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.

Ógra Shinn Féin will hold a demilitarisation protest outside Queen’s University Belfast at 1PM on Wednesday 16th November, The theme of the protest will be ‘Stop British Army/ OTC recruitment in our University’
Ógra Shinn Féin to protest outside Queen’s University
Ógra Shinn Féin will hold a demilitarisation protest outside Queen’s University Belfast at 1PM on Wednesday 16th November, The theme of the protest will be ‘Stop British Army/ OTC recruitment in our University’.
Andrea O’ Kane Ógra organiser in Queen’s said “this demilitarisation protest is to show
the opposition and disgust at the British army’s recruitment drive and charm offensive within our campus. The British army are an illegal force of occupation and should not be permitted to cover the university campus with their posters and recruitment
advertisements. A university should be a neutral environment free from offensive literature and poster that only serve to promote an atmosphere of exclusion and segregation. The British army have no right to be in Ireland never mind our universities.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wonder if SP or Organise will turn up? -- Ha, Ha.
The BA's recruitment campaign at Queen's is utterly disgraceful, and Ógra are right to demand that universities not promote such partisan and insenitive politics.
It is a sign of the times in the North that Queen's - its very name once synonymous with sectarianism and intransigence - is now a largely nationalist university, and one in which such relics of imperialism as the BA are becoming unwelcome.
Troops out!!!
Nach bhfuil an Ollscoil sin i dtír shaor? Nach bhfuil cearta ag daoine fáil amach i dtaobh deiseanna fostaíochta in arm na Breataine?
Tír shaor? Ná bí ag magadh. Níl na sé contaetha saor go fóill.
yeah tá sé ag pleidhciocht anois darragh.
"its very name once synonymous with sectarianism and intransigence - is now a largely nationalist university"
What utter balls you talk. You rejoice that a previously sectarian institution has mutated into a "largely nationalist" institution, you fail to notice the contradiction in your statment
largely nationalist=sectarian
largely Unionist=sectarian
There is a laudable enthusiastic desire on behalf of northern nationalism and republicianism to smash unionist on nationalist sectarianism but is there also an unconcious or concious desire to restructure the northern state with its sectarian poles reversed?
The idea of living in a state controlled by the Ógra Shinners is as equaly repulsive as the idea of living in a sectarian Orange controlled state.
and theyll be joining the British crown forces themselves quite soon , courtesy of the PSNI . Which makes you wonder why theyre bothering with this protest . The British Army are only servants of the British state in Ireland . Sinn Fein have accepted that state . Why protest ?
Ah but of course! In the bourgeois, unthinking, regrssive mentality of some, the term "nationalist" is synonymous with "sectarianism".
My point in noting the new political dynamics at Queen's was not to suggest some sectarian role reversal, but to point to the fundamentally different thrusts within conetnding nationalisms. The unionist hegemony had promoted a supremacist mindset, excluded Catholics and suppressed their cultural and political expression. However, I believe that Irish nationalists, who have suffered such repression, represent a predominantly progressive, modern and forward thinking political ethic. They may oppose the British Army recruiting at Queen's, but they also oppose sectarianism and the dominance of one community over another. They often share a broadly (if watery) socialist political ideology (and I would even stretch this to include the SDLP) and support a libertarian outlook that challenges the outmoded tribalism of unionists.
Your belief that this is somehow sectarian is simplistic and mislead. It correlates with opinions I would normally associate with someone who has rarely, if ever, been to the North, supports the SWP, is a student from middle class Dublin, drinks Lattés, reads the Sunday Independent and the odd Sparticist pamphlet, thinks Nelson Mandela a counter-revolutionary and believes the May Day scuffles on Dame Street comparable - in historical terms - to the storming of the Bastille.
'waggon Minx' obviously never attended uni. as he / she dont understand the meaning of sectarianism. Sectarianism is based on ones religion and not if your unionist or nationalist.
"The British army are an illegal force of occupation"
Actually when Gerry and the other revolutionaries of Sinn Fein signed the dotted line on that infamous good friday they legitimised the occupation. This is a bit like the vichy government of france clling for an end to german army recruitment.
Collaborator stick to thy last!
(and stop trying to fool the rest of us)
In the past a SP member on QUBSU Executive supported a BA recruiting stall at Queens. He called the SF opposition to the stall "sectarian". The same SP member opposed naming a bursary after muredered Human Rights lawyer Pat Finucane but then went on to support a proposal that a bursary be named after a Unionist who had been killed by the IRA.
he wasnt a student of english!
Sectarian: 1.of or concerning a sect 2. bigoted or narrowminded in following the doctrines of ones sect.
Oxford english dictionary definition of sectarian.
How will ORANGEise wriggle out of this one? Seeing as they are opposed to the State you'd think they would oppose a British Army recruitment day. But this might be seen as sectarian so you wont see any members of ORANGEise at this protest.
sorry observer it is yerself who has the limited understanding of sectarianism having lived in the north of Ireland all my life my use of the trems unionist and nationalist in referance to sectarianism is perfectly valid. The northern conflict may once have been rooted in religous oposition but it now has absolutely nothing to do with religon. It has evolved (if that is the correct word) into somthing quite different. Considering that the majority of the combatants are Catholic or Protestant in name only. I use the term sectarian to describe a an opposition between two SECTS.

I have never been amember of any political party never mind the SWP and as I said I have lived in the north of Ireland all my life.

"U Fuk", ahem, is the term of abuse minx uses to describe me.
I am above responding in like terms, but will note that his unqualified ascription of the term "sectarian" to all nationalists is absurd, and his defuinition of sectarian as "narrow-minded" and "parochial" might more fittingly be ascibed to his good self.
I suspect that there are at least five million people on this island who would agree with me, which suggests that his use of the term "factional" is just as absurd.
...is an ignoramus, and obviously a unionist or stoop.
