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.

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.

I have answered your point, several times, in several debates on Indymedia. A long time ago I gave up the ghost in wasting my days in arguments I've fought again and again and again. As I pointed out, if you want an answer mail me and if UI get round to it I'll get a reply back to you some time buit I am not wasting a single second on an argument that I havebeen through many times on Indymedia. Repition becomes boring.
I DO NOT make a habit of attacking the republican movement on IMC, I simply pointed out the contradiction between posturing as an anti imperialist organisation while obtaining large funding from the U.S. that fundraising requires the permission of Dubya Bush. Do you really believe that if Bush thought that SF were a threat that they would still be allowed to fundraise? the fact that they have refused to answer the question is as far as I am concerned, an answer in itself.
how is your query relevant to this topic?
you are just a troll who is prepared to use every single thread to attack republicans.
SF is a legal party & is entitled to raise funds in the US (as is the SP). SF is opposed to the war in the gulf (yes, the war, they never stopped bombing Iraq) and the use of Shannon for military purposes. I would be surprised if the Bush administration were unaware of this. (Especially when SF banners are regularly at protests outside the US embassy.)
Whether my name is Des, Dave or anything else, does not negate the fact that there is a contradiction between receiving substantial funding from the states (with the consent of the Bush administration) and then attempting to posture as being anti-imperialist. It is a legitimate query and attempting to ignore it by using various labels is simply avoiding the question. What Justin intends to eat over the holiday period is of no interest to me. For reasons that may be obvious to some people, I don’t use my real name when making comments.
Pat C, is there anything that man can't do? :)
constantly moan about the degeneration of indymedia.
however, no matter what the topic they will use it as an opportunity to attack republicans.
joe cahill was responsible for those ships colliding off france! what do you say to that justin?
If the Trolls really want answers they can look through Indymedia to find any one of the over a dozen threads on this tired old subject I contributed to or they can mail me and some time over Xmas, when bored and replete with turkey I'll probably respond.
Gerry Adams has shag all to do with the cost of Shannon policing. Other topics of little or no relevance include SP policy on the north, Israel/Palestine, the SWP's relationship with GR, the IAWM vs the grassroots gathering... the list goes on.
Brining them up every time someone posts is trolling, plain and simple.
Just wondering like
Troll? like hell, it's a legitimate political point and I would like a response.
Phuq, I thought it was very low as well to be honest, especially if you consider there was air support for the cops at the last Shannon protest. It will be followed up but the Dáil won't be sitting until the end of January after tomorrow so be waiting a while for a response.
Interestingly, another question we got answered giving the cost of the refugee round-up that was Operation hyphen:
"I am informed by the Garda authorities that the total amount of money spent on Operation Hyphen for the two days in July was €101,518. This is broken down between the Dublin Metropolitan Region - €30,226; other Regions - €49,569; and the Garda National Immigration Bureau for both days - €21,569."
That suggests the 60,000 one might be close enough to the mark. Seems low but then, how much are cops worth? :)
Justin/SF-people, please don't respond to the obvious troll above. It's obvious to all of us what it is!
Now, a question: do you know exactly what was included in arriving at those figures? They seem suspiciously low to me. How many security staff and Gardai are stationed at the airport? Are they being diverted from their normal duties in order to secure US military flights? If so then their time/salaries should be added to the estimate.
Since SF are now in bed with the US Imperialists, I am somewhat surprised to find you been just a little critical, does Gerry know? think of all that lovely cash coming in from the states.
The figures above refer only to the cost of Garda security, not airport security, any private security firms or anything or anyone the Yaks might have supplied.
Eoin, how did you manage to get through that shield?
