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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4On Wednesday the Fifth of September the people arrested at the blockades will be returning to court
in Navan. Seven of the nine are on continuing bail for non-violent actions.
Two were later arrested and have less stringent bail conditions.
The defendants include members of the Camp/Vigil/Direct Action groups /CST/Revolt video.
They are facing group charges though some were there to record the blockades and
some to carry out their right of Protest.
The case seeking a halting of works , which is being undertaken by an individual Michael
Canney is one where a litigant is appealing under legislations to call a halt to the works
pending the outcome of the EU enquiry.
Both cases are ongoing with campaign supports asked for the criminal hearing tomorrow
and ongoing support to the litigant in the case to stop the road, which will be at a later
date and advertised on the Newswire.
The Minister for the environment has not responded to or met with either the campaigners
who are criminalised due to his predescessors political connivances nor with the
committee who are litigating for halting the road and highlighting the role of the EU
in relation to planning and heritage legislations in this country.

for information and support messages.
News is coming in that today (Monday) another Tara campaigner has been arrested near Rath Lugh while peacefully demonstrating against ongoing illegal construction work on a national monument. His name has been given as Rick Finley. Our friend Rick was arrested to appear in Navan court "later in the week".
Please support our people encamped on Rath Lugh. Basic food, in particular fresh fruit, is urgently needed. But also needed are candles, batteries, paraffin & paraffin lamps, and towels.
Now please Tarawatch document anything- get a camera down there.
Its not just about protest but the gathering of information.
http://www.tarapixie.net
http://www.savetara.com
http://www.tarawatch.org
They have a camera on Rath Lugh, and they are doing a fine job with it, as can be seen on
http://www.tarapixie.net . But also check livevideo.com and youtube.com for direct action vids from Rath Lugh, Lismullin and other areas in the Gabhra Valley.
But it can't do any harm having a second camera on Rath Lugh as back-up. Therefore let's put it on the shopping list as well
