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: 4 3 2 1is there a 32csm pow protest in cork? are these protests being coordinated?
most people haven't a clue whats going on to be fair.
The conditions at Maghaberry prison have been appalling for some years now. It is ironic that it is now the anniversary of the Hunger Strikers and it is now coming to the 30th anniversary. One would have to ask now what did these men die for? I would also ask the question: Who is in charge in Dublin of the Irish Penal Reform Trust funded by various charities and I believe the biggest funding is from the Chuck Feeny Foundation - Atlantic philantropics. Irish Penal Reform Trust should mean what it says and that should include all Irish prisoners on the Island of Ireland and overseas. This is not happening and I would like to ask why? Some of my friends have attended in the last 2 years some seminars hosted by IPRT in top class hotel locations in Dublin. Not one ex prisoner is allowed address the audience. They are not even asked in any inclusive format to give their views or experiences in relation to their incarceration by different governments. Of late, I believe when you phone on behalf of a family who may have a member overseas in custody or even in a jail in Dublin, the advice they give you is: go to your nearest Citizens Information centre. These people are drawing down large salaries and give the impression on various radio stations that they are there in the best interests of Irish prisoners - national and global. This is not true. I would like to see more inclusion from various Civil Liberties groups across this island in relation to Maghaberry and overall to the conditions of prisoners across the island.

they just want another media headline about republicans causing prison riots (without explaining why properly) to insert with nice pictures of the queen being polite. Its a set up.
Below is a statement issued by RNU prisoner’s spokesperson Ciarán Cunningham on May 20th.
"It is with increasing concern Republican Network for Unity / Cogus, announces that on Thursday 19th May, republican prisoners in Maghaberry were forced to engage in hand to hand fighting with the prison riot squad for the second time in a week.
West Belfast prisoner Tony Rooney was later taken to Lagan Valley hospital for arm injuries sustained during the attack, which occurred when POWs again refused to recognise the new 7.30 pm lock up order, which they state is a blatant breach of the August 12th agreement.
The August agreement guaranteed for POWs a lock up time of 8.00pm.
As we understand, events leading up to the fight occurred as such.
On Thursday the senior officer in Roe House was informed in writing by RNU represented prisoners that in line with the August agreement they were officially refusing to recognise the new 7.30 lock up time introduced at the beginning of May.
The written statement also demanded that the agreed 8.00 am unlock time was also implemented by the prison administration.
At 7.15 pm screws ordered POWs to ‘lock up’, this call was ignored and at 7.18 up to 40 riot squad officers accompanied by dogs descended upon the recreation area and confronted the prisoners.
At 7.35 one officer 'Maverick’ again ordered prisoners to lock up, when this order was ignored he then turned to the riot squad and told them to ‘work away’.
On launching their attack, the riot squad were resisted physically by POWs and hand to hand fighting continued for at least ten minutes until prisoners were forcibly restrained and ejected from the recreational area.
Tony Rooney who only had his arm removed from plaster two days ago sustained further injuries during the attack and was taken out to Lagan Valley hospital at 11.30pm.
Interestingly, Loyalist prisoners housed just across from the republican wing were able to witness the confrontation from their yard and cheered on the riot squad during their attack, this factor in itself shows that the new lock up time is merely a manoeuvre intended to confront and undermine republicans and does not apply to Loyalists.
This morning the POWs have been told by the governor that he will mobilise the riot squad again today unless the new prison routine is followed, effectively threatening prisoners with violence unless they conform to his new regime.
However RNU represented prisoners are adamant that in defence of the agreement they will only recognise lock up times guaranteed on August 12th.
Morale is high and they are ready for whatever the prison administration throws at them.
Once again RNU & Cogus call for all interested parties to work for the full implementation of the August agreement, we worry that failure to do so may lead to inevitable and disastrous consequences for us all."
