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 5comrade,i agree with your sentiment and would love to see this idea progressed.however i feel that under the present day circumstances and the need to start another revolution that may lead to the removal of this corrupt government and the ecomonic gangsters which it serves my and people like me would be best servents to the political ideals of the men and women of Easter 1916 by attending the protest called by eirigi at the same time on saturday (12pm saturday 24th Apr)on St Stephens Green outside the HQ of Anglo Irish Bank.
why not consider a change of time,or even venue for the year thats in it and join us at the Green.
I will be proud to be at the GPO for the launch of Republic Day, and suggest that it would be appropriate for Eirigi supporters to march from Anglo Irish Bank in Stephen's Green to join us!
Any chance could get some more information on this please - a link to the facebook site that you say has been set up would be a good start. If it's a genuine effort to organise the people behind the concept of a 'Republic Day' why not be a bit more open about it. Thanks
thought somethin fishy goin on here. who is this group, they should take part with other like minded people at the anglo irish bank protest . think its very important to put the people of 1916 message into practice with protest at current issues
I was in attendance at the GPO. The Rising only began once, on this date and at the GPO. In my view it's entirely appropriate for ordinary citizens to commemorate that event in this way. If others wish to organise other events at other locations under the umbrellas of an assortment of groups or movements then that's fine.
Today's event was organised by ordinary non-party citizens, proud of the women and men who put self-interest to one side for an ideal, an ideal that has been besmirched by lesser women and men who to an extravagant degree put their own interests first.
One thing that was driven home by the speakers was the utter failure of this state to honour the call for equality which was core to the Proclamation. A poem was recited, titled "The Citizen's Army Marched Last Night", leaving nobody in any doubt as to the motivation of the organisers - to point the citizens of this state towards the revolutionary and egalitarian ideals of those active in our society between 1913 and 1916, in the context of the upcoming centenaries of the Great Lock-out Strike and its offspring, The Easter Rising.
Nobody should be in any doubt as to the opportunity these upcoming centenaries provide for a re-birth of the broad left in this country and the rejection of the political sectarianism which has deeply damaged the interests of the left and the ordinary citizens alike in recent decades, a divisiveness which a couple of comments here appear to echo to some degree.
This event was organised between Wednesday and Friday, and I only became aware of it last night. From small seeds great oaks grow, and I will be at the GPO on April 24th 2011, along with a larger crowd, of that I'm sure. I will be doing my utmost between now and then to spread the word for Republic Day, in preparation for the necessary re-awakening of a dormant strain, amongst the ordinary people of Ireland, of rebellion against our masters.
If the left remains divided, with factions targeting each other, we are doomed. Let's turn the fire on our common enemies, the rich and powerful elites who have ripped this society asunder. Connolly found much to admire in Pearse, and vice-versa. I deeply hope that in a year we will have a few hundred people of the left, with a bit of backbone, coming together at the GPO on Republic Day, to commemorate a monumental event and to plan for the struggles ahead, in an atmosphere free from the all-too-familiar internecine squabbling.
We have very big fish to fry.
May you all enjoy the rest of Republic Day.
