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.

It?s Time to Make Judges Accountable Again Fri Oct 10, 2025 13:26 | Dr David McGrogan
Nearly 80% of Britain's 'Establishment' is Left-wing. No wonder our 'independent' judges keep making lunatic decisions. It's time they were made accountable to voters once again, says Dr David McGrogan.

Ogra SF in will tonight hold a picket at the Statoil Garage on the Deansgrange Road, Blackrock, Dun Laoghaire starting at 6.30pm, in solidarity with the imprisoned Mayo farmers known as the Rossport Five and their beleagured community.
This is the third of an ongoing series of actions that have seen gra Shinn F in shut down Statoil garages on Usher’s Quay and on the Northumberland Road within the last week.
A spokesperson for ogra SF in said: “We are aiming to keep up the pressure on Statoil, who own over 36% of the consortium seeking to exploit the Corrib field, tonight. Support from members of the driving public at previous protests has been nothing short of phenomenal and we know similar actions have been taken in other parts of the country and are planned in the days and weeks to come by comrades in Sinn F in and other people outraged by the treatment of Philip and Vincent McGrath, Willie Corduff, James P Philbin and Miche l Seighin at the hands of Shell and Statoil.
For further details please contact Damien D. on 0866053074.
Why are Sinn Féin jumping on this band wagon? Since when have they had a mandate to defend human rights? Does this not detract from the Rossport cause?
'Why are Sinn Féin jumping on this band wagon?'
Having watched the Corrib/Shell situation for a while - I can tell you that Sinn Féin has not 'jumped on the Band Wagon' recently - they have been on it for a long time. Dail questions have been asked for a long long time and opposition was from the start.
Better question would be, why have so many other groups been late to hitching a right on this Band Wagon? Why did so many run off to Scotland when the 'real action' was here at home?
Some of the 'people in scotland' were back and in attendance at the dublin rally. Others that are in scotland help maintain this site on which sf and other groups can inform others of what they are doing in this campaign at present. When the majority get back I'm sure they will be taking a full part in campaign. It's not either/or it's both/and.
Members of DGN and other concerned individuals will picket a Shell station tonight in support of the Rossport 5.
Everyone's welcome to take part. Harold's Cross Bridge @ 5.15.
do sinn fein support or condem the london bombings, I Mean the ones that when off yesterday not the ones Sinn Fein/IRA planted over the last 30 years. Death and injury by Bombs isnt any nicer when a Sinn Fein Man or woman blows you up, I wouldnt let sinn fein get involved in the Shell situation if I was a local up there as they might just decide to Blow it up some night without telling the locals before hand, and I have a feeling they will then deny it for maybe 20yrs and then admit to it.
the post you are commenting on has nothing to do with the london bombings. If you want to know what SF are saying or not saying go to their press room at www.sinnfein.ie
More gravedancing and political pointscoring at the expense of dead civilians - lovely.
But I commend their youth members for taking this stand against the theft of Irish resources . There have been a number of these posts now saying Sinn Fein ( and Id presume all Irish republicans) shouldnt be allowed to protest on this national issue .
I cant believe this mentality is still in existence in this day and age . Sinn Fein as well as any other republican has every right to protest about this and shame on anyone who would attempt to marginalise or silence anyone because they are republican in outlook .
As for the nonsense about Sinn Fein blowing up the pipeline that is absolutely ridiculous . Personally Id be more worried about Gerry and Martin sticking a fat brown envelope in their back pockets a la Ray Burke and telling their activists to go home .
Leaving that aside the concerns of their youth activists on this issue seems to be genuine so fair play to them .
Left before the jailings took place and had been organising leaving for a long time before. It'd be very gadfly and reactionary to have suddenly dropped everything while in Scotland and come back after being there a matter of hours. Instead they organised a large protest outside the Irish embassy in Edinburgh, so no sniping please. See link below for pictures and details:
As it's nigh impossible to compete independently in so many commercial and industrial sectors, 230 of Statoil's 300 service stations in Ireland are franchises owned and operated by 'independent' individuals.
I appreciate that these franchisees have in doing business with Statoil aligned themselves with the company's operations in general, but I think it's worth remembering that they are involved only indirectly. I realise that hitting a corporation in the pocket is where it hurts most but in picketing and boycotting franchisees' stations we may be doing more relative harm to the little man than the Ubercorp. Maybe Statoil ASA's headquarters in the IFSC would be a more appropriate point at which to air grievances of this nature.
We had a good little protest outside the Statoil station on the Cabra Road today independently of Sinn Féin. There weren't enough of us to occupy it. :)
I seen a SF run demo against Shell in Palmerstown today,fair play to SF.Keep the presure on Shell,they can't get away with this.
Fair play Claire, mate of mine drove past youse last night and beeped in support.
