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: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8As most of the attacks seem to be coming from unionist / loyalist paramilitaries or their hangers on it's difficult to see what Sinn Fein can do about them. Fair play to them for trying though.
I am not from Belfast but I think that SF could do something practical to help the people being attacked. They could put pressure on the Housing executive to facilitate the transfer of victims from the areas they live in to safer areas as they have done in the past with both catholics and protestants (but in most cases catholics).
that's great that SF are up for justice even now that they're the government. can't beat a good community meeting! wouldn't we be proud if they'd make the same concerned faces about the queers whose rights they trample every time they show up for the NYC st. patrick's day parade to march with bigots and collect fat checks from the rich, institutionalized party faithful in america who wouldn't know socialism if it smacked them in the face. and it should.
you're just stupid. Case you havent noticed, SF are not in Government. They have nothing to do with the Patricks Day parade in NYC. And they were the only party on Belfast City Council to defend gays against loyalist bigots.
And SF are not honoring it. There is also an "alternative," inclusive parade around st. pat's day in Queens which so far SF have not participated in.
I'm a SF supporter, but not an uncritical one. By participating in the AOH-sponsored and exclusive NYC parade in the face of a boycott which is honored by most liberal politicians, SF is giving legitimacy to the ban on gay organizations. If they were to honor the boycott and publicly call for an end to the boycott and attend the Queens parade, that would add to the preassure on the AOH. It might also have some effect on homophobia among SF supporters in Ireland and the US, and might lead to more american leftists supporting SF.
At the very least SF could call for an end to the ban and/or attend the Queens parade.
This is simply the right thing to do. We are talking about bigotry. The AOH is effectively saying, you can't be Irish and gay.
Bernadette Devlin had the integrity to stand up to racist Irish-Americans when she was here from 1969 on, even when she was asking them for money. This situation is no different.
Tom
the aoh are bigots, noquestion about it. sf have a good pro gay record but this puts a stain on it.
Yeah, the Shinners are the best of a bad bunch. Can't say much for their record with the AOH coat trailing excercise in Manhattan (is it just me or does an all-white pro cop homphobic parade come across a bit like an Orange Order parade in Portadown?). I was at the Queens Parade a couple of years back, a real rainbow affair, the way it should be. Later I was at the ILGO picket of the AOH one.
The Féile people in Derry are trying to push a broad, racially diverse, inclusive programme for this year's Patrick's day celebration for which they have an infinitessimally small budget. Does anyone know how we could get in touch with any of the organisers of the Queens parade to encourage them to get funding to come over for the Derry event? It would make good press and seriously undermine the Ancient Oirish Hatemongers claim on Irish authenticity.
In my second paragraph ("I'm a SF supporter") I mean an end to the ban, not the boycott. Probably everyone got that, but just in case I wanted to leave this note.
