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.

An evenings discussion hosted by PANA
James Connolly ‘President of the Irish Neutrality League’
Thursday 27th of April at 7.30pm
Liberty Hall Dublin
With:
Aindrias O'Cathasaigh Author & Activist
Manus O'Riordan Head of Research SIPTU
Media Contact:
Roger Cole Chair of Peace & Neutrality Alliance (PANA) 0872611597
Statement:
After the 2nd Treaty of Nice Referendum the Irish government made a Declaration on Neutrality which was central to the Yes campaign. Another major concession was the addition of a clause to the Irish Constitution, which ensured that Ireland would not join a EU, based mutual defense pact without a referendum.
The Irish people have had a strong history of fighting imperialism whilst defending democracy & neutrality, as has been again brought to the fore during the current 90th anniversary of the 1916 Rising celebrations.
James Connolly founded the Irish Neutrality League in 1914 and in 1916 as a commander of the Irish Citizen Army sought to break the link with the British Union and establish an Independent Irish Republic. Connolly is a symbol of the unbreakable link between Republicanism, Irish Democracy, Irish Neutrality and the ordinary people of Ireland.
Despite what was fought & won so many years ago we as a nation find ourselves in the most precarious of situations. The state is celebrating the values of 1916 whilst acting against those very ideals by their current decision making with regard to the US.
From January to March of this year 116,450 US troops have passed through Shannon Airport. In 2004 the figure was 121,943, by the end of 2005 the numbers more than doubled to 330,000. This years we may see just under half million troops go through the airport.
The European Parliament committee investigating CIA activities in Europe continues to investigate the charges of rendition flights & illegal torture/holding centers. Yet the Irish Government continues to renege on its duty to democracy by refusing to search all CIA aircrafts using Irish air space.
Despite the deaths of more than 3,000 Palestinians since the second intifada began in September 2000, compared to some 1,000 Israelis, the Irish Government has supported a decision of the EU Parliament to half the aid provided to the people of Palestine. They have opted to support the US administrations historically questionable foreign policies rather than to respect the Palestinian democratic process.
The Government appears to whole heartedly support US imperialism but ignore the hard won values of democracy, neutrality & freedom fought for by Connolly, the INL & the 1916 Rising. So at this time perhaps it is worth remembering the following. When the INL was founded it only had the support of around 5 to 10% of the adult population. But by 1918 they had formed an alliance that replaced the Home Rule Party which had dominated Irish politics for decades.
As our country’s history has become even more relevant in today’s world Thursday nights’ discussion with Aindrias & Manus promises to be a lively & timely event.
