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.

I'd like to now whats going on over there. Can anyone comment?
RTE now reporting it as 10 people arrested out of 80 at the protest, and that a file is being sent to the DPP.
Unfortunatly i don't have any real information. I marched with the catholic workers from the garda blockade to the town center. (mainly because i couldn't find the SOS site due to the road block) i then marched back to the blockade with the "Anti war movement" and some others looking for the SOS people. Food not Bombs set up their kitchen in front of the Barricades and for maybe 20 minutes everybody stood (and sat) in front of the gardai makin noise, banging drums and blowing whistles, that kinda thing. After a while people started to suggest that everybody move to occupy a roundabout back at the town center. I decided to remain at the garda blockade where food not bombs stayed as well as around 20 other activists. The purpose of this was to keep the road closed in order to disrupt the activities of the airport.
Unfortunatly nothing much happened for the 3 hours i remained there, there were some reports coming back of arrests elsewhere but i still know very little about them. I tried to find them after i left the blockade but i failed.
You don't know what happened coz you're an ignorant c**t who doesn't know the diff between Cork Anti-War Campaign and IAWM or maybe you're just a cynical prick. Ten arrested including Nuria Mustafa, Cork, Galway and Dub heads, and two minors. Arrests resulted from a sit-down blockade on a roundabout while you were scratching your cynical ass somewhere else.
I didn't realise i had insulted anyone. There were anti war movement people there, a big banner from the kildare branch a few swp flags and a hammer and sickle. These are some of the people that the IAWM claim to represent. If you're upset because i didn't give proper credit to the "organisers" of the demonstration then you have your priorities messed up.
And I don't see why you're so pissed off at me for staying to babysit the riot police attack dogs and uniformed gardai? It was a decision some people made. a part of the reason behind it was the food not bombs people had already set up and it would have been difficult for them to move operations again and inconsiderate to leave them alone.
so what happened with sos? did anykone find it?
I expected the camp to be near where the old peace camp was but it was blocked off by the gardai so that really confused everybody and it was hard to find out what was happening. Some people i talked to who intended camp overnight had put their bags in the van carrying the PA system for one of the marches so they kinda had to follow it.
It was a bit confused overall. Hopefully some lessons can be learned to help co-ordinate things like these a little better in future. At around a half two when the catholic workers march left the town center for limerick and the cork anti war campaign headed towards the airport there was nobody to speak on behalf of the SOS so i think it all just merged into the CAWC event... or something.
Glad you made it to Shannon, David. Please ignore ignorant 'Cork head' above. SOS was meant to happen on the site of the old Peace Camp but couldn't because of the Garda blockade. Also, Nico (the main organiser) left for Canada the day before. Don't know the full story there - something to do with a cheap flight. Nonetheless, some who travelled for SOS came down to Cork and I understand that SOS (renamed SOC) was reconvened at the CAZ in Knapp's Square. Had to go home to bed myself (after a few pints) but I'm sure it went well.
Gee it's sad that the head of C.A.W.C. has nothing better to do with his time than spread gossip on the internet. and can't even get his facts straight at that. one can understand why nico might have headed for canada if this is the kind of solidarity an activist can expect in cork.
sad.

What gossip? Get real anarkitty - there's no untruth being spoken...
Seems fintan's comments on SOS are very positive so can't see Anarkitty's point. Well done to all involved with SOS and other anti-war actions!! Keep it up.
