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.

Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3these people were not taken captive they were "Arrested" and they are not detainees as you so elegantly put it they are "Prisoners". Its not Guantanamo Bay. You will find that they were arrested in accordance with the law of the land and are subsequently being held in accordance with same. THey are "Questioned" not interrogated. The police force is correctly called the "PSNI"
This is typical republican rant which does little to promote Ireland as a country. Your use of inflammatory and language will do little to help the youth develop their own views.
Police forces are not the enemy of Republicanism rather republicanism as you see it is the enemy of the people. If Nelson Mandela can move on why are you still clinging to your outdated notions and trying to bring others along with you. People dont want any more Omaghs or Eniskillens and won't tolerate crime being carried out in the name of republicanism. Remember the people have spoken listen to them before its too late
which law of the land, 'true' irishman? Or more to the point, whose laws and to whose interests?
I wonder if the person calling themselves "True Irish man"??????? really has any idea about Irish history at ALL???
First of all in regards to other comments on this web-site,Ireland is split in two!!,With a border in the Northern part of it,I dont no if you noticed or not but some people call it northeren Ireland and it has a currency called sterling!!!! I ask you Mr True irishman............
How can a country be a Republic if it is in fact split in two,with two currency's in effect,and two supposed governments in each partitioned state??
I also put this to you that if the english had not invaded our shores would there have been any conflict in Ireland at all?
Now in regards to the situation at the moment in the Occupied six counties of northern Ireland,The english crowned forces are still there,the RUC as they are known are still harrasing and intimidating Republicans,they are still harrasing them as go about there daily buisness,MI5 only recentley built and completed a new head-office in the occupied six-counties, remember the name only changed from RUC to PSNI not so long ago,and remember this,That it has been proven by the police ombudsman in the occupied six counties that there was collusion between loyalist death squads and the RUC/PSNI, I also wonder if you could tell me the name of the RUC before they were named the RUC???????
I also put it to you that you have a problem with people who believe in the Republican cause,because you are infact ignorant to the Republican movement.
I wonder if you have read the Irish proclamation of 1916 and set out by the First Dail Eireann in 1919????
It is quite obvious that you MR "True Irishman" are in fact quite ignorant to the history of our land and that if you had a slight idea you would not be posting messages on this web-site dogging Republicans and there supporters. Maybe you should get the history books out again and have another read of the section marked IRISH HISTORY. And then maybe post something a bit usefull and a bit interseting for the rest of us to read.
