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.

Britain Needs a New Backbone Tue Oct 07, 2025 09:00 | Clive Pinder
When 60% of British 18-24s tell a pollster that "Israel treats Palestinians the way the Nazis treated the Jews", it's a red flag, says Clive Pinder. The UK needs a new backbone ? and a government not in hock to Muslims.

The Tories Need to Renounce Their Climate Authoritarian Past Tue Oct 07, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
"There?s no point arguing about it, the decision has been made," said one senior Tory in 2020 about the party's commitment to Net Zero. It's this attitude that got us in this mess, says Ben Pile, and it needs to change.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Cheers for that! Just a few things that popped up on the idiot box tonight that really highlight (without sensationalising) the effects the English have suffered and what us thick Paddies may have failed to pick up on..
BBC Four has a television series on now showing explores the non-unionised workforce and the cuts in health in safety called 'Crude Britannia: The Story of North Sea Oil' http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00lbnyn it finishes with the dramatic footage of the Piper Alpha explosions in which 112 died.
Up until 1979 the UK allowed oil explorations to the tax free Tony Benn's state owned oil jackpot enacted in 1975 which was then subject to Thather's 'free market revolution'; when with the other more heinous actions of 1981 it was repealed. If you watch what the ol' bitch says she states the value of the reserves and goes on to repeat 'got the billion?' (sound familiar?)
From 1974 some archival footage from Panorama on 'Scotland's defiant stance'; http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_812...4.stm in 2009 some 'ten years on from devolution, with the Scottish Nationalists in power at Holyrood pushing for a referendum on full independence, Panorama asks, can the UK be kept in one piece?
In Will the Scots ever be happy?, BBC Scotland's political editor, Brian Taylor, revisits the economics and the politics of devolution and speaks to a handful of key people who could hold Scotland's fate in their hands.' http://news.bbc.co.uk/panorama/hi/front_page/newsid_811...4.stm
On RTÉ see TCD biochemistry graduate, Liz Bonnin, in an apologia for the nuclear lobbyists waiting in the wings to turn our little isle an unhealthy green.. http://www.rte.ie/tv/sciencefriction/ it does highlight the protest activity that took place here in the late seventies it suggests that it was the Three Islands which is said to have stifled the debate then and now Liz 'meets the people who passionately believe that Chernobyl and Sellafield are all the reasons we need to stay non-nuclear'.
Hope this helps broaden it a bit. I remember looking for a start on the Aussie North West shelf perhaps it may also prove to be a useful area for comparison http://www.hydrocarbons-technology.com/projects/northwe...helf/
There is so much that we do not know about this whole rotten buisness. Eamon Ryan has signed an agreement with Britain to share our Oil and gas resourses.
Friends of Fianna Fail and oposition td's also will have shares in Shell and other oil companies
The Green ministers are just as corrupt as Fianna Fail. They are now wedded to them because they know that their betrayal of the people that voted for the Green Party , leaves them ruined in the next election. They have to do what Fianna Fail wants them to.
The government does not care about EU or UN fines it is not them that will pay them, it is the Tax payer and the stupid electorate that have let crime flourish in Irish politics for decades.
THIS IS A CORRUPT STATE HUMAN OR CIVIL RIGHTS ARE NON EXISTANT IN IRELAND THE LAND OF THE GREAT PRETENDERS.
VOTE NO TO LISBON They will not pay for their crimes but you will.
Thanks for all the links, I'm sure someone with time on their hands would be grateful for all that, but calling Irish people "thick Paddies"?
Not appreciated.
