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: 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1An Bord Pleanala has given an oral hearing on the rezoning of St Anne's Park. It takes place from Tuesday 26th October at 11 a.m. in the O'Connell Suite of the Royal Dublin Hotel.
Anyone who is concerned about the future preservation of parks and green spaces should try to attend and make their views known.
If you don't, and you suddenly find plans for a sewage treatement works on YOUR football pitch, don't say that you haven't been warned.
some one has to
from the site
"It appears that City Manager John Fitzgerald has already begun building work in Saint Anne's Park on the proposed site for the new waste facility. He claims that it is unrelated and for a different purpose, but he's not fooling anybody."
To get information on the park, look at the Dublin Corporation website.
http://www.dublincity.ie/parks/details.asp?id=101
all councillors voted against the proposal on 5th april
a rare event im told....
county manger continues to ignore commensense
after saying it was probably not going to happen i rememberedthey aleady had palns for it on display in raheny libarary....
that first link don't work
how did your protest go, saw pic in the times
This has to be one of the daftest ideas to coe out of City Hall for years but I don't share the optimism of some that it is too crazy to happen. The risk is real, and major, and as someone said above, if the City's biggest park can be attacked, all green spaces will be under threat. Actually, in a sense this is a second attack, as I understand rezoning of green spaces in Ballymun has already been done.
St. Anne's, with 270 acres of park, is a jewel and in other cities would not just be preserved but grown and invested-in. Rather than worn paths and damaged signage, it would be a feature for visitors. Perched between two settled areas (Raheny and Clontarf) and readily accessible by bus and DART, it, and the nearby Bull Island, shared by the same areas, this is a "lung" essential to a healthy city. Greedy developers have long had their eyes on the greenery but they must be kept at bay for all our sakes.
The argument of "no alternative space" is daft too. There are empty plots in Bayside/ Kilbarrack, Coolock and Santry, at least. In fact, as the commentator above said, the Coolock area, with M1/ M50 links, would be much better. Clontarf and Raheny are off the beaten track.
Time is tight, so get your objections in (see the link in the comment by Mr. Cummins) and if you're in Dublin, put some pressure on those all-too-presistent election candidates.
The website above and the one at (http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/safaripark/eagles/16/stannes/stan001.htm) are good, the one below gives some information too.
This proposed rezoning of St Anne's Park is a massive threat to all green and open spaces.
Basically the City Manager is saying that there are absolutely no industrial sites anywhere in Dublin that could accomodate their planned waste facility.
About 2-3 miles away from the present unlicensed waste facility, is Clonshaugh Industrial estate. There are at least 10 vacant factories there, one of which is the massive Gateway building which has been idle for 3 years.
Why not buy or rent one of those and put the waste facility in a properly zoned industrial area right off the M50/M1. You have the added benefit of having a traffic infastructure in place, rather than bring massive waste traffic volumes into a residential neighbourhood. Renting or buying an already build factory could well be cheaper than building two very substantial waste "factories" in St Anne's Park.
Has the City Manager looked at these options?
If he did the logical thing and went with this option, you wouldn't have to materially contravene the Development Plan, nor then go to An Bord Pleanala to try to get planning permission to industrialise a park that is a designated Conservation Area.
If it goes ahead, then any City or County Manager can do what they like with any green space in a park, or housing estate, or anywhere.
The Minister for the Environment can direct the City Manager to withdraw this proposal, and that's where people need to direct their opposition now. The website below has some sample letters that could be sent.
id like to hear your opinions on this please?
gifted to the people of dublin.
along with the records and the stout and the iveagh houses and jobs and lots of other stuff, how many holes does it take to fill the albert hall? being an oblique reference to one of the Beatles songs the "all you need is love bunch", reflecting on the tragic death of one of that family, many of whom but _not all_ have been victims, like any family really.
look ye here:-

remember you will need to install flash.
also another blast from the past:-
definition and symbology of "interdit".
you have mostly been excomunicated and didn't recognise the traditional symbol.
in all faiths to boot.
didn't see that coming did you?
black ribbons on your cathedral doors?
above the altar?
rabbinical scholars on the street?
no you didn't see it, because you had forgotten. and filled your head with fantasy, monsters, ambition, pride and politicians who's names are those of the demons of old.
find an imam and ask him if you don't have a trustworthy parish priest, oh yes you haven't had trustworthy parish priests for a long time have you?
Boo!

we are set free by truth.
you are imprisoned by lies.
our internet is different to yours.
is opposite the main entrance to Bull Island (ie not the bridge) as you go along the Clontarf Rd. The other side of it is in Raheny. It's about 250-300 acres and is IIRC the largest park in Dublin. Lovely place.
It's on the northside running down near the coast at Fairview. It's pretty big but I don't know the acerage and is famous for its rose garden.
Where is it? How big is the park and how long is it there. Any other info, pics anybody?
