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 Saker >>

Documentary films in IFI - Thurs 13.09.07 to Sun 16.09.07.
Hi
Not trying to take away from the good work of the Seomra Spraoi Screening Group (Wednesday nights) but there are a few documentary films that might be of interest to people here on in the IFI in Temple Bar from Thurs 13.09.07 to Sun 16.09.07.
Stranger than Fiction Documentary Season 07
http://www.irishfilm.ie/cinema/season2_07.asp?SID=134
Sample given below, check the web for more details.
Losers and Winners
http://www.irishfilm.ie/cinema/dispfilm_07.asp?filmID=5630
German efficiency and Chinese industriousness pass each other on globalization's economic ladder in this revealing, candid and wryly humourous look at the efforts of 400 Chinese workers, supervised by 30 German foremen (“The Shutdown Department”), to cut apart a virtually brand new coking plant so it can be rebuilt in China. While the German foremen lament the loss of jobs and fret over what they perceive as unsafe working practices, the Chinese workers struggle to support their families back home and wonder why the Germans always leave for the day when the real work is just beginning. With intimate access to an industrial marvel, and to subjects who are decidedly frank in their admonition of each other, directors Ulrike Franke and Michael Loeken explore the dicey cultural dynamics between two countries facing very different futures.
Iraq in Fragments
http://www.irishfilm.ie/cinema/sdispfilm_07.asp?SID=134...=5628
This prize-winning documentary is a genuinely awe-inspiring work of cinéma vérité filmmaking. Longley spent more than two years filming in Iraq, often under extraordinary duress, to create this stunningly photographed, poetically rendered vision of post-War Iraq as seen through the eyes of Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds. This unforgettable film opens a window on the world of the war’s casualties that is profoundly haunting and often ravishing. An opus in three parts, Iraq in Fragments offers a portrait of the different faces of war: a fatherless boy is apprenticed to the owner of a Baghdad garage; Sadr followers in two Shiite cities rally for regional elections while enforcing Islamic law at gunpoint; and a family of Kurdish farmers welcomes the US presence, which has allowed them freedom previously denied. Despite the disparity of the stories, the film flows with a wholeness that is both grand and intimate in scale.
Mosney
http://www.irishfilm.ie/cinema/sdispfilm_07.asp?SID=134...=5619
Thirty miles north of Dublin lies a collection of rundown chalets and rusting fairground rides. This is Mosney, for fifty years a family holiday destination, which at its peak could accommodate 2800 campers and 4000 day visitors. Today, it is a holding centre for asylum seekers: in this surreal global village people wait years for decisions on their asylum claims. There are children who were born here. Mosney, a crumbling relic of a pleasure centre, is the only world they know. Over three years, the filmmakers lived in Mosney, gaining the trust of the residents and an unprecedented insight into lives spent in constant fear of deportation. From Congo, Kurdistan, Nigeria, Somalia, Sri Lanka and countless other countries, we hear why people have been forced to leave everything and move to a country full of strangers. We learn about the trauma of waiting in this bizarre processing centre, and the disintegration of aspirations, ambitions and mental health while the slow wheels of our administration ponder their lives.
Manufacturing Dissent
http://www.irishfilm.ie/cinema/sdispfilm_07.asp?SID=134...=5632
Manufacturing Dissent – Uncovering Michael Moore is an exposé documentary on film-maker and polemicist Michael Moore. It chronicles the supercharged climate in America that has fuelled Moore’s transition from struggling filmmaker to icon of the political left. The film seeks to separate fact, fiction and legend, as the directors Caine & Melnyk track Moore on tour during the release of the explosive Fahrenheit 9/11, his sensational documentary that spoke out against the integrity of the Bush Administration.
Interestingly, both Caine and Melynk admit to being supporters of Moore. Then they began looking at the methods Moore employs in his films, and the deeper they dug, the more they began to question these processes. The result is a controversial, wellrounded portrait of Michael Moore the man, and an engrossing indictment of his shady, manipulative tactics as a documentary maker. ‘Intelligent and provocative, this film is not an assault by right-wing ideologues but a dissection by two ‘progressive liberals,’ and has all the more impact for it.’ Variety
Cheers,
Ronan
