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 UN?s Contempt for Democracy Mon Nov 17, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile

Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1Is it common practise for ARAN to try and screw up peoples' computers by filling them with 74 email Viruses? I would appreciate it if you would stop sending viruses to me. This may be an ARAN (or a PETA, the "animal welfare group" who give awards to Rentakil for rodent traps. And who don't hold a no-kill policy for rescued animals) way of targetting other Animal Rights groups or activists. But no genuine Animal Rights group or Animal Rights activist would stoop this low.
Whatever happened to ARANs Glaxo demo at 4pm on Sun 14th May at 4pm? I arrived at glaxo in rathfarnham at 4 and there were a few people there and no John? Then I find out on his website that the demo actually took place on Sunday morning. I didnt receive an email from his list to say it had been changed or cancelled. I wasnt impressed either!!
I'm not Mark. just someone who wanted to publicise his meeting but I'll pass on your comment. According to mark, the group is very peaceful in approach, persuasion by education. I hope this is compatible with your own philosophy john. wasn't aware there was any co-operation as yet. with ARAN so your comment is somewhat misleading I think. This is just my own opinion and i'm sure you and Mark can talk about co-operating in the future, if there are no obstacles.
BTW whatever happened about the ARAN meeting in jurys galway a few weeks ago? I waited for over half an hour having cancelled an engagement only to find out very indirectly that actually there was no meeting after all. not even a message at the desk. Wasn't impressed!!
WOO HOO!!! well done mark we are so glad that there is a new animal rights group here in Ireland, the more the merrier and we are soooooooooooooooooooooo proud to be working with and supporting HAAS!
Talk soon mate
Slight mix up on what time this meeting is starting at.
It's actually 8pm in the Victoria. Apologies for any inconvenience
