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 latest word is that the thirty pro-lifers have gone home after fifty pro-choicers mobilised within half an hour outside the four courts.
Looks like a minor victory on the streets against reactionary elements.
Is it true they were praying?
'D' has not suceeded in the right to travel issue.
The Judge was acting within the legislation which means -'coequality'.
[equal right to life of mother and child].
There will be all types outside of the systems that have ensured that the debate excludes women.
The pro-lifers are as dis-enfranchised as the pro-choicers and the individual.
The legislation which was enacted as a result of the 'x' ruling, a codicil on co-equality
was inserted by FF. Therefore it is an issue that requires bringing all parties to the
table.
it is fifteen years since 'x' and the legislation has not been looked at, it has not been discussed
with women NGO's/Rights Groups nor individuals -
The State bears responsibility for putting the issue of women's reporductive rights
beyond the pale and excluding women from the political and ethical processes that
ultimately decide what happens to our bodies.
There will be press releases later.
is that a high court ruling or the district court?
It was the original District Court. To be honest the judge could not give the woman permission to travel for an abortion, as was requested. The High Court should have directed the disapplication of the original order, which would permit travel without consenting to it. The HSE could then have been invited to apply for a new order. The social worker who started this should be in front of the judge and press.
It isa the District Court which refused Miss D permission to travel. This happened on Saturday. Choice are aware of this. My information on it is that the District Court indicated that it was a matter for the High Court.
The High Court case is still continuing.
That poor girtl, She's been through eoough , How much more can she take?She's only 17 and like most of us will have to face more mishaps in the future. II hope she'll have the strength 2 cope in this tough world.
Thanks Pat C.
The ruling was within legislation in the district court on saturday.
The legislation still needs changing, however.
With right to travel given, the issues still remain the same. The precedent should not
have to be set in such a manner and by people having to take to the streets because they
are locked out of the decision making processes by the legislature.
apologies.c
"The ruling was within legislation in the district court on saturday."
Saturdays ruling afaiaa was a case of the District Court not taking responsibility for the case.
In the interests of clarity perhaps the discussion could be continued on the Choice list. That wa you could discuss matters with people who were at the protest and in Court today and would have more up to date information.
where is the choice list?
Apparently the District Justice ruled on the Constitution rather than legislation. There is no legisalation regarding Abortion rights. The district court judge said that allowing the right to travel would be a failure to uphold the rights of the unborn, He also said having regard to the judgment in the C case, where a 13-year-old girl who had been raped sought permission to go to the UK for an abortion, he believed the granting of such an order would be improper and unlawful. So he thinks he can overrule the High Court. Its likely this guy is a "lifer". The District Court doesnt exactly get the best & brightest legal minds.
There was a special sitting of the High Court yesterday where the HSE were given permission to challenge the district court's order.No decision as of yet, if it continues
tomorrow Choice will be outside the Court from about 10:30 again. We gave miss d our petition today and she reallyappreciated it and thanked us for the support and everything, so we really
are making a difference out there, at least for her
If the District Justice ruled on a Constitutional question he is wrong. Only the High and Supreme Courts can do that. The correct procedure if a constitutional issues arises in a District court case is for the Judge to "state a case" for the High Court, ie ask the appropriate constitutional question of the High Court and then give judgement in accordance with the answer received.
Exactly. Some of these guys take on airs and make the most ridiclious rulings. Sometimes those mad rulings can be ok, I was before the District Court on an assault charge once, The guy who I had "assualted" (it was justified) was committed to custody for a wek for psychiatric observation! I got the probation act.
In this case its not funny though. This "judge" is obviously a "lifer". He would imprison 13 year old rape victims.
