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 10 11 12 13 14 15 16Why is indymedia being taken over by a bunch of left-republicans? This is an anti-capitalist website! Nationalism is a capitalist ideology! for heavens sake!
Please dont vote for this pathetic song. Vote for the "Internationale" or something that is actually against capitalism!!
You are an idiot - the point is that this song is bubbling under the top 10 and it will piss off the BBC and the British establishment in general if it is voted up the list. These appeals are flying all round the world among Irish people, I have got five already today. It is a piss take and also to annoy them.
Of course if you want to split the vote by proposing some other song that does not have tens of thousands of votes already, then go ahead.
But I'm sure some little Tristram in the BBC will realise that your obscure objection is about - lighten up for God sake, it's not selling your soul, it's just an on-line poll.
It's a very slipperly slope in all fairness Mags. You start off voting for a Wolfe Tones song for a bit of a laugh or whatever, then you find yourself singing Fields of Athenry while drunk, and after that it's a short step to supporting Celtic and getting Eire tatooed on your ass and then they'll kick you out of the Ultra Revolutionary Leninist Trotskyite Solidarity Coalition of the 7th International. Oh, the humanity.
Secretarian hater: "Nationalism is a capitalist ideology!"
No it is not! Nationalism means that you have self dignity, you know where you are coming from and where you are going next. Nationalism is good, because without pride of your origin, you cannot respect people from other culture. You can be also communist and at the same time nationalist, you need to free your mind!! Be proud of who you are, black people from africa are also proud of being black. They say 'black power' because they feel good about themselves. You can respect your own culture also. You are also free to feel good about yourself, you don't have to feel shame because you was born white. Be a nationalist, be communist, be whatever you want!
It's not the only email going around - there are plenty of other campaigns that are not entirely motivated by considerations of musical taste...
Google a few of the titles
For the record here's the list as presented on the BBC website:
Vande Mataran (various)
Rakkamma Kaiya Thattu (Iiayaraja?)
Dil Dil Pakistan (Vital Signs)
Believe (Cher)
We Don’t Talk Anymore (Cliff Richard)
Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen)
Hero (Mariah Carey)
Imagine (John Lennon)
Poovum Nadakkuthu Pinchum Nadakkuthu (Thirumalai Chandran)
Now obviously it's not about taste either to be voting for "We Don't Talk Anymore" by ... him ... so I wonder what kind of politics motivates a campaign to get that ... thing ... declared as the greatest song ever.
Whoever they are, I oppose them.
nationalism is a capitalist ideology. Nations are a capitalist entity. Nations only came into existence in the capitalist era. They are very much creations of capitalism. Therefore nationalism is an ideology of capitalism.
I dont give a fuck about annoying the british establishment for irish republican-nationalist-catholicism reasons. I think that the UK establishment would be far more pissed off if the Internationale was in the top 10.
Nationalism and republican are two totally different things (read Wolfe Tone if you don't believe me) and socialism is another thing altogether. Just shows the Provos want to be all things to all men (sic) while at the same time the nationalist leopard never changes his spots.
I'm voting for The Internationale.
Alan needs to wise up, Republican Socialism has nothing to do with nationalism. In his contributions to debates on Indymedia, Alan has displayed an appalling ignorance of Irelands history and its current situation. Would you not prefer some sticky ditty? Perhaps a song like "Money, Money, Money!"? Or a song celebrating the OIRA hatchet attack on CP members?
Larry Whites Lament?
Sectarian Hater appears to be the sdame person as IRSP Hater. He believes that people whose politics he doesnt like should be tortured to death by the state. "Horst Wessel Lied" would be a more appropriate song for him.
So you would vote for it just to piss people off? Some of us are trying to work for peace in Ireland, if/when the british leave the north a million pissed off unionists will destroy Ireland for a generation, learn your Irish history and you will see that conflict destroys both sides!
Robby - you know nothing whatsoever about me, so fuck off - don't tell me to 'learn my history'. If you care to know I have a fucking MA in History, you moron. And are you really the kind of idiot who believes that voting in a BBC on-line poll is going to bring the guns out? Get a life. And we are all 'working for peace' - just not sanctimonious middle class crap like your equation of 'peace' with 'lack of conflict', which is not the same thing at all.
I know you Mags, and I know your sort. You are a sectarian that just wants to stir it up by getting some crappy Wolfe Tones song on the Top 10 list.
Why do you want to do this? If Loyalists were voting for the Sash to go on the Top 10 you would be the first to critise them, why should people not criticise you? Is it because Catholic sectarianism is OK?
It is not a 'Wolfe Tones' song, it was written by Thomas Davis in the 1840s.
If you go to a library and borrow a book on Irish history (an adult with provide assistance if this is too difficult) you will discover that Thamas Davis was - shock horror, a Protestant. As was Wolfe Tone.
PS When do I get my own 'hater'?, can I have one for Xmas, please.
TCD sell off unemployed failed BAs from Kingstown fairly cheaply. Its name is William Ian Carson Craig Donaldson.
a mags hater all of ypour own!
not to be open till xmas though.
Thank you Pat C, so thoughtful.
I shall preserve him carefully and if I can track down a female version may even try breeding. I suppose surplus West Brits can be disposed of via the 'swaps' section in 'Buy and Sell'. 'Twould be cruel to drown the little mites, y'see.
now mags, you should remember the IRB Supreme Council agreed that we would no longer refer to these types as "West Brits".
Anyway, I also bought you Penelope Fifi Forsythe-Smythe from TCD. You can now breed them.
Must be when I was on dentist detail and I missed that meeting. Can we call them 'Southern Unionists' then?
