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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
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.

British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

sure twas written some day all the wombles and muppets shall assemble and have a big big argument signing of songs raising of kilts and lovely does and always did
IT
but not for its airstrip which is small more for the adjoining Airmotive site, this is a most interesting aerospace repair centre.
Most cruise missile bits get made in anonymous grey buildings in the London suburbs. But Airmotive is a key Irish facility.
you might include it on your list of "Irish defence resources"= I would.
and check out the oil-spill article I left the other day new update on ESA involvement, should get the conspiracy heads buzzing.
and the police are all over the place and scowling through the window so I´m going.
talk to ye 2mrw. love to all the "veterans".
seriously folks, the diasporia took away lots of your enemies and friends, but they didn´t go away.
Now that your thinking global acting local, I´d suggest that you scour those old records for the bright young things, coz others did.
= ¿where is Tom?
The guy I'm thinking of ran against Aine de Paor for President and he had been in YFG in UCD. Fuck it.. I know his name well, just can't remember... will come back to me. He was against condoms, which the godless Proddies in TCD did not like, once I'd found an article he had writen and circulated it. Was speaking to him after in Mulligans and told him I was behind it and he did not mind. Was more interested in showing me a coin of King Charkles 1st of England and explaining how we had to get catholics back on the throne of the neighbouring island. It was a bit bizarre...
Mark Coleman - thats him.
I remembered him as Murphy not Maguire.
nasty piece of work. the lingering Dockerel tendency and interest in the residual constituency which was Dublin University. The last unionist MP was Dockerel whose great grandson was president of the Philosophy soc that year. [more inaccuracy of the iosaf memory?]
When Tom the neo-nazi left my easy to find duffle bag of careerist hacks files, he had transferred to a American University. I have checked the Federal Prisoner Locator Service and it appears he has not commited a Federal crime in U.S. jurisdiction or the Philipines. Nor is he in Prague, the empty buildings have been searched.
Hmmm. Where is Tom? Ivana and Aileen (i remember were comrades and friends) still about, a few characters dead, and Tom? hmmm. What did he get up to? any answers on a postcard please to BBC house London W12 8QT, and next week we´ll show you how to achieve cold fission in your garden shed.
Now Ivana and you other Trinity people, you´ve been on the Irish scene a long time, well done, and you´ve built up quite an impressive network (or) shadowey cabal of interests. You are and always were very clever and very intelligent people. And you were very rarely underestimated which allows you the peculiar tactical advantage of being overestimated now. I trust ye will go on doing your best, and treating both follicle, root and sprout as integral parts of the hair/fur.
So make sure you widen the debate about the War, to all elements of Irish Neutrality. Many Irish think it unlikely that NATO forces can be stopped from using Irish defence resources.
these principally being
Shannon
Knock
Irish metereological services
Cork deep sea harbour
Rockall atlantic zone.
hmmm I not sure if I agree, but I was always a mad bastard and no-one ever paid me that long craved attention [check my easy to find psychological profile which draws heavy on the work of Antony Kemp of All Souls Oxford], but it seems to me that the search for Irish neutrality if widened to include the status of Irish citizens in the wider world, then we have room and space to redefine that Aricle º10 wishywashy commitment.
good luck with your lectures. And students are an awful pain in the ass, Ivana don´t you think?
they´re all on strike over here in Barcelona at the moment, someone´s been filling their heads with militancy notions.
:-) o as if
almost makes me want to do a "send iosaf back to Eire to attempt to flirt with a veteran feminist anarchist benefit gig"
:-)
didn´t go away.
you know.
has also toned down the strange hats she used to wear.
but others in the wsm have taken up the spiky hair & bizarre headgear mantle.
IOSAF your memory is a bit off on this. The anarchist you are thinking of is Aileen who actually ran the year after Ivania (against Eddie Doyle and the fascist loving Tom Costello). I managed her election campaign so I should know! Her and Ivania are actually good friends as both were very active in pro-choice stuff before and since.
Aileen is still active (she's another WSM member) but has her hair more under control these days. You'll find a picture of her speaking at the pre referedum pro-choice march in Dublin last year at http://struggle.ws/wsm/news/2002/anvmarchFEB.html
i remember the double hundred last digits, but there u go, not even my memory is infallible.
I do though remember the young anarchist who stood against Ivana the blonde czech for those S.U. elections.
She was nice. I fancied her.
ex-Maoists have figured in Temple Bar Properties as well.
and SPUC the tendencany is well alive, I believe that Sinn Fein and the Socialist Party are currently operating a technical grouping in Dail Eirinn with one of their former supporters.
Sorry lads and lassies if that re-ingites one of those "why are ye in the technical grouping?" debates.
Is that anarchist still about? Her hair was well funky, I voted for the politics not the hair.
or did I vote? hmmm.
can´t remember. But lacing the milk in the Arts block with green dye to protest against the Bewleys owner man, I remember that.
hmmm.
is he still about?
German Streetfighters and US maoists become Green Pols and Washington Hawks.
And our sad post new-labour 'opposition my arse' count some ex maoists among their number.
SPUC were never really heard of much after the student court cases in 1988/89. They still exist as far as I know though, Bloody Mary Lucey and her husband run it.
There was an interview with Lucey in the papers after the X case and she came across really badly compared to the young women on the pro-choice side, so they made a strategic decision to retire the dinosaurs from public duty. This is why a lot of the anti-choice speakers now are young women lawyers and doctors, most of them are Opus Dei too - but they keep quiet about that.
Curious asked if you have to be a full professor or TD/MEP to speak. Well Richie Boyd-Barrett is not a professor, and he (or anyother member of SWP) has no chance of ever getting elected to a public position.
Women have the right to know
I'm not old enough to remember when it was just 794700, but I do recall seeing the banners where the 6 had obviously been added after the rest.
or "Youth Defence Off" these days.
Whatever happened to SPUC? Even by 1992, SPUC didn't really figure.
What was the number again? I must have chanted it thousands of times.
7640098(?)!
Women Must Decide Their Fate!
Ivana the socialist blond hair spikey czech pres. of TCDSU back in the info phone line days.
hmmmm.
now a prof of law.
hmmmm.
there were a few chanting "spuc off".
hmmmm.
wonder what they ended up doing.
hmmmm.
maybe i´ll ask a troll to do some datamining.
hmmmm.
drawing crowds is it?
in a TCD art´s building room.
crowds?
would that be a mass-mobilisation or just a chat with the hacks?
Is that because they'll probably pull more of a crwod?
He is the leader, and he knows best. Why would the SWP want to put someone else in charge of any of their campaigns? They might make the wrong decisions! Only an experienced full timer can be trusted with control.
(Tune in next week for part 2 of this lesson, explaining why its better that an SWP full-timer should be in charge of a campaign rather than the members of that campaign, who might make the wrong decisions.
Part 3 covers the post-revolutionary period. In other words, why the state should be run by SWP full-timers rather than ordinary workers. After all, its counter-revolutionary to give power to people who might make the wrong decisions)
Why though, does RBB have to be chair of everything? IAWM, Anti-Charges, Save The Dun laoire baths etc etc. And he is also SWP leader.Is it some kind of Cult of the Personality?
This is not a sectarian jibe, rather it should be food for thought for the SWP rank & file. How could one person carry out so many leadership roles properly? Why would anyone want to amass so many titles? Wouldn't it be better if different people were allowed to take up these positions so that their skills could be developed?
no mention of this or the time of it at http://irishantiwar.org
Do you need to be a full professor or a TD/MEP to be eligible to speak at IAWM meetings?
