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.

"Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience ... Therefore [individual citizens] have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring."
To issue condemnations.Wonder why they were so silent when thje comrades were flying thru Shannon on their way to massacare hundreds of thousands of innocent somalis,mozambaquins and other African women and childre.Oh wait wasnt Moscow supporting them back in the 70s and 80s?
ive said this before and to iawm there not clear enough on saying all foreign military out of shannon rather then just us military...
Yet still strangely silent regarding the serious security breach by the Non Violent Pacifist Shannon Banshees.
firtst off: The IAWM would be wrong to call for foreign troops out of Shannon. What happens if in a years time the US invades Venezeula and a hypothetical army goes to militarily defend the Venezuelan people? i would fully support this army and call for Shannon to be used for this purpose. The IAWM are right to call for US military out of Shannon and should also call for all armies of capitalism out of Shannon.
As for Labour. they are hypocrites. They want to go into government with Fine Gael, who support ireland joining NATO. If Labour are elected the US use of Shannon will continue and probably get worse. They are also hypocrites as on March 1st 2003 they teamed up with the capitalist press, boycotted the protests there and added substantially to the scare tactics employed by the ruling class.
"What happens if in a years time the US invades Venezeula and a hypothetical army goes to militarily defend the Venezuelan people?" The army won't need to use Shannon - flying pigs have the range to take off from Dublin airport.
the point I'm making is that calling for foreign troops out of Shannon is a nationalistic. I don't want Shannon to be used by any capitalist army, US or Irish.
A call for 'Capitalist troops out of Shannon' would be laughed at, and a call for 'Irish troops out of Shannon' would get some pretty weird looks.
God knows I'm critical enough of the IAWM, but I don't think they can really be criticised for campaigning about _this_ war in particular, rather than the evils of capitalism and any wars it may engage in in the future.
I am criticising the suggestion for a demand of 'foreign troops out of Shannon' not the IAWM campaigning against just the war.
What do people think about the SWP's latest attempt to resussitate the anti war movement? They have protests planned all over the shop and have public meetings in every college and in every town. all reports so far are that there is not a mood yet, and only SWPers are at the meetings/protests.
This comes from the group who were chanting at Shannon:
US - out-out-out
UN - in-in-in
Now tell me, which organisation was responsible for the death of tens of thousands through their sanctions policy.
Minister for Defence Willie O'Dea has reiterated the Government's commitment to military neutrality.
Shannon Airport is a civilian airport in a town with barely the capacity to put out a factory fire. That is, to put out a fire where firefighters already know what they're walking into. Tim Hourigan and Ed Horgan, attended "public" (they were soon asked to leave) meetings about safety issues in Shannon 2002. People in the Shannon area deserve jobs that don't cost other people their lives, and that don't risk their own lives and the safety of their homes and families nearby.
We need to withdraw our consent from Bush's "war and terror" campaign. It's most obvious manifestation is the military use of Shannon Airport and Irish airspace. The Phoenix reported in 2001, 2002 and 2003 that Ireland parroted the Washington line on Afghanistan and Iraq in EU meetings too. Changing that will take longer of course. We've got to work where we are, and at what we're good at.
The use of any airport or other facility to aid and abet the transfer of U.S. troops and/or prisoners makes that facility a legitimate military target in the War On (imperialist) Terror.
The American observer is quite right unfortunately. Remember Spain only had 600 troops in Iraq along with a massive and vocal anti-war movement.. Once Fallujah has been annihilated Muslim anger will quite understandably be at boiling point.
This countries cosy little relationship with Britain and the US could prove very costly indeed. Simply put the Irish state is actively collaborating in the massacre of Arab civlians, the seizure of Arab lands and wealth and the destruction of their towns and families. If that doesnt make Ireland a legitimate target I dont know what will. I honestly hope we arent but.....
