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 >>

Anti-war hangover in Dublin - reports and images from yesterday's march.

 Sunday March 19, 2006 15:00 by the way, i'm hungry.
Anti-war march on O'Connell Bridge
Most of the population would have been getting out of bed this morning
with a raging hangover. Mid afternoon people would be wiping the crust
from their eyes, and making their way into town for a fry up, trying to
recollect all the hazy memories of the night before, when the crowds were
out and everyone was fired up with enthusiasm.
Thus I couldnt help but think that this day was very fitting for the
anti-war march in Dublin. Approximately eight hundred people marched from
the Garden of Remembrance to the end of Grafton Street, stopping briefly
on O'Connell Bridge for a barely-registered two minute silence, then looped
around back to the GPO. At the start of the rally where people assembled
for speeches, there were numerous references made to three years ago where
100,000 people marched in town. This march today just seemed like a bad
hangover for the Irish anti-war movement (no capitals). Hazy memories
of when the crowds were out and everyone was fired up with enthusiasm,
now long lost to the mists of time. People give out about marching and saying that direct action is a better
way to get results. I think marches are important now and again but they
have to be happening in a continuum of other actions. People were paying
attention on the streets today, stopping to watch and listen, curious
and perhaps secretly hoping for some disorder like last month; but marching
around town on a Saturday once a year is simply not enough. Even the choice
of the location for the end of the march has never varied much, either
the GPO or Merrion Square. Top Oil, the company involved in refuelling
the planes in Shannon, run a station on Amiens Street. This could easily
be the finishing point for speeches - thus having your rally -and- shutting
down a business profiting from war. Alas, this never happens. The level
of adventurous thinking by the groups involved in antiwar activities seems
to be very low.
There was a small red and black bloc of about 60 who branched off at
the bottom of Grafton Street, up towards the Dáil and then the
Department of Justice on Stephens Green. I dont know if anything happened
with this or not, but even when they split off, I just felt there was
something... inevitable or predictable about the way it happened. The
stewards freaked out for a minute, and the rest of the crowd were briefly
confused about what way to go or what was going on, but then just rejoined
the larger section and marched on. Nobody seemed really interested in
why the bloc was splitting off, what they were doing, or possibly even
joining them.
I remember once at some meeting or other about three years ago, someone
made a point about how the antiwar movement needed victories. There havent
been any at all... and I guess this is demoralising. When it emerged late
last year that the CIA had used Shannon as a stopover for the torture
express, this was met with a deafening silence. Nobody seems to have any
ideas on how to re-energise it or re-invent it as a cause to get angry
about, so perhaps the State has won. Today's march will ultimately be
forgotten and ignored by those in power... other methods and opportunities
of putting the spotlight back on the State's complicity in the "War
on Terror" must be explored, otherwise antiwar activities in Ireland
are doomed to failure and ever-decreasing support...
