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 6I don't think incompetence is the problem with the govt. Everything they do they do to enrich themselves and their pals .And they seem to be making a good job of it.
Don't think so, unless you are referring to LG and Euro elections. Bertie's boys have a few years left to run yet, more's the pity.
Just imagine the life we would be living if the Left-Wing got into power! We wouldnt be worrying about the futility of Bin-Tax - our whole nation and its economy would just disapear down the drain!! "The Soldiers of Destiny" have brought this country to the forefront of Europe and indeed the world! The left wing in society are nothing! All opposition to Fianna Fail is a joke! Fianna Gael - no longer exist! Fat Rabbitte and his merry bunch of wana-be's are just a pharce and Im not even going to recognise the existence of the greens and the Socialist Workers Party - so sorry to hear about Greece - maybe theres a chance for some progress in that country now!!! So we at Fianna Fail will carry on leading this country indefinately - certainly no pathetic sites such as this one or "protests" where freedom of speech etc is only extended to the Socialist agenda is entertained! You guys make me laugh - cus the longer you are around the longer we in Fianna Fail is going to carry on leading this great country forward! The people spoke two-years ago! The people will speak on June 11th - but the result doesnt matter - cus no matter what you guys arent getting anywhere!!!!
the fact that there are more greens and Shinners in the Dail is indicative of something, and it has nothing to do with getting nowhere. The only way you guys will keep your votes is the fact that you hold the source code for electronic voting. People voted you c*nts in when we were still booming economy wise. That was four years ago- and they say a week is a long time in politics!
Oh, and posting arrogant rants like that will ensure more young people register their vote to get you pricks out.
I'm a benter leftists- I have mixed views, I am not an anti capitalist. So, I will concede FF have done a good job on the economy, but so did the Rainbow coalition when they were in charge. Thats what governments are supposed to do.
I will vote against your party though. Why? Not because I am some stereotype your mates at the Sindo would paint me as; tree hugging hippie with a placard for each day of the week.
No, I'll vote against your stupid party for many reasons. I will vote against your party because of Shannon and the glib bypassing of our constitution.
I'll vote against you because of Charly McCreevy's hacking of the Freedom of Information Act.
Carrickmacross and now Tara-what the fuck is that? Another reason that is what.
Where is our Ombudsman (ie; relating to the Gardai)? You have never yet delivered on that, and I do not believe you will. Reason number 4.
You are not giving us, the voter, any say on E voting. I will have to do my best to try vote against you scumbags on them machines, but I am wary. People from your party are proven liars, I do not trust you, and this is the way I have to cast my vote.
But please walk round public like you are now. Please go up to the poor ares of Ireland, where a great number of people face homelessness because of your cutbacks in social welfare. Tell them they are ALL wasters and scroungers. Hopefuly then you will be murdered. That would be a funny day.
Pat Rabbite had it in one ,when referring to our cute hoors(Fianna Fail) in Leinster House,he declared;'They have bought the people with their own money'
Thanks to the I.D.A. and a boom decade,the country is awash with cash . Stealth Taxes are tolerated,corruption in government is only an expensive side show,and the rich grow fat as pigs for market.
Enjoy ..Bertie, Pee Flynn,Liam,Ray, and all you other single minded avaricious spalpeens in local government...and your mentor Charles J...some day soon you will all answer to a higher Court of Judgement ..than that of the fat cat tribunal circus that is currently bleeding the country dry ...to little or no effect .
FF have turned INCOMPETENCE into a veritable art form, paid billions of Euro into the public service Unions with little or no return (the benchmarking scam) and 'dirtied' any sort of international reputation, the Celtic-Tiger ever gave us, through, never-ending Tribunals that almost promote white and blue collar Crime (Lawlor, Burke, Flynn, Mc Sharry, Etc. Etc.)
The really sad fact about all this is there appears to be no alternative!
