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.

Permission refused for Archbishop Romero Mass
Patsy McGarry, Religious Affairs Correspondent
For the first time in 27 years permission was refused for a Dublin Mass at the weekend in memory of the late Archbishop Oscar Romero, murdered in San Salvador on March 24th, 1980, by security forces because of his outspokenness on behalf of the poor in El Salvador.
For the past 20 years anniversary Masses for the archbishop have taken place at Adam and Eve's Franciscan Church on the city's Merchant's Quay. Prior to that they took place at the Jesuits' St Francis Xavier Church in Gardiner Street.
Brendan Butler, chairman of the El Salvador Support Committee, told The Irish Times last night that their request to hold the Mass at Adam and Eve's, as customary, was refused as a new superior at the church had decided Archbishop Romero's anniversary "was a private devotion and as such no public Masses will be allowed" to honour him.
Mr Butler said he was "totally disgusted with this decision."
Since January last year the Merchant's Quay parish has been run by the Augustinians at nearby Meath Street, but when contacted last night they were unaware of the refusal to permit the Mass this year.
There was no response from the Franciscan's at Adam and Eve's last night.
A spokesman for Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin, who is in Rome for ceremonies commemorating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, was also unaware of and puzzled by the decision to withdraw permission for the Mass.
In 2005, at the end of the Mass in the Merchant's Quay church on April 1st that year held to mark the 25th anniversary of the murder, Dr Martin, the Mass celebrant received news of the death of Pope John Paul.
He immediately told the congregation, which included members of the El Salvador Support Committee and people from Catholic relief agency Trócaire.
An Irish Times a few months ago revealed that the present papal nuncio to Ireland is Salvadoran, was aligned to the junta and continues to be critical of Bishop Romero. Not sur eif this plays a role?

http://www.catholiccommunications.ie/nuncio/index.html
a commentator suggested the present papal nuncio in ireland had emanated
from El Salvador- now unless the official site of the nuncio is sorely mistaken-
1. they do not emanate.
2.they have diplomatic careers (imagine that!)
3.the present P.N came from Iraq via Jordan.
There is so much to learn
for example- Oscar Romero (RIP) was a last minute choice to be archbishop and was
doing a tremendous job, when he was murdered in the cathedral.
There is still no given reason as to why the Adam and Eve's mass
was cancelled for the first time in twenty years in Dublin.
Tge present papal nuncio presented his credentials to Mary Mac Aleese
in 2001 at the Aras.

Actually there is no 'subject', the Last Pope John Paul II,( soon to be canonised)
put the issue of women priests 'beyond the pale', it was and is not a discussion
or negotiation topic and infallibility has been applied to the whole issue on the
basis of:-
1.Evolution.
2. The twelve were male.
Interestingly, John Paul the second tried ;but failed to put the issue of contraception
onto the infallibility doctrine but was prevented by the then Cardinal Ratzinger.
However, latest news from the Vatican states that the celibacy rule and the
marriage issue are copperfastened and also beyond discussion. So at
least people know what is going on.
There have been many women who have risked a lot because they truly
believe that they have a call to vocation within the Catholic church, a question
around the issue would be- if they experience a call to God, as a man does,
then who is to judge the veracity of the claim?
[This is in response to the above comment.]
The source for the late Pope's Statement is from a book called :-
"The Pope in Winter" (John Cornwell- Vatican writer, though Hans Kung has
written somewhat on the Issue of 'Women In Christianity" also.
Cardina Ratzinger- now Pope Benedict the XVI was very involved with the
Latin American Church for some considerable period, as he issued the
directive to silence Leonard Boff.

Maria Julia Hernandez got for most of her working life a piece of black paper
in the mail with a white cross inscribed on it.
