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.

this site is suppossed to be about news and whats going on in ireland and the world. War is brewing, and there is a national stoppage tomorrow, so while you are unhappy about the sparts, don't worry about them! they are marginal here and due to their style they will remain so. relax.
All they do is critise other groups. They are totally unconstructive and in my opinion they are a cult.
Could someone answer these following questions.
1. Why do they wear backpacks all the time?
2. Why the strange accents
3. Why do they even bother to hassle ordinary members of the public?
4. Why dont they just go back under the rock they climbed out of.
OK so this is how Indymedia works (or at least how some are hijacking the idea)
Monday: Bash the SWP day
Tuesday: Bash Sinn Fein
Wednesday: Bash the Socialist Party
Thursday: Bash the Workers' Party
Friday: Bash the Sparts and others
Saturday: Bash Students, trade unionists etc
Sunday: Bash yourself (in the privacy of your own bedroom)
Why don't they bash Fianna Fail, FG, Labour, the PDs and the other establishment parties and elements?
and I´ve been known to carry a backpack.
I don´t speak much you know when out on the street, the "ordinary members" of the public (which incidently Reclaim the Streets! don´t believe exist)
= [we long ago proved in our petrie-dishes thanks to Panda Bear that everyone whether they knew or not was a Zapatista.]
= [then we went on to prove that everyone was Marcus= which certainly put the wind up the CIA!!]
I carry a backpack when out and about for my gasmask and woolyhat, spraycan and agit-propaganda. That way I can be a womble whenever I want.
O as if suggests that the Sparts (who don´t like being called dudes) carry backpacks im memory of Trotsky, its a sumbolic protection against being ice-picked in the back apparantly.
And when can we have a pick on us day?
Or was that only in the 20th century before we came along and showed all the rest of ye how to do it properly.
c/f comment on anti-war demo photo, which Pnda Bear should have placed by now....
the CIA decide how much money there is
money is silly
the CIA are silly
everyone thanks to years of hollywood propaganda knows how to be CIA.
and thanks to our great activism
and ignorance of commas
the CIA are on our side.
CIAO IOSAF
whats that an anagram for?
But when exactly did you show everyone else how to do it? and what is it? Have a party? I was having parties in school, uni and work? What are you talking about?
What on earth are sparts?
at least be clear about what you are on about - use the correct terms and not slang you twit!
I would have thought most people were aware Sparts was shorthand for Spartacist League. Just like we have Shinners, Swimmies, Millies, Sticks, Erps etc. Oddly I don't think anyone has come up with a shorthand for the WSM......
Hey, what's an Erp?
'Sparts' are spartacists, a group founded (if memory serves) in Germany between the world wars.
The party line (literally) is that they are internationalist communists, i.e. Trotskyists.
They differ from Leninists because Leninists build parties and 'vanguards' and the like on a country-by-country basis whereas Spartacists/Trotskyists are internationalist. A bit of an obscure difference, but as far as I'm aware that's it.
Both Leninists (e.g. the SWP) and Trotskyists can suffer from bouts of delusion, convinced as they are that not only is a revolution eternally imminent, but that the workers want nothing more than to be led by a 'vanguard'. As a result, tiny differences between the two can become blown out of all proportion due to their implications down the line if one accepts this logic. This results in the sort of nitpicking evident here for example.
On an interesting side note, the Spartacists are in favour of defending the 'remaining worker's states'; so you have to be in favour of the wonderful worker's paradises of North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba and China to join the gang.
sorry, my link got cut.

how about changing sunday to bash anarchists & libertarian socialists day?
An Erp is a member of the Irish Republican Socialist Party. Founded by Seamus Costello out of the old 'Official' IRA in the mid-70s. Costello also founded the INLA about the same time. Costello said a lot of very interesting things and was a genuine working class revolutionary so of course, the Stickies shot him. After that the Erps never really recovered. There's still a few about Dublin and you can get their newspaper, Starry Plough if you look hard enough.
There is a Commemoration to mark the 25th anniversary of Seamus Costello's murder on this Sunday 6th October in Bray. It is at St Peter's Cemetary (on the right as you enter Bray) at 2.30pm and there is a social event afterwards.
The commemoration is organised by the Seamus Costello Memorial Committee and one of the speakers in Tony Gregory (there are a couple more too, names escape me at present).
The Seamus Costello Memorial Committee consists of republicans and socialist, community workers, etc. from Wicklow area. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

11.there not as brainwashed as the swp
12.they have more of a sense of humor than the swp

14.they have less cover groups than the swp minus the amount of cover groups the sp has
15.they are more progressive than the swp
now we all know the state of education these days, but as we have pointed out again and again REclaim the streets!
was never just about having a party on the streets.
It was about
http://www.reclaimthestreets.net
and well done in school.
were you discredited with causing more than 2,000,000,000$ damage to Capitalism?
were you and are you implicated in increased political awareness and motivation amongst a generation?
were you a household name?
were you
I could go on
but I´d be trolling.
as opposed to isms
Actually the Spartacist League has nothing to do with Rosa Luxemburg's German Spartacusbund. The Spartacist League was founded as a split from the American SWP (nothing to do with the Irish/British version) in the 1960s. Their Irish organisation, mainly made up of Americans, is called Spartacist Group Ireland.
They are a Trotskyist organisation. In fact they are like a bad drawing of a Trotskist organisation.
Their main political activity consists of hassling other left wing groups. Amusingly they publish a bulletin called "Hate Trotskyism, Hate the Spartacist League" which contains polemics made by other tiny splinter groups against them.
A Spartoid accosted me on the anti-war march last week. I don't mind people asking me to buy their publications and if the journal is not too embarrasing to be seen with I will usually purchase it.
Anyhow this Spart approaches at speed and rudely thrusts his organ (fnarr, fnarr) into my face while shouting 'Spartacist Ireland - Anti-Traveller Laws - Womens Right to Abortion, etc.'. I had to divert to go around the proferred magazine. Then I told him to 'Fuck Off'. Several times. He stared at me and then burst into a strange cackling laugh before moving on to the next victim. A friend also followed the same policy with a female of the species, with like effect.
This would appear to be a profitable and enjoyable method of dispelling the menace. At the risk of being called 'pro-capitalist', of course.
