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 >>

event notice
 Thursday August 07, 2008 17:24 by Grace Walsh - Voluntary Service International grace at vsi dot ie 30 Mountjoy Square +353-1-8551011
Exploring the Israel / Palestine conflict in the NI context
The Causeway project will bring together 4 groups of young people from the ROI, NI and Israel. The latter group are representative of both the Israeli Jewish community and the Palestinian community in Israel. All the young people involved are working, volunteering or active in peace building organisations connected to the conflict in Israel and the Occupied Territories. The participants have considerable experience in the various strands of this peace building work – peace organisations, NGOs, cross-community work, youth work, human advocacy work, dialogue work, etc… Those participants from the ROI and Northern Ireland, have a good working knowledge of the conflict in Israel / Palestine as well as practical experience in these various fields. The origin of the project lies in the ever-increasing need for those in the peace-building sector in Israel to evaluate their practices, learn from the practical examples of Northern Ireland, and to connect with others working in the same field. There is a feeling among those working for peace in Israel, that motivation, vision and clarity of purpose are lacking as the obstacles and political direction in Israel become increasingly difficult to tackle, and the activist / peace building communities lack focus, energy and support. The project hopes to address the need within this community of peace builders for learning, sharing of ideas and practices, reflection on past experiences and a need for long-term planning. Prior to this, many actions of the peace builders in Israel have been carried out on a reactionary basis in response to Israeli government actions, or specific events. There is a need for long-term strategic planning if a peaceful reconciliation and management of the conflict is to come about.
Project Aims and Objectives:
The project has three key objectives;
• To give the participants the opportunity to learn and reproduce the practical methodologies and models that are in use by practitioners of peace building in post-conflict Northern Ireland.
• To give participants the opportunity to reflect and evaluate their own experiences of peace building and to share these experiences with their counterparts from Israel, NI and the ROI.
• To build the basis of a community / network of peace builders who will gather, learn and evaluate together on a yearly basis and through this project outline clear and practical actions which can be taken.
The general aims of the project are;
• To share learning and practical examples about the Northern Irish peace process.
• To bring together experienced practitioners in peace building from Israel, NI and the ROI.
• To organise follow-up activities after the project.
• To create a space for dialogue, evaluation and reflection on the issue of peace in Israel / Palestine.
• To connect organisations / individuals / networks of people who are working towards cultivating peace in Israel / Palestine.
• To create a space for creativity and new ideas in this field.
Programme Outline:
The programme has very clear learning outcomes and objectives which will be facilitated by a number of professional a reputable facilitators working in the field of peace building in NI.
The programme will include three stages;
Learning and growing: The group will spend some time exploring their expectations of the project; facilitators will bring the group through group building exercises, while also exploring the challenges that face the group; The group will participate in workshops run by professional practitioners working in the field of peace building and learn about the methodologies and practices used by these people; The group will learn about the Northern Irish conflict through multimedia testimonies and workshops, as well as a walking tour of Derry.
Reflecting and evaluating: The group will move to the second venue, Corrymeela, for some reflective time, facilitated by Colin Craig of Tides Meditation Training. With Colin they will have a chance to process the content of what they have learned in the first stage of the project.
Creating and building: Following the time given for reflection and digestion of the learning elements, the group will begin to harvest ideas for their future work. This part of the programme will be facilitated using either a combination of Art of Hosting methodologies, or Dialogue for Peaceful Change, or both.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The Israelis don't recognise Palestinians living with Israel's border as Palestinians but as "Israeli Arabs" (or "Arab Israelis"). Similar to the Orange State's rejection of all things Irish, the Israelis won't even recognise the national identity of the most oppressed section of the population of the Zionist state. You think you can build peace from this?
That's fine. The Palestinians don't even recognize the right of Israel to exist. Can you build peace with that?
Ignoring the fact that most Palestinians currently accept a two-state solution, in the end the existence of the Israeli state is a barrier to peace and justice. It's a racist, expansionist settler state. The only hope for the region is a single state where Palestinian refugees are guaranteed the right of return. And there's enough land in Palestine to house them all, but of course then Zionist rule would be impossible and we just can't have that, can we? Israel is too important as a (highly-subsidized) US satellite state to let a bunch of Arabs run the show.
Surely the region without any Jews would be peaceful, ain't it? I'm very sorry, but the basics of peace-making are accepting the basic rights of the other side. Since you seem to agree that it would be much better without Israel, I understand your concernt is not peace but the only wellfare of Palestinians, so there's no difference between you and some Christian pro-Zionist from the States. Both of you are not really objective, and both of you are an obstacle to Peace.
And about majority of Palestinians, you are quite wrong. Take a look into whom was elected in Gaza, and take another look in their schoolbooks.
Buy the way, when my grandparents left Europe, all the walls were covered with graffities "Jews, go to Palestine!" Strange how too many walls are now covered with "Jews, get out of Palestine!"
