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.

We Havn't Gone Away You Know!
More write ups- just scroll half way down the page. Nice pics :)
And of course a similar letter to the oppostion parties to put pressure on Dempsey to see the light! We need to push for the MMP to be brought up again in the Dáil and to demand a full responce from him as he has always ducked a straight answer thus far in any question time.
Hi all,
In view of the seriousness of the recent Meath Post article re: the
rail line, I am looking to get a letter writing campaign underway
immediately to Noel Dempsey. Please use this or your own wording and
email or post to
minister@transport.ie
The Department Of Transport,
Transport House,
Kildare St,
Dublin 2.
Obviously there is no need to stress how URGENT this is so please do it
asap. I think that letters would be better than emails but whatever you
can :) Thanks.
Dear Minister Dempsey,
I am writing to demand that the Meath Master Plan, details of which you
are already aware of, be implemented immediately. There is no valid
reason for any further delay in its implementation as benefits to our
Economy, Environment and Heritage far outweigh any benefits percieved
in the current plan. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
By Evan Short
The Navan to Dublin railway project looks to be dead in the water
after it was revealed that one of two key bridges along the M3
protecting the route is not being built.
Site visits by the Meath Post to both locations at Pace (Dunboyne) and
Cannistown (Navan) has revealed that whilst the bridge protecting the
railway at Dunboyne is being constructed, the bridge south of Navan is
not, and the M3 is now being built directly across the railway alignment.
News of this missing bridge and its impact on the Navan Dublin railway
project is likely to be met with anger by Meath's commuters.
However Iarnrod Eireann claim that the NRA have factored in the
problem and will build embankments to allow the railway to go ahead.
During the planning process for the M3 in 2003, concerns were raised
by Iarnród Éireann that reopening of the Navan Dublin railway would be
made too costly if M3 planners were allowed cut the former railway
line in two by running the M3 through it without first building a bridge.
Local railway campaigners, using information from Iarnród Éireann,
succeeded in obtaining the insertion of two railway bridges in the M3
plans to protect efforts to reopen the railway.
Under order of An Bord Pleanála, Meath County Council drew up plans
for one bridge at Dunboyne to protect the former railway line, and
another at Cannistown just south of Navan.
As recently as 2006, Meath County Council planning office insisted
that both bridge plans remained on file and that the Navan Dublin
railway line was being protected.
An Bord Pleanála's ruling stated that a bridge to allow the railway
pass beneath the M3 similar to the Dunboyne bridge should be
constructed at Cannistown. The instruction was that unless Iarnród
Éireann indicated that they intended following a new rail route for at
this section then the bridge as designed should be inserted.
To run the line over the motorway would take an enormous effort and
massive cost, with a 26 foot embankment required to run for kilometres
on either side of the M3 to allow the railway pass above the motorway.
As late as last month, Iarnród Éireann indicated that this section of
the former line was being retained, but the evidence in this
photograph shows this has not happened.
Despite this, a spokeswoman told the Meath Post that the NRA are aware
of their responsibilities.
"The (the NRA) are going to make provision and embankments will be
built that will allow the railway to go ahead."
Wish I could have been there, looks like it was a great day. I will make sure I am off for the next one. I am looking forward to your presentation at the Tara Heritage Hall on Saturday- booked day off!!!
It is true that there was a media blackout and one has to be realistic in one's analysis. However, one reason could be, the media concentration on Lisbon - it simply has monopolised their whole attention. Anyway, let's be positive and send out positive vibrations. From small beginnings, can sprout great endings. If one believes enough, one can generate a great harvest, so let's keep the ball rolling in the public domain and see what happens.....
Thanks Tadhg :) my pleasure.
One further thing though that I would like to draw peoples attention to is what I see as an almost blanket media blackout on the Meath Master Plan. Two Press Releases were sent out over a two week period to over 120 different Newspaper, Tv and Radio stations both here and in Northern Ireland. There were NO replies from Newspapers or Tv and only 2 Radio stations carried the story.
It's hardly a small story either- a SOLUTION to the Tara/M3 Disaster!!!! A blueprint for sustainable living, no double tolls- thats a BIG story. Make of that what you want.
We need more people on the next March scheduled for Navan, details nearer to the time. Volunteers have been busy there and in surrounding areas leafleting residences with information about the MMP. Onwards and upwards :)
Carmel
Thanks so much to all who attended and to everyone who helped to put out flyers, posters and in setting up the march. Special thanks to Carmel, Roibeard, Terri and all the speakers who spoke so effectively and so eloquently. Thank you all.
Thank you also to Laoise and all her friends for the beautiful music, to add to the occasion.
It was a very positive day, promoting a very positive way forward for the people of Meath - the Meath MASTER Plan is a plan that will safeguard the future of Meath.... comparing that against what is an over specified, completely ineffective, over costly Tolled motorway that will only make transport, environmental and quality of life issues worse, then there is no argument.
If built the M3 will be obsolete within a few years, due to petrol price rises.
A varied line up of people with passion and foresight.....

The phrase "On yer bike" actually means don't believe a word of what is being said.
Actually she is speaking at the March as one of the Guest Speakers and is very much in favour of the plan.
I think the previous writer must be referring to the fact that Squeek used to be a Bike Courier ...bike being another form of transport option -rather than car dependency.
"Squeek says "on yer bike" for the Meath master"
Surprised to read that Squeek is intimating that she has no time for the march.
Or does she not know the meaning of that phrase?
Squeek says "on yer bike" for the Meath master
.
Don't forget the march in support of the innovative Meath MASTER Plan will take place on Saturday May 17th 2008 at 3pm.

Looking forward to seeing a good turnout on Saturday :)
To make it colorful and fun please feel free to dress up, face paint etc and bring drums, rattles and anything that makes noise for the March along the way to the Dail.
And the weather promises to stay fine too!
I was in a Taxi friday night listening to the Driver talking about his son who lives in Navan. We got talking about the terrible commute to Dublin etc and the desperate need for improvement. He was TOTALLY unaware of the fact that his son would have to pay a DOUBLE TOLL on the new Motorway and was, even more importantly, sure that his son was unaware of this fact too. And that is the problem here. Hopefully this March on Saturday will help people to wake up!
