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: 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Further to my earlier post about John Gormley posters, he was on the Pat Kenny Show this morning and claimed that his posters have been defaced all over the constituency by supporters of St Luke's Cancer Hospital .
Since when did 'defacing' mean placing a small and TRUE statement (= I voted to close St Luke's hospital) on the blank space of a poster?
In his election literature he does not mention St Luke's at all. Surely his constituents have a right to know that he voted to close it though he was on record as wanting to save it from Minister Harney.
His statement is very unfair to the many supporters of St Luke's. My sister was a patient there. We need St Luke's - replacing it with an ugly outpatient centre at James's that doesn't even have catering for patients does nothing for cancer patients.
Gormley should read the Luke's Campaign book - Cancer in a Cold Climate: the shafting of St Luke's hospital and be very very ashamed.

..they just gatecrashed the wrong party.
I might send them registration forms for mine. After all, they opposed military use of Shannon, til they got embedded on the payroll. They opposed the Shell-sell-out, till they got inside the centrally heated tent. And as the emigration figures climb and their heads go further up their arses in direct proportion, Gormley was making Valentine-eyes at Edna in the grate de-bait last night. Not sure if he just wants a civic relationship or the full nuptials. For an environmentalist party you might have expected them to keep one fucking toe in touch with the planet the rest of us have to inhabit.
As Lemass is reputed to have remarked about the opposition at some stage, ' A harmless bunch of gentlemen..'.
If only.
I've noticed stickers on John Gormley and Chris Andrews posters saying 'I voted to close St Luke's Hospital'.
This is the truth and oddly these two don't mention voting to close St Luke's Cancer Hospital in their newsletters detailing what they have done for you....
They are taking the stickers down even though they are put in blank space and not covering up the candidate's picture. But some are being replaced.
The Greens officially support freedom of information and have made noises about strengthening the FOI Act - but clearly when they do a dirty deed like voting to close a wonderful hospital, a success story of our public health service, and ignoring many representations from patients and their families, then FOI does not apply!
...and if anyone spots another within reach, I suggest
Vote for me, I robbed the blind.
That should cover just about the full shower that nodded the finance fix through.
Kenny now wants to hit the Fed for another 50bn. Guess where that will go. FG gave up yesterday when I asked the canvassing daughter(no doubt aiming at daddy's seat for a later score)would daddy work for the average wage. Impolite.
Hi Opus !
This bus-shelter advertisement for Paul Gogarty , in the Cherrywood area of Clondalkin , was 'adjusted' by persons unknown to give a more accurate picture of Mr Gogarty's 'achievements' :
Thanks!
Sharon.
"....and , if re-elected , I promise to do the same again..."
A little structural adjustment beats vandalising the posters.
Use THEIR resources to deliver YOUR disgust. Hit them all. Sometimes a little editing can tweak their print.
e.g. twitter.com can be reduced to just plain twit, 'honest' is very easily translated into 'hoi st' with a brushstroke and dot over the first upright of 'n'.
Get yer markers and spraycans out. And dont stop after the election. Hit every billboard or ad you find offensive.
Prizes for creative effort.(thats just an election promise).
