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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13Forgot to mention that the forum will be taking place upstairs in the bar.
The SWP is an English based cult. Its most prominent Irish member, Eamonn McCann, is now receiving praise from the hysterical West Briton, Ruth Dudley Edwards, for his attacks on Sinn Fein, -Irelands revolutionary republican organization.'Nuff said.
Eamonn McCann is not responsible for anything Ruth Dudley Edwards says.
But Sinn Fein have Minister in Stormont who ARE responsible for introducing private finance into hospitals and schools.
That was why they didn't blush when the rich Americans gave them so much money.
Wake up Shelta!!!
Is that because if you call it a SWP meeting nobody would turn up?
Once again rose shows how UN-VITAL she is. Activist! in your dreams rose.
The leaflet and posters clearly state that the forum is being hosted by the Cork SWP. Will I post a copy for people to check?
Who's speaking at the event? Are there any of the representatives from the NGO groups who attended the summit going to be there?
sehb ONLINE GIRL IN BLUE PERCHANCE ON THE DIVIDE AND CONQUER SQD?
Yet another SWP covergroup.
Lads, just call it a SWP meeting because that's what it is.
Again, have I not said that this is clearly an SWP meeting and will have an SWP speaker at it.
if the speaker at the meeting has not attended the earth summit, so what. can a group not put across their political analysis if they have not experienced something at first hand?can i not have a valid opinion about what the summit didnt achieve just because i wasnt there. i have only in the last few weeks become interested in far left politics but from what i can see some people just spend all their time attacking the swp rather than the common enemy. wake up!
Straightforward questions:
1. Who is speaking?
2. Were any of them in Johannesburg?
Could somebody who knows the answer to these questions answer them, please.
the Cork SWP is organising this forum, as we are now doing around the country as best we can, to encourage an informal discussion about the issues being raised at the Earth summit in South Africa. Its a change from the big rally type meetings we put on one a month or so in major cities in the past.
So what is being discussed at the forum?, basically will the Earth Summit make any attempt at saving our planet as there are already compromises being arranged to suit the USA and the OPEC cartel in the Middle East OK. So the socialist viewpoint on these issues will be discussed and the speaker (if any) will mostly be from the SWP.
Here in Cork, we hadn't the opportunity to ask a NGO group to speak along side us but if any wish to come along that would be great.
For example, the last forum we organised was on the issue of the breakout from the Woomera refugee detention camp in Australia, as a Cork student over there had been arrested because he help young Afghan kids to escape from the camp, that was the relevance to Cork specifically, remember?.
Now we showed an independently produced video on the breakout and had a good serious discussion on the issues of refugees and the policy of the detention in different countries (being the internationalists that we are). Two people from Australia itself attended the forum to give their views on the fight which gave the forum an extra edge as we had people from that country speaking about the issue that concerned them so much.
So no NGOs as yet will be speaking at our forum and it is openly advertised as an SWP hosted event (maybe I will upload the poster to prove it before Friday)
If any are interested in reading an NGO viewpoint on this conference, there is an article in the latest Socialist Worker, with an interview from a Peter Doran from Derry who is travelling to South Africa for the summit, the URL is posted below

Hopefully I have now answered the questions raised in this thread finally,
Best regards
