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 4 5 6 7 8Foxes are Vermin, so to is the townie who attempts to bring his/her ignorant sentimental ideas into the countryside, without understanding
the destructive wild animals who kill the domestic fowl and the wild pheasant clutches.
Aye' Ye all want free range organic eggs in yer shops I suppose?
An yet Ye don't want us folks to go about culling the Fox population and Ye are also of the same ilk that lets free the Mink to roam and kill the wildlife.
You townies need to keep indoors and let us Culchies alone to do what we knows best. Cos we for generations have been tending to our ancient historic ways, by keeping the balance of nature just so.
Would you ever cop on? There was no hunting before the British gentry imported the practice, and saddos like you think it makes you special to ride around in a red coat, even though even the English have now stopped this cruel and pointless practice.
If yous was as well up in foxing as us culchies.
Then you'd know that when we go after Mr & Mrs Fox, we go out at night and on foot - what in hell would we want a girt lumbering horse for & a pack of hounds?
Mr Ren any culchie - countryman worth his salt whether Irish or English, who is intent on reducing the Fox population does the same. Like t'other chap says we have been doing this for thousands of years. Only today we have a twelve bore shotgun as opposed to a bow and arrow, plus a whistle and a torch.
well said paddy i hunt foxes twice a week and i consider em vermin .I dont hunt with horses or rifle just me my terriers and my lurchers.Most people will never see the devastation a single fox can do to a full chicken pen .They kill all inside any only eat maybe one .Now this can cause serious cash problems ofr small farms .
ignorance perhaps......
of the life cycle of the fox
or complete idiocy as they have no interest in exploring the same.....
ignorance i can excuse
I am ignorant of many things
HOWEVER
I am a county girl
from co. laoise
And I take particular offense at the implication made here that I am an illiterate, blood thirsty thug.
How DARE you say that country people are pro blood spillimg for fun? It is NOT true.
I just wish to point out that nether myself nor scent farrell have ever intimated that Foxing is fun - it is an efficient and necessary means of controlling the number foxes that kill our domestic fowls; no more than that.
The fact that you live in Co. Laoise or Dublin 4 makes no odds to us. Because both Foxes and the wild Mink do considerable damage to hen houses and the latter. The Mink has been known to kill Cats too as well as other small animals, for other than man it has no predator in this country.
Perhaps instead of falsely condemning us you might find away of ridding the countryside of the Mink ?
The old Gaelic song portrays the fox as a sly cute hoor ready to snatch 'a fine fat goose' from the struggling farmer; so good luck to the hunters who keep the numbers of this predator down.
An maidrin rua,rua,rua,rua rua
An maidrin rua ta granna
An maidrin rua ina lui sa luachair
Agus barra a dha chluais in airde
So the Brits introduced hunting, did they? Ha ha, Cu Culainn and the red branch knights got their sport in long before that when they foraged through the virgin forests in search of game like wild boar and deer. The wild rabbits and hares were fair game too. Once sheep and cattle were domesticated and penned in at night the foxes and boars were marked down as enemies just as much as sporting trophies
Nowadays more jaywalking, myopic badgers are run down late at night by motorists than the number of foxes killed by horse riding hunters.
Imagine the devestation here this morning to find 17 of our mixed breed house of hens killed by the miserable mink who kills for the fun of it.He /she just took one and left the others .Shut up all you do gooders.The Fox and the Mink have to be controlled.I dont care whether the guy is wearing a coat of multicolours or nothing at all.I would gladly buy him any coloured coat he wanted if he gets rid of the mink.
