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 8 9 10 11 12I would bet money that the majority of the people of Salthill are more then happy to see these defenders of the peace, at this now famous Airshow.
The RAF aircrafts and their dedicated crews, are particularly welcome as they carry on an honourable progression from those people and aircrafts in the early '40's who made sure that none of us would be forced to learn German.
Was haben Sie gegen Deutsch?
I wonder if there were Mig-23s (Russian) and Mirage F-1s (French) of the Iraqi Air Force appearing would these moaners have a problem?
The Jaguar is no longer deployed in Iraq: http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/deplex.html#iraq.
The Jaguar was one of main enforcers of the peace in the former Yugoslavia:
http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Bosnia/bosnia-units.html#raf . Many people were delighted to see those aircraft.
Similarly, the Tornados have not been used in anger in Iraq other than against military targets while Saddam was in power. Far from the indiscriminate use of cluster bombs, it fact the deployment was the first time that Tornados used Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles.
It strikes me that the only people politicizing the airshow are the usual suspects. It's because of planes like these that many people are free..
I attended a similar action two years ago at Salthill and it just so happened to be the same day as the Galway versus Mayo Connacht Final.
Thus there was over 100,000 people in Salthill that day.
The protest numbered about 100 people and as we marched along the promenade beneath the scream of jet engines the abuse we received from the folk lining the streets was incredible and sad.
This airshow celebrates military might and ruthless agression and normailises it to many of the young in attendance.
One particular Father told us to :shut the fuck up" and to "stop ruining his fucking kid's day" as his young son say atop his shoulders.
Some of these aircraft are returning from active duty where they have slaughtered hundreds of innocent men.women and children,not unlike those who lined the streets with such insults that day.
Good luck to the protesters and the action and I hope to see you all afterwards at Gleneagles.

If you'd bothered to look up the website for the airshow (http://www.salthillairshow.com/), you'd see that the Tornado version is the F.3 - an air defence version that never dropped bombs on anyone. It also never shot anything down in any conmflict with Iraq, so claims that it killed Iraqis are incorrect. Same for the Jaguar - not currently deployed in Iraq. Like the other stupid posting on this site about killer ships in Cork (Pakistan in Nato?), the accuracy and claims made by the "usual suspects" is a mile wide of the mark.
The Torndao F3 helped defend the West againt Soviet attack during the Cold War, and Irish people should be grateful for the freedoms that they now enjoy. And judging by the vote in accepting former Soviet satellites into the EU, they are. Of course, there are those who would have gladly seen Backfire bombers from the Soviet Navy in action in the Irish Sea, but then, there are fools everywhere.
Even if these aircraft were deployed to Iraq, I fail to see the problem with watching these wonderful aircraft at an Irish airshow. Please don't ruin this air show for families and children with your politics, shouting and your pictures of Iraqi dead. We all know you lot, the Ed Horgans of this world, are a sad group, and have a hidden agenda anyway (anti-US, anti-British). I suppose you would want to ban Airfix models of the Tornado and Jaguar next...
"Peole die from drink related problems bet your not calling for drink or cannabis to be banned at the air show."
Nearly thinking of going now. Didn't know you could get cannabis at the air show. Hope its good shit, man.

Here is a great picture from last years airshow - fair play...here's hoping for more of the same this year.
"RAF joins US forces in Iraq assault" - Guardian 20th June 2005 - page 15.
And guess what those gentlemen from the RAF are flying - TORNADOS. The whole point of flying warplanes at these air shows is to sanitise and glorify these killing machines.
it's alright, there will be plenty of the sound of freedom, the smell of JP, and the sight of beautiful aircrafts over Salthill.
We will not need you clowns with your stupid 'die in' forceing your kids to fall on the ground as unarmed and unarmable aircrafts of the Red Arrows pass overhead.
But I will laugh if I see you gobshites go thru' your silly act.
But if a 100,000 people say 'sod off', I would leave if I were you.
If you'd bothered to read the report closely, you'd have discovered that the Tornados in this question wer Gr4's - and not the F3s appearing at Galway. Plus, they didn't shoot anyone...
The Tornados, armed with the RAF's latest Storm Shadow cruise missiles, flew several sorties from their base in the Gulf to provide close air support but did not bomb any targets, according to Wing Commander Gerard Bland, a spokesman for British military forces in Iraq. "They fired nothing," he said.
Neither the Jaguar nor the Tornado are symbols of British military might as claimed. The Jaguar is an Anglo-French aircraft, and the Tornado is tri-national - Italy, German and British origin.
why are ye doing this ye are ruining peoples hobbies grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
