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.

to the idiot, above...
listen and educate yourself
It could be said that Caoimhe tolerated Marian Finucane's idiot radio style very well, and also her arrogance in constantly speaking over her guest and aggressively pushing her own viewpoint (or the stations agenda?)
The link above will expire in a week, so I may post this part of the programme later. The section with Caoimhe starts at around 1 minute 13.
In this programme, Richard Crowley says:
"the young irish woman who stayed in the camp during the fiercest of fighting doing what she could to prevent the deaths of palestinian women and children has established ireland here as a country which cared when the world stood idly by"
i'm glad i am not in ireland right now having to listen to such utter bollox every time i go into a shop or anywhere where people listen to rte radio's brainwashed presenters, idiots like Marian Finucane who's egos have been so inflated by the power of rte's monopoly that they cannot see their own ignorance.

sounds like she has a buidéal under the desk with her.
because the interviewee is too given to waffling on without giving anything resembling an answer. Marion keeps asking "but what would you do if you were President Bush" eventually eliciting the response "I don't know what I would do".
Always the same story, plenty of whining but no ideas, nothing constructive to add.
A waste of good online time.
Caoimhe interupts Finucane?! That's a bit rich.
Finucane interupts and interupts and goes on and on - making the same mistake of connecting Iraq to Sept 11th again and again - asking if Caoimhe 'set herself up to be shot in jenin', an absurd and insulting question - Finucane constantly associates all terrorism in the middle east with causes and issues that do not connect.
It is obvious that Finucane is clueless and beyond her depth in interviewing someone as smart and balanced as Caoimhe.
Went to Caoimhe's talk in Cork. Great turnout (especially considering the blasting sunshine outside) and great discussion. Inspiring. Well done Caoimhe!
In response to ABC, the question was an interruption in itself.
As she reveals at the end of the interview, M. Finucane is convinced that Caoimhe is "clearly [...] off the richter scale anti-american" and tries to make out that she has no sympathy for the "americans" over 9/11.
As Caoimhe is explaining her objection to the use of 9/11 as an excuse to take more life, finucane interrupts with “yeah”, and if you listen, note the condescending tone of that “yeah”, which is then followed by some ridiculous rant about self-defence. So finucane obviously has no idea of the history of united states aggression or the reasons why the twin-towers were attacked (assuming for the purpose of this discussion, that the attack was external).
Caoimhe on the other hand was still attempting to answer the previous question "How did the middle east enter your life?" explaing that the reason she went to iraq was to find out more about the ‘why’, when the final interuption of this part takes place, which I outline below:
Caoimhe was explaining the fact that in Palestine and Iraq, people are able to differentiate between the policies of the government of a country and the people of those countries.
Finucane tosses this away, because she wants to push her Caoimhe is an anti-american lunatic viewpoint, which obviously throws Caoimhe a bit.
She tries to recover and respond, but is interrupted again with (and these quotes are here for a reason) “like what would you do supposing you were because I don’t know what I would do I mean I’m not asking this to so if you were president bush…. and…. the twin towers happened on your watch.. your.. your.. you’re supposed to be minding the american people. What would you do?”
Caoimhe responds “I don’t think that the response…I don’t know what I would do to be quite honest. I don’t think the response to September 11th…….” Thus answering this ridiculous “question” within 3 seconds of having been asked.
Sure, it wasn’t a great answer, and she could have used the opportunity better, but nobody’s perfect and I imagine at this point she was probably tiring of finucane's nonsense, and trying to maintain the thread of the previous question in her head, yet from this point she tolerates another 11 minutes, including finucanes throwing away the sanctions against Iraq as “a whole other story” because she realised while speaking that she hadn’t done her homework, and also her incorrect references to Arafat’s Hamas group.
Which is what I was saying in the first place, that Caoimhe tolerated really well finucane’s arrogance and ignorance. She could have really taken her apart.

As for me, I’m feeling a bit nauseous now from listening to finucane so much. cya.
Don't worry..............next time we won't miss.
