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. The Saker >>

Naimhdeas úr á chothú ag na haontachtaithe

Wednesday July 02, 2008 01:46 by Robert McMillen - Irish News i mBéal Feirste

Tráth den saol ba ar na poblachtánaigh amháin a bhí an ghráin dhearg ag na haontachtaithe. Ach anois, mar a mhíníonn Robert McMillen, tá siad ag tabhairt faoi naimhde úra – an pobal aerach, lucht na heolaíochta agus lucht labhartha na Gaeilge ina measc. Más ag dul Back to the Future a bhí á thriail sa tsraith rathúil scannán ó na hochtóidí, Forward to the Past a d’fheadfaí a thabhairt ar straitéis an DUP in Stormont.
Níorbh fhéidir éisteacht le baill shinsearacha an pháirtí an mhí seo caite gan a) titim thart ag gáire, b) a bheith ar crith le heagla nó c) fearg an domhain a bheith ort. Glacaimis ráiteas míchlúiteach Iris Robinson mar thús, ráiteas a bhí chomh conspóideach sin gur chuir nuacht Channel 4 suim ann!
Tá Iris in éadan an homaighnéasachais mar gur léigh sí i leabhar gur chóir di a bheith ina éadan. "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination," arsa Leviticus 18:22 sa leabhar seo a gcreideann na milliúin ann, An Bíobla Naofa. Chan amháin go bhfuair sí a dearcadh ón leabhar seo, ach chuir Dia féin cogar i gcluas Iris. "Just as a murderer can be redeemed by the blood of Christ, so can a homosexual - and if anyone takes issue, they're taking issue with the Word of God," arsa Iris chóir. Mura ndéanfadh Dia an gnó, bhí aithne aici ar shíceolaí a dhéanfadh an beart.
Ar ndóigh, ní hí Iris amháin atá den tuairim láidir gur féidir daoine a spreagadh le droim láimhe a thabhairt leis an homaighnéasachas. Tá eagraíocht i Meiriceá ar a dtugtar NARTH (National Association for Research and Treatment of Homosexuality) a mhaíonn go bhfuil cóir leighis ann dó.
Tá nasc suntasach idir iad siúd a chreideann gur féidir cosc a chur leis an homaighnéasachas agus an creideamh. Iompaíonn go leor daoine i gcoinne an tsaoil aeraigh ar chúiseanna creidimh, a mhaíonn daoine áirithe. Ach déarfadh formhór na ndaoine aeracha nach rogha stíle maireachtála é a gclaonadh gnéasach.
Tá sé de cheart ag Iris Robinson – agus ar dhóigh amháin, tá sí le moladh mar gur thosaigh sí díospóireacht ar an cheist – a tuairimí pearsanta a bheith aici. Ach níl sé de cheart ag feisirí tofa a bheith ag cur daoine aeracha i gcomparáid le dúnmharfóirí.
Ag caint i Westminster ar bhille Briotanach dar teideal “The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill”, dúirt sí go raibh sí ag caint thar ceann na ndaoine a chuireann a muinín in "údarás níos airde."
Bhí seanmhana ag aontachtaithe a dúirt gurbh ionann Home Rule agus Rome Rule, is é sin, go mba dhrochrud é an córas rialtais a bheadh bunaithe ar chreideamh. Ach is léir go bhfuil an DUP ag iarraidh dialathas a chur i bhfeidhm ó thuaidh. Ní dhéanfar dearmad ar an uair a bhí Edwin Poots ar an raidió ag caint ar éabhlóid le Matthew Parris, iar-theachta parlaiminte i Westminster. Dúirt Edwin go raibh an domhan 4,000 bliain d'aois agus gur chreid sé sa chruthaíochtachas agus sa cheapadh meabhrach.
"Nutter" a thug Parris go hindíreach ar Edwin cóir.
Cúrsaí comhshaoil
Ag fanacht le cúrsaí timpeallachta, tá Sammy Wilson anois ina Aire Comhshaoil. Osna! Creideann Sammy nach n-imríonn CO2 tionchar rómhór ar an chomhshaol – agus mar sin, nár cheart dúinn béim a leagan air – agus gur miotas atá sa téamh domhanda; gur rud timthriallach é. Luann sé "iliomad oighearaoiseanna" ach tháinig deireadh leis an cheann deireanach 11,000 bliain ó shin. Ni féidir leis sin a bheith fíor mura bhfuil an domhan ach 4,000 bliain d'aois! Múinteoir scoile a bhí in Sammy sula bhfuair sé smacht ar chomhshaol na Sé Chontae ach tá sé ar nós na ndaltaí sin a dhéanann iarracht a chruthú go bhfuil siad níos cliste ná an múinteoir.
Ó aire comhshaoil a chreideann go bhfuil an comhshaol slán go haire cultúir atá in éadan an chultúir!
Tá Edwin díbeartha anois as an Fheidhmeannas agus Gregory Campbell tagtha ina áit. Bí ag caint ar shionnach a bheith i bhfeighil na gcearc! Agus é ag caint ar Acht na Gaeilge, dúirt Gregory: "It is a no-brainer. It is my view that the party will not introduce or allow this."
Osna eile.
Bíonn aontachtaithe ag caint ar pholaitíocht na teanga amhail is gur cuireadh tús léi le teacht an IRA. Bhí an Ghaeilge ina "liathróid pholaitiúil" chomh fada siad leis an bhliain 1366, aimsir Reachtanna Chill Chainnigh. Nuair a thagtaí ar Shasanaigh nó
Creideann Edwin Poots sa chruthaíochtachas
ar Éireannaigh a raibh cónaí orthu i measc na Sasanach agus an Ghaeilge a á labhairt acu, bhaintí an talamh díobh agus chuirtí i bpríosún iad go dtí go n-íocadh siad fíneáil agus go ngealladh siad go labhródh siad Béarla.
Is iomaí tagairt do mheon an léigir i measc na n-aontachtaithe agus, le teacht na síochána, in áit an chaint seo a bheith ag dul i léig, tá sí le cloisteáil ar bhonn níos forleithne. Roimhe seo, ní raibh ann ach poblachtánaigh uafásacha. Anois, is iad na naimhde atá á n-ionsaí acu ná lucht an chomhshaoil, na heolaithe agus lucht labhartha na Gaeilge.
Sin an fáth a mbíonn siad ag tógáil ballaí thart timpeall orthu féin in áit dul i mbun díospóireachta le daoine nach n-aontaíonn leo, ach a bhíonn sásta géilleadh dóibh in amanna. Ach cad é chomh slán is atá sochaí ina bhfuil daoine ar nós Iris Robinson, Sammy Wilson, Edwin Poots agus Gregory Campbell i gcuid é na poist is tábhachtaí?
