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

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.

Concerned residents from East Wall and North Strand raised the medical waste issue after they unearthed syringes in a mound of soil being used as backfill for the park.
A quantity of hospital waste was initially found in 2001 after excavations for the Port Tunnel at the Alfie Byrne Road took place through the old municipal dump.
Dublin City Council confirmed that this amounted to a skip full of material that was safely disposed of in 2001/2002, under licence by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and in accordance with EU regulations. It was exported for incineration in Belgium.
A commitment was given by Dublin City Council that residents can engage the services of an independent environmental consultant and that the council will cover the costs.
Joe Mooney, chairperson of East Wall Residents' Association, said he believed that without the intervention of residents, unsuitable material would have continued to be used in the park.
“Dublin City Council have a responsibility to address this without further delay,” Mr Mooney said.
Mr Mooney said he has also been made aware that some of the soil being stored for use as backfill for Fairview Park is now destined for a waste treatment plant in Portlaoise as it has been deemed unsuitable.
The city council spokeswoman told Northside People that the soil in question contained residue left from fires.
“It is not easily biodegradable and is considered by the EPA as unsuitable for backfill,” she said.
“There is a piece of this mound exposed which includes such residue.
“It's not harmful to the public in any way but as it is deemed unsuitable for backfill it will be removed and sent to Portlaoise.”
It was 2003, the machinery was well off course tunneling under Mr Eamon Wood's house in Marino, when he lost between 17 & 18 kitchen tiles.

Tim Brick, Deputy City Engineer, discussed that afternoon the damage to Mr Woods'house and the Port Tunnel work but significantly no-one asked about the underground reptilian alien base _at that time_

maybe the mainstream media is waking up. The Mirror newspaper today has pictures of needles found in the park, on page 27. Latest news is that the environmental protection agency (E.P.A) has not given permission for this work. With no permission this is illegal dumping. Instead of doing things right the council gave themselves a permit, which they are not allowed to do. The more they lie the more trouble they are making. Will anybody make these people answer for their lies, and wasting money ?
The council have a fight on their hands for sure. These are communitys who know how to take on the big guys. They stopped Harry Crosbie in the Docks when he tried to build his life size homage to New York. They also took on C.I.E. twice and won. This is the only part of the country that has forced C.I.E. to put up sound proof barriers between the houses and the rail lines. C.I.E. always refuse to do this but would have faced problems working working if they didn't agree to keep the residents happy. They even paid the bill the residents ran up with a private sound engineer to keep them happy. The council should just do what is right and don't drag on and lose in the end anyway.
Well done to the fighting communitys, i wish there were more like them.
will this tunnel ever open? will it ever be complete?
