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.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9I think that Dr. Hickey is doing good things, giving practical support to one of the best health systems in the world (despite being isolated and under resourced)
I dont think you can use this to bash the SP. We've a massive workload. It takes up a lot of time to run a campaigning organisation. Our members are in Trade Unions, in community groups, we're also involved in internal party work and campaigns.
We'd love to have the time and resources to give practival help to a whole range of causes, but we cant. Why not join and get involved if you want us to take up more things?

Che is right. If those bunch of whining mostly idle and frustrated closet middle class muthafuckers got off their theoretical party asses and actually went about DOING SOMETHING...we'd all be much less annoyed by the langars, and general society would be better off. But no they can't, they got a party to organise because guess what, they still living in 1920's
Russia and all power to the soviets. Don't even know why im writing this when its so obvious that they are political dinosaurs, along with all the other ideologues out there, whose philosophies allow them to make plans how to 'change the world while continuing to be repressed and unevolved human beings.
God help anyone misled by the mogs. Join the party, adopt the ideology, and by the way leave your own critical brain and personality at the door. Bye Bye
The above posting is one of the most stupid I have ever seen on IMC, where on earth would two small political parties obtain the necessary resources to assist the Cuban People. Obviously David Hickey is to be congratulated on his assistance in providng medical supplies. Re "awareness", and doing something!!! you may be UNAWARE that people such as Joe Higgins and Clare Daly have been active on many issues, e.g. service charges, housing, solidarity with workers in disputes. I am also aware that SP think a great deal. All members are required to bring their brains to meetings, IT'S A PARTY RULE!!!
Wow! Cuba looked futuristic when u look at it from here - Know it's not in any way perfect but look at where it has got to compared to Erron since getting some form of self-determination - I hope they expand democracy there and really provide what the US is afraid of - a shiuning example - and the amount of doctors they have trained and sent abroad - wow - compare that to the irish policy of poaching staff from poorer countries
What is Dr. Hickey doing to assist the Cuban working class to overthrow the stalinist dictatorship which currently oppresses them?
What assitance is he giving them to establish a genuine workers democracy?
Forward to the Cuban socialist revolution.
We know you would prefer the USA to install its Batista type dictator in power in Cuba "Ted the Smart" trotskyist. Why do you trotskyist nuts hate or fear Cubans, Palestinian or even sinners so much? Is it because nobody is interested in your political gibberish anymore.
Dave is playing with the truth as is the standard response from political hacks whenever they are asked a difficult question:
"The above posting is one of the most stupid I have ever seen on IMC, where on earth would two small political parties obtain the necessary resources to assist the Cuban People....... "
Where does Dr Hickey 'obtain the necessary resources to assist the Cuban People' Or The Cuba Solidarity campaign? Well I suppose they beg borrow or steal it, and maybe ask for a few donations, but then they are just ordinary individuals and not 'two small revolutionary parties'
The surplus medical equipment that Dr. Hickey provided to hospitals could just possibly have some connection with the fact that he is a doctor and is therefore in a position to obtain said equipment.
I would doubt that either the SP or SWP have access to such equipment. On a lighter note, I am indeed a socialist but NOT a millionaire like your good self, if you are looking for any hacks, I suggest you try Mount st.
