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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7If the rules were not adhered to then there is recourse under law, saying that Mr
Lenihan has not really impacted in Mc Dowell's Dept, has he?
The movement away from advocacy and funding of services to people applying for
asylum was matched by a refusal to countenance any application unless it first went
through the desk of the minister. there has been no anounced overhaul of the blatant
racist policy of the former minister nor investigation into the methodologies of his dept.
Other issues of concern were the refusal of work visas to Romanian and Bulgarian
peoples, and the huge publicity round the COSC project which NGO's are claiming
to be inherently flawed.
Has the family a good solicitor- cos Brian May have to bring them back,
his predecessors methods were highly questionable.

[The prison officers are getting pissed off too- but thats another thread]
This is yet another example of the disgusting incompassion of the Irish government and the institutionalised racism inherent in its policies.
The above comment is typical of the ill-informed,small-minded attitude of so many who have ought the line of the government and right wing media in relation to asylum seekers who have as much right to live in places such as Ireland as we do.
You say "Thank God" for Brian Lenihen?Maybe you should follow your Chrisitan fatth a little more closely and show some charity and compassion to those seeking "room at the inn"
Shame.
why would they send back a child with autism some where he does not even know and they will have no homes the night after they went they only get a hotel for one night and what sort of people are the government there making people homless these people cant stop this happening and they will have no money no treatment great needs and people waiting 3 hours out side to find out if olvia and her twins will be alright!
now its absolutly terable that the gornment are doing this and i saw everyone at the protest having tears to there eyes the to children are not even from nigera and what have they done to deserve this?
like why would they send them back somewhere they will get battern and hurt starved thisty and hot?
really all of us are never going to stop on great melissa and olivia they are people just like us remember u wud not like to be sent back now plz say prayers for great and family that there safe
thanks for your attention
The irish people voted overwhelmingly to deny citizenship to all children born in this country.
We are a racist people led by a racist government.
A hell of a lot has to change before people like Great receive justice or even charity in ireland.
Lenihan is, in my opinion, an even greater threat to democracy than McD ever was.
He is humourless, hard-hearted and nervous - a bad combination.
It is sad to hear about Great. Given the attitude of the Government (and the judiciary, really) toward the autism of Irish children, I suppose it's hardly surprising that Great wasn't a priority. It's shameful. Many autistic children, with the right intervention early on, turn out to live independent and fruitful lives. I heard a female engineer (Canadian) interviewed once on the radio who had been a severely autistic child and still had autism, but was very high-functioning and happy, and able to articulate what autism meant in terms of perception. It's wrong for Government to deny these children the right to fulfill what has actually been proven by some (with the right educational methodology) to be excellent potential.
Yes, we're living in a fairly blinkered country at the moment. In various ways, people voted in the election on the economy at home and the illusion of infinite and endless prosperity, over the human life and human rights of those regarded as foreign to our culture.
I know I will come across as incompassionate, but there is almost no proof of suffering endured by people who are returned to Nigeria (their homeland in the case of adults) after being rejected in the Irish asylum process.
I will remind people of a Sunday Tribune special feature 18 months ago approx when a reporter and photographer travelled to Lagos and met with with people who were repatriated to Nigeria.
The two-week, eight-page coverage was ostensibly to show how horrid the Irish asylum process is but it had the counter effect... it showed that aside from living poorly in a poor country, none of the fundamental threats to the rejected asylum seekers lives, that they had claimed to exist when seeking asylum, actually existed. At least two families lived comfortably. Others lived poorly but it is a remarkably poor country. Poverty alone is not sufficient qualification to be granted asylum. Let us not forget that it is a process reserved for those truly in need.
Surely there is an inherent racism in the claim that Nigerians cannot return home and hope to fix the many problems that exist in their own country.
Thank god the little great boy has finally given the all clear to go home to his native land, he deserves a chance to live in a country that has been blasted in the press as been corrupt, but in actual fact is a lovely place full of vibrance and culture.
He will be able to enjoy life now and can leave the trappings of a welfare state behind,his mommy will find a good job and her repatriation money will go a long way in naija.
I think instead of making a big deal out of the inevitable , people should give thanks to the autorities for bringing a nightmare to an end, because this poor family were unsure where the wanted to live whether it be Italy or Ireland.
Well at least they are home now on a free ticket, more power to them , and lets hope that GREAT will be granted a holiday visa to visit his school chums in later years.
