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.

Asa Briggs Embodied Everything Wrong With the Modern Age Wed Oct 15, 2025 19:15 | James Alexander

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8Global Mobile Vision seemed to have updated their site since last night.
They are now carrying a contact name and number for their DUBLIN operation:

One of the most distressing events that can occur when working for an IT company is a personal search. This time-honoured tactic is occasionally imposed when employers terminate employment. If the termination comes as a surprise, the personal search of bags, hard drives and the boot of your car will probably feel intimidating.

Hot Tip: Don't work for a tech company that lacks a meaningful web presence.

RunningWithBulls.com blog update about the Global Mobile Vision ex-employees meeting today
Global Mobile Vision: Update after ex-employee meeting
I have attended the meeting of GlobalMobileVision.com ex-workers, as earlier written about. The meeting took place in Buswells Hotel, opposite Leinster House, the seat of the Irish Government.
Approximately 40 people were in attendance, most notably Independent TD Finian McGrath including another public representative (who’s name I did not catch) a number of journalists, including a TV cameraman. Mr. McGrath sent apologies from TD Joe Higgins who said he was unable to attend the meeting.

I opened my mail this evening, and found a comment waiting for in my mail. It was a comment left by Alex Fitzgearld, a member of Global Mobile Vision management, Tech/Admin/Zone contact for the globalmobilevision.com domainname, and also as of yesterday PR contact for GlobalMobileVision.com in Dublin, in response to my earlier post about the GMV ex-employees meeting, which was held in Buswells hotel earlier today.
I have copied his comment to my post below, again, mainly to create a public searchable Internet cache, to keep a record of this event for others.

After receiving Mr. Fitzgearld’s response last night, I thought it would be in the best interest of everyone to involved to ask Global Mobile Vision a number of honest, straight questions.
I look forward, as I am sure do other people, to the answers.
=====
Open questions to Mr. Fitzgearld/GMV management. I would appreciate if you would take the time to respond to these questions.

Having offered me a job following extended interviews they kept me waiting in the lobby for 3 hours brought me upstairs and asked me to commence doing some research on mobile phone technology. 1 hour later told me to go home. Subsequently received no contact from them. Dodgy bunch. The only people I spoke with were some Irish girls who were also a bit dodgy.
