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 7 8 9 10The reason he sold out on all his principles including a socialist opposition to the eu superstate is much less complicated than that. He wanted to get on board the brussells gravy train.
Has anyone seen De Rossa lately? He's nowhere to be seen even in his former Dail constituency. Mind you there'll be a Euro election in two years time so he may stir himself shortly... Opportunist that he is.
dont forget that fat pig Geraghty, many people in the workers party never will, he also sold out on the Nice as well as everything else. Joe Carolan and the many trade union brothers and sisters who heckled him on the 1st may outside liberty hall were right.
since the election, DeRossa is now only an MEP as Dublin North West lost a seat in the electoral boundary rearrangements so to allow Roisin Shorthall to take the Labour seat, DeRossa took the decision to stand down at the time of the DL/LP merger.
I do not see the reason for all this hostility towards de Rossa's involvment in the so-called "gravy train". Perhaps he has been convinced of the value of European integration from a closer study of the subject? Would it be better to have no Irish represenatives on the European Parliament or in the Convention on the Future of Europe? If as I expect, readers of Indymedia are concerned about the global environment, fair trade and other human liberties issues then I would suggest that engagement in the EU is preferable than rejection of it. The alternative is a planet completely dominated by the US with no possible challengers. At least we can influence the decisions of the EU either indirectly through our government, our MEPS' or directly through major NGOs and pressure groups who have offices in Brussels.
Actually De Rossa didn't have much choice in the DL/LAB merger. Rabbitte, Gilmore and McManus were going to jump ship anyway. He got his Honorary Presidency of the Labour Party to keep him quiet. He gave up the seat because he looked like losing it anyway. He only held on by 100 votes in 1997 and with one fewer seat, his arse was doomed. So he scarpered off to Europe. Himself and Geraghty sold out on the Irish working class. They betrayed their party but also betrayed the entire working class by damaging the credibility of left politics.
..yes indeed they have sold out. I have a copy of the Workers Party pamphlet issued at the time of the split attacking the attempt to break up the party, interesting to see what he was thinking at the time, even then the old WP were saying that the only place he would end up in the Labour Party but needed a political stepping stone at that time i.e. Democratic Left.
De Rossa has sold out so many times over his Political career,its a joke.
For those who keep an open mind, political opinions vary from day to day while core values remain a constant. De Rossa never sold out on his core values, those of social justice, equity and freedom. The man merely changed his mind on this particular issue. He came round to the idea of Europe as many people have done. Many of those (including myself) who were initially highly critical of Ireland's haste to join the EEC, are reassessing our stance. Given the blatant benifits which have been accrued as a direct result of membership, I think it is fair to say that WE WERE WRONG. Surely it is better that De Rossa acknowledges this than to stubbornly tow a reactionary line that he no longer believes in. Like any of us, a politician should be allowed to follow his conscience and change his mind without being slated for selling out.
De Rossa did sell out on his core values. He has done nothing other than give lip service to issues such as social justice, equity and freedom. The man is a hypocrite and a disgrace. Just look at his statements over the years and his actual record.
