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

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.

Climate ?Science? is Now Pure Politics Wed Oct 15, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10What a complete disgrace, Pat rabbitte should be ashamed of himself in calling on these brave men to apologies to the Court. I guess it just demonstrates how completely out of touch the Labour party are on this issue.
Rabbitte makes proposals to resolve Rossport impasse
Issued : Tuesday 30 August, 2005
Statement by Pat Rabbitte TD
Labour Leader & Spokesperson on Northern Ireland
The ongoing incarceration of five law-abiding citizens because of their convictions that the Shell operation at Rossport, County Mayo, may pose a risk to health and life is now bordering on becoming a national disgrace.
I am suggesting the following three-pronged approach to break the impasse
1. That Shell waives its interests under the injunction.
2. That the five men simultaneously apologise to the court.
3. That an agreed mediator, with access to whatever professional and technical advice is necessary, be appointed by Government to report on all of the issues of concern to the men.
Specifically, as far as the third point above is concerned, the mediator ought to be required in addition to the health and safety issues to report on what measures are proposed by the oil companies to contribute to the development of this region of Mayo. Whatever the merits of the original terms negotiated between the oil companies and the Government, it seems unlikely that these terms could now be unilaterally altered by any Irish Government.
However, since the oil companies concerned are the principal beneficiaries of the find off the Mayo coast, it is entirely reasonable that they be required to spell out what benefits will accrue to this underdeveloped region arising from this significant gas find in Irish waters.
The Government that negotiated the deal that has given rise to the present controversy is remarkably silent on what economic benefit redounds to this economy. From my meeting with the Shell management, they argue that over the duration of the contract benefits will accrue but both the company and Government are remarkably unwilling to spell out that benefit.”
yes, because "benefits" = "common good" and "common good" = constitutional problems for the government and Shell, thats why we aren't hearing much about the "benefits" or the "common good"!!!
It is true that the men have to apologise to the court for their contempt in order to get released, so in that, Pat Rabbitte is not wrong - people shouldn't be offended by his statement. It's a technical, administrative internal issue pertaining to the court itself. The men are aware of this, and as far as I know, they actually have no problem whatsoever in apologising to the court, as they are law-abiding and do not wish to be in contempt of the court. However, it is imperative that Shell waive their proceedings first so that the five can apologise, knowing that their right to protect their homes has not been forfeited in the process.
The apologise bit just looks like a face saving measure for the state. The important bit is the waving of the injunction. If this 'compromise' was accepted it would be a big victory for the Rossport 5. The might apologise but they would be free to block Shell's pipeline construction in the future and it's hard to see the state locking them up a second time if they did.
At last Mr. Rabbitte speaks. I almost forgot he existed. It is entirely unfair that he pushes responsibility on the Rossport 5 to apologise.
They didn't breach an injunction as the injunction was flawed and therefore nul and void.
Labour members and activists must surely be dismayed by their leaders attempts at diplomacy.
Well, "apologising to the Court" and "purging your contempt" are two entirely different things. If I was in the mens situation, I would be prepared to apologise for HAVING to put myself in contempt of Court, but I would not be purging my contempt! I don't know why people expect any different from Pat Rabbitte, he's just doing what the rest of them are doing, playing party politics with the issue, talking in circles as usual.
In response to Mr. Rabbittee's suggestion that the Rossport 5 should apologise to the courts:
''It is entirely unfair to put any burden of responsibility on the 5 men. The solution to this crisis lies squarely with Shell and their government partners. The injunction must be dropped so dialogue can begin.''
In response to Mr. Rabbittee's suggestion that a mediator should be appointed by the government:
''The government are not neutral in this matter but are an active partner of Shell. Because of this the Irish government have disqualified themselves to appoint any mediator. To act neutrally or against it's own citizens goes against the primary duty of protection expected of any sovereign government. A small village in Ireland should never have been forced into a confrontation with a huge multinational corporate alliance such as Shell, Marathon and Statoil. It is time for the Irish government to redeem themselves by taking whatever actions are necessary to end the imprisonment of it's citizens and fulfil it's obligation of protection''.
For Comment or verification call Dr. Mark Garavan Spokesman ''Shell to Sea''
Can someone please explain why the injunction is flawed?
You have not been paying attention, Bill. Now if you would care to read the various articles on this site about this dispute, you would not need to ask questions. The information has been published already.
