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 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17We have had a number of queries from people working in the same building as Raytheon asking if they will be allowed through the blockade. This will depend on how the blockade is policed. If the PSNI respect the right to protest, then we should be able to organise a specific entrance for the call centre workers. However, if the police make it difficult, then the Stream workers may end up having a day off....
The roof of the Raytheon building in Bristol looks like a camping site. Three anti-arms trade protesters have been up there since 9th Dec. A fourth joined them recently, despite the bitter cold weather.
For full details of the Bristol rooftop protesters see http://www.bristol.indymedia.org/article/689490

Those for whom you are contributing the benefits (and we thank you for all your sacrifice) are actually trying to contribute to a better world where our fellow man can live in both peace and equality and without the fear of foreign armies coming in and murdering them and their children. Still if working in Stream is more important to you, make your feelings known at the picket line tomorrow morning and we will ensure that you get in to work safely and unmolested.
Hi all , i totally agree with what this protest is about and if i wasnt working in stream that day i would particpate myself as I cant believe the suffering the palestenian people are experiencing at the hands of israel at the moment . Will I be able to get into work tomorrow in stream building one..Ive just recently started training this week for stream and need this job and stream have informed employees that if they do not get into work tomorrow they may face disciplinary measures.. Will the protestors be allowing cars to park in the car park at stream or will you be blockin all traffic into the ulster science and technology park
Much solidarity
Wish I could make it, but have prior wage slave commitments at the same time.
I can pay the bus fare of a blockader from Dublin if one is heading up etc.
Make contact when you get back etc
Good luck
You have little to worry about stream worker if all you have to face is a slap on the wrist for not coming in to work.
Imagine if Israeli tanks were shelling your house. Imagine hearing your kids scream in fear. Imagine having to pick their bodies out of the wreckage of your own home and then having to bury them with hundreds of other mourning people. And all you care about is weather or not you get to sit behind a desk. Don't be so pathetic and come and join the protest. Do some good with your life.
Report from BBC News:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/foy...3.stm
Raytheon workers allegedly being bused to Belfast ?
Well done to your succesfull blockade.Can we have an update please..
So all the stream worker worries about is getting to sit behind their desk? Imagine they get fired from their job for not showing up, imagine they have childrend to feed but cant afford to keep up the bills because they lost their job. I think this is a bit more likely than picking their children from rubble, which incidently would be a better use of your time rather than a pointless protest. But Des, you took the time from your busy schedule to do so some good with your life, and im sure there are people alive today who may not be if it werent for the actions of yourself and others today. We, the pathetic "wage slaves" are in awe.
Des
How dare you post something like that, That is nothing less than digusting what you posted. I appreciate that what is happening in Gaza is wrong but how dare you suggest that the Stream worker getting a slap in the wrist is ok because of your protest.
That employee first and foremost has to look out for his family and with times being tight and Christmas being just past most of us need every penny going. It is completly wrong for you to compare such things and for one if that is the mentality of the DAWC as a whole you have lost any support you may have had from myself.
Heavy policing of peacefull protest is a nationwide problem and indeed a waste of taxpayers money.I hope all the above write a complaint into the appropriate Justice departments and demand that this practice end.
And again well done for shutting down Raytheon for the day .
It is quite clear that call centre workers were not the targets of the action and had accecss to the building.
So you forced the workforce of Ratheon to work from home today whilst forcing workers in other offices to travel to belfast, thus achieving nothing more than getting Eamonn McCann's face in the news for a bit. Well done.
Bemused.
We forced people to become aware of the bigger picture.
People were inconvenienced for one day, yes. Is that such a big deal when you consider the bigger picture and what we are trying to stop?
We sent a message to the Government.
We sent a message to Raytheon.
We reinfused the peace movement, especially in the North West and shook off the cobwebs.
Some of us are not pepared to just sit by and do nothing while weapons are made and people die...
While i really do support the point you are trying to make i believe that this protest will have lost you
a lot of support from ordinary Derry folk/workers. For long enough we have been fighting to get jobs here
and now we have the likes of Stream and HML. I really feel that protests should be orchestrated so
that Derry workers are not affected, especially if you want to gain more support in this town.
it has already been stated in the article at the top of this page that if the protest was not policed right then Stream workers would have a day off. Thats hardly not intimidating for anyone who works there. I'm just stating that you would gain much much more support from people if workers weren't brought into this.
Concerned.
Why not come along to the next DAWC meeting?
Bring your friends. Get involved.
We need to increase awareness in Derry especially as too many people do not get the big picture.
This is not about keepin work out of Derry. Its about bringing ETHICAL jobs to Derry.
Raytheon make weapons. We do not want them here and we should not have to suffer them here.
Is this the kind of work you or your friends want to do? To watch the TV and see bodies of innocents strewn across the ground knowing that you helped make the weapons that did it? Of course you don't.
There is no reason why protests will cost Derry jobs. I think you are over-reacting just a tad.
Concerned
I think you will find (read it and think again) that this is aimed at the PSNI and the sometimes heavy-handed tactics they use. If they had not policed it properly then they would have turned everyone away and not let anyone in, sealing up the park and the building Raytheon are in. The only people who were intimidated were the protestors, by the heavy hands of the PSNI. No change there.
