Fail, what about John Carty,and Bev.Copper Flynn (both elected as FF TDs) Sinn Fein have now taken this over from poor Dr. Cowley, I hope they will not kill me for this
Thug an tuasal Eanna O Cionnaith TD tachaioct mor duinn, go calma agus go macanta. Thug se Comhairle do Shell ordu na cuirte a chuir ar cheall, and rinne siad sin. Ta na Fir scaoilte da bhri sin.Ta a lan daoine cosuil le SF agus Gerry Adams agus an Dochtuir O Caoimlidh ag leim ar ar ndruim anois, ach ni rinne siad tada
What about all the money peoppe in Eriis are losing. Is's ok for teachers like Shine (and wife) and Maura Harrington,and McGrath. Shine is a trouble maker. When the emigrant boat returns, they wont be on it.
Don't make claims that enda kenny is indifferent to human suffering as far as i know he is constantly raising money for charities and does alot of work for suicide prevention which is more than Bertie Aherne does who drinks points of bass in his home town for his spare time .After all a party member showed up on his behalf. And for god's sake will you fools in the west of ireland realise that extracting the natural gas is very important for this country and stop whinning about what can only be described as progression. And also sinn fein are incredibly opportunistic and try to exploit every populist situation to it's fullest. you should open your eyes and be wary of that fact.
You should be proud to have a potential taoiseach like him in your county especially one who is so genuine, unpretentious and never shys away from speaking his mind.
What crap you talk. Enda Kenny is an absolute disgrace and he is an embarassment to Irish people everywhere. When Enda speaks and what he says is entirely dependent on what he thinks will win him votes, that is hardly speaking your mind. Fine Gael are a farce anyway. Don't expect Enda Kenny to be taoiseach expect Bertie again this time with Labour cosying up to them.
Does anyone know if Mary Harney is still being a "thorn in the side of the government" as she promised she would be if she was elected prior to the last election?
The Rossport campaign was turned into an anti FG protest which was a shame. having followed the news closely at the time it was clear that FG handled the situation v well.Kenny acted as a statesman throughout, using parliament efficiently to improve the men's plight. Sure he wasn't out like others claiming undue credit to shore up support.
Fair play Enda you showed yourself to be the national leader Ireland needs so badly.
