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 10Have met this man in his protest outside the Dail and believe he is 110% genuine. He is telling a story of very disturbing corruption by very senior people in Irish society. My advice to him is to stick with it and one day soon he will bring the perpetrators to justice. I admire him for his tenacity eventhough all the stress and strain has caused him ill health. Will some decent people come forward to help his and to expose this corruption before it gets any worse?
I have no doubt that the truth will come out one day like Ian Bailey but at what cost to the Tracey family?.
I have read this shocking story on the website referred to. How can this abuse of an innocent man continue in this country where Enda Kenny has faithfully promised that such abuse will not be tolerated. I can only assume that Enda Kenny and Alan Shatter are fully aware of this story? It is shameful and I am losing my faith in politicians who do nothing but make promises, including the Taoiseach. The Tracey family deserve justice for the wrong done to them.
Just how exactly was Bailey framed as suggested above? What lies or false evidence was introduced? If anything, the Garda fuck up did him a favour
Bailley may well have been helped by local Garda " fuck up". Not a smart move linking the two cases, imho.
Judge Michael White then took a Judicial Review in the High Court which the Traceys with their legal team contested all the way to the Supreme Court. At all times the Traceys were told by their legal team that they could not lose their legal planning (building) permission. After four years, the Supreme Court gave its judgement quashing the legally obtained planning (building) permission in favour of Judge Michael White.
The legal team should not have given that advice. No solicitor knows how a judicial review is going to turn out in the High Court let alone the Supreme Court..
Did the Traceys get that "legal" advice in writing?
Ian Baileys case is a bit more serious than this.
"How, for example, could the billions of Euros (believed to be in the region of €62 billion to date) so far paid out by our corruption-ridden and criminal-ridden Government (Executive, Legislative, and Judicial) possibly comply with Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (the Supreme Law of the Republic of Ireland) requirements, when the people of the Republic of Ireland have NEVER even been consulted, through the use of a constitutional referendum, on the matter of the 'bankers bailouts': relating to the hundreds, and possibly thousands, of trillions of Euros worth of derivatives-gambling-debts which the bankers have thus far self-indulgently (and fraudulently) created for themselves (out of thin-air, from nowhere, out of nothing)?"

having read through that website, only half of the story seems to be told there.
this ultimately seems to be about planning permission being denied, i wonder if the original planning permission was complied with and if not has this just snowballed? there is mention of a supreme court hearing going against him on that website though i cant seem to find any judgment on the courts website.
interestingly there is a judgment of judge charlton dated 29 june 2010. it appears this guy sued two boys aged 11 and 12 for playing football outside his gaff and it also mentions that the district court found him guilty of assaulting one of their parents. seriously what the hell is that about? why isn't that set out on that website?
Theres no conspiracy here. We're dealing with someone who sues young boys. This guy is a neighbour from hell.
An action taken by a couple alleging that 23 defendants – including various members of the Garda Síochána, the DPP, the Attorney General, two judges and some neighbours, among them two small boys – had engaged in a conspiracy to breach their constitutional rights was dismissed as an abuse of the process of the court.

somewhat rhetorical here but seeing as he is banging on about how much tax payers money was wasted in "malicious" prosecutions, i wonder whether he'd be prepared to refund the state the money wasted on that particular legal flight of fancy.
Dont get Phil Hogan to collect it.
Tracey is a classic example of someone who sees the entire world plotting against him. Even little boys are his enemies and are part of the conspiracy. Hes a flake.
