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.

Australia?s Claim to Have Helped Bring Peace to Gaza After Recognising ?State of Palestine? is Beyon... Sat Oct 18, 2025 09:00 | Dr James Allan
Australia's attempt to share credit for bringing peace to Gaza after recognising a 'State of Palestine' and making repeated calls for an under-siege Israel to restrain itself is beyond risible, says Prof James Allan.

7.30pm at the ATGWU Hall, 55 Middle Abbey Street.
A dangerous precedent has been set here. These people committed a criminal act, and they should have been delt with in a proper manner. By letting them off the hook the Irish Justice system has sent out a terrible message to the nation. They are saying that political crimes will be tolerated, and people who commit them can claim refuge in the fact that it was a political crime. If somebody kills another person and cites political reasons in an attempt to exonerate themselves, they are no less a murderer. Therefore, anybody who trespasses and causes criminal damage for political reasons is no less a criminal than the person who enters a private home and interferes with items belonging to another person
I Agree with the last comment. Even though their main point, that helping either side of a war might therefore lead to the involvment of our Irish nutrality, might be correct. Any means of physical sabbotage to prove a point, diminishes the credibility of the protestor. This can be seen in many protests that have been carried away by testosterone driven madness, a reminder of the caveman instinct in all humans, must be controlled if we are to live in a democratic civilisation that made wars were fought over.
It's a phrase that the local FFers and hangers on are using to distract from their own failures on the Shannon issue. They point to this and say "SEE! SEE! These people want you to lose your jobs! Don't let them! They want to shut the airport down completely! No jobs, no flights for anyone!"
Meanwhile Martin Cullen is privatising Aer Lingus, removing the dual gateway status and prevaricating on the Rail link to Shannon. All of which should be mentioned next time Ciaron or anyone else is on Clare FM.
". If somebody kills another person and cites political reasons in an attempt to exonerate themselves, they are no less a murderer. Therefore, anybody who trespasses and causes criminal damage for political reasons is no less a criminal than the person who enters a private home and interferes with items belonging to another person"
The US military in Iraq is killing people for political reasons. And tresspassing in Iraq. And causing criminal damage in Iraq.
Compared to that, what happened in Shannon to that plane is small beer.
At no point did i incline that I was in favour of the US occupation. I certaiinly am not. However, I am free tocondemn the actions of the people. They should not have done what they did. Wheather its small potatoes relative to the occupation is beside the point
After the uprising of the 17th June
The Secretary of the Writers Union
Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee
Stating that the people
Had forfeited the confidence of the government
And could win it back only
By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier
In that case for the government
To dissolve the people
And elect another?
Give it up Jonathon D, you've lost in court, you've lost the people and your concern for the malicious building of shrines and and heinous defence of our neutrality is touching - but a bit 2003.
but of course you oppose the war - why else would you write your attacks.
I am not condoning the War or the occupation. It has become apparent to me that Left Wingers seem to have a very warped view of logic. Just because I disagree with their tactics, it does not mean I support the War or the occupation. I despise war, it leads to nothing but the deaths of innocent Children and people. However, I believe that a society needs laws and regulations, and that applies across the board. Frankly left wingers are the ones who hide behind the constitution, and various legislation when it is on thier side. Otherwise, it appears they dont believe it applies to them. I remember a case where the SWP and the SP in NUI Galway had YFG or the YPD'S thrown from the freshers tent when they found out they were not properly registered as a society. Now thats a proper logic, that when the law is in their favour the left wingers will use it, but at other times (like Mr O Reilly ET AL) they felel it does not apply to them, particlarly when it comes to their own point of view
JP Murphy made an excellent point, protests can be taken too far, and this one was
Jonathan D
somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 iraqis have died because (or at least partially because) of Ireland's non-neutrality regarding GW Bush's War on the Iraqi people.
if smashing a few US warplanes is not justified, considering that
then what is?
letter of the law - or spirit
people's lives are at stake
and ireland - regardless if it thinks of itself as so - is the centre of that hurricane
centre of the hurricane, regardless if irish activists and politicians want to think so.
right now as I write this this the brits are positioning their politics away from George W
what is happening today in Ireland?
please inform me.
Look, I just dont believe its their prerogative to smash up planes (war ones or otherwise). As I said in my first post a very dangerous precedent could be set here. Anti war activists could act in a polkitically motivated manner and it could lead to very serious damage. I totally support the Anti War movement, but i feel things like this discredit the AWI. Iqt should be seen as a group of protest, and a very vocal one at that. It should not be seen as some kind of group who smash up planes and cause criminal damage. Its like Youth Defence. Their cause may be noble, however their use of basebal bats and hurley sticks at meetings of the IFPA or pro choice meetings in general have served to discredit them badly, and as a result they are forced to peddle their wares on the side of OConnell Street on saturday afternoons, at a time when people have better things to do.
People should do things legally and properly. People should make their voices heard and be loud about what they believe in. However when they resort to criminal activity they stain the name of their cause and the organisation
"These people committed a criminal act, and they should have been delt with in a proper manner. "
__________________________________________________________
They were dealt with in a proper manner. A manner that properly highlighted the bias of Ireland's legal system on behalf of political interest. Yet, they were still found : Not Guilty of any crime .
Not bad for this little corner of civilisation.
Actually , I believe they were deemed to be righteous in their assertion that by not acting against the criminal war effort they would be failing to prevent an international crime from occurring. Subsequently , correctly charged with being highly concerned for the safety of other people. Found guilty.....but, not yet a crime. They walked free.
However, the rest of the country ignoring that fine moment of clarity? That is probably a crime under existing international law.
This is why noone can be arsed to comment on this anymore because if anyone says they disagree they are automatically antiwar, or a troll or some poor person with no idea(basically people throwing cheap remarks).
Somebody will get hurt from one of these shenanigans soon and then the bricks will start to hit
mark my words
The Anti-War Ireland meeting in the ATGWU hall last night was really good. About 80 people. Good talks by two of the ploughshares and by Harry Brown of AWI and Village. Mixed contributions from the floor - some good, some saying the usual stuff. Would have been better if there was more time for discussion but the ATGWU always seem to be strict about time.
