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.

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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12the site has been under attack recently, someone is posting the lie that the site is going down. It is just taking advantage of the fact that the indymedia people are probably at home with their families getting real-space time.
indymedia.ie is alive and will continue until total revolution and collapse of the state occurs.
Real question: can we wait that long?:-)
g
as none of the regular contributors and posters have seen fit to discuss it with each other (to my knowledge) and Iīm a regular commentator / poster.
If the site goes down due to non-payment of bills then it will probably come back on line soon after.
The indymedia family has survived much since itīs inception years ago during Seattle.
Perhaps Irish resident readers need to be reminded of some of the attacks suffered by indymedia over the years..
The most serious attack was made by the FBI during the Quebec conference, the first time Bush2 attended a world capitalist conference.
Agents of the FBI acting out of jurisdiction closed the Quebec IMC.
Earlier this year, for still uncertain reasons Swedish indymedia went off line for four days.
23/10- 27/10.
This was during the Moscow gas incident.
Attentive readers will maybe recall that I
assisted in news coverage of that event commenting on the sad loss of trusted correspodents in Sweden.
French indymedia also has had problems over the years, but finally this year the URL loss seems to be made up for and French indymedia activism is now online again hosted by Nice.
Prague indymedia also has suffered problems in the past.
So essentially donīt worry.
In the past other indymedia centres have suggested using Ireland as a safe resource, I recall various Canadian IMC thought to do so, so if for any reason Ireland fails, there are many othewr back-ups.
The evolving revolution is very very safe.
I think that IMCers should be aware that SWP, SP and ISN members have all left indymedia. They left because Indymedia is not a good alternative news website. Memebrs of organisations dont get basic respect, they get sectarian hatred and rants. I think there should be good deabte between different groups not the ranting that has been thrown at SP, ISN and SWP members.
IMCers sit up and listen, YOUR WEBSITE IS DIEING!
mr election, i dunno where u got ur info that SP, SWP and ISN members have 'left' the site. I'm still here, have been from day one. Just cos I don't feel the need to contribute to every thread doesnt mean I don't come on here. As for the others, well I know certain other members of the party are still regulars here. can't speak for ISN and SWP but judging by the tone of some comments, I think that SWPers are still posting. But don't they have some kinda self imposed ban on coming on here anyway? Or is this just malicious rumour?
anyway, well done to all involved in the anarchist conspiracy (oops I mean Indymedia ;-] - jokin). Happy New Year activists.
I'm still here - and I know that other Green Party members are using the site. I'm not very active at the moment because, as you may have notices, it's the Christmas holidays.
Whoever is attacking indymedia.ie is way off. Of course the Irish IMC could do more and there's always room for improvement. But having said that IMC Ireland has had an excellent first year and will only grow and get better.
Like any other volunteer group we will always have ups and downs as the time and energy that people can give to the project increases and decreases. However the bottom line is that people get value from the site (which is why they keep coming back) and so we are filling a demand, albeit outside of the market.
Indymedia is a collective endeavour. Like any co-operative venture if you use it you should contribute to it in some way. However using it and not contributing is grand too. What stinks is using Indymedia while at the same time knocking and attacking it and those who spend their time and energy to make it possible. If there's something you don't like then please get involved and work to change it.
so if ireland IMC did disappear,
we ought know that there easy solutions.
=a new IMC.
based in .ie as before for neutrality and the veneer of fifth most free media state in the world, (where is the USA .....I forget)
call it Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Limerick, Galway, Rockall
no enemy can buy up /cyber squat all the domain names.
coz they exist in Irish and Erse gaelic as well no?
Beir bua ionad cumarsáid!
and as a thought for the interested of "cross party support"
here is the back up list for France indymedia...
they took a while to get a Nice site up to replace the national site loss, but you see, the evolving revolution is very safe and survives every christmas period coup dīetat or debt non payment.
i leave the list as a suggestion to all interested in IMC éire, there is never a reason why an IMC should "die". Newswires arenīt to be judged for a one week period, we know that.
I think about it, how many one week periods have been swamped with varying contribution and party bias, = lots, and we weather them all, for the first time I find myself writing of Isreal, anyone notice I always avoided it before?
hmmmm.

EIRE EIRE EIRE ERROn IRELAND IRLAND BAILE ATHA CLIATH.
there are similar compilations of core contributors and political parties and comercial media "quoters", havenīt you noticed that the commercial media "quote" "borrow" "inspire themselves with our free words?"
I like that.
Indymedia ireland is a data tree of public information and such consists of material intended to be in the public domain.
Thus the tree should be kept for cultural, social and historical purposes in the public domain.
This is a yearīs worth of data tree rant, wise words, foolish words, blaa blaa.
Record it.
and ensure it isnīt "stolen" from the public domain, as much now as always.
Started by an Irish guy (Ian Clarke). Always looking for new nodes.
The ISN has not decided to boycott or ignore Indymedia. I, personally, dont contribute often because I find little willingness to actually discuss political developments and an eagerness to make attacks on contributions that are often nothing to do with the given subject matter. I visit the site about twice a week to see if there are any planned events that I would be interested in attending.
BTW I think it could be a really good site if it decided to only allow news items, notification of events and political arguments without the incessant slagging. For example, NI, where IMC could be a forum amongst progressives to debate, all you get is boring.
Seasons greetings and may the only war in 2003 be class war!

I'm a long way from home at the moment and I have to say that it is indymendia.ie that is keeping me sane. Just as an example, a friend living in england emailed me one night saying she'd heard on the bbc news that an Irishwoman had been shot in Jenin. (Stupidly) I tried the mainstream media first - but no mention of a name or any details, so I check indymedia.ie and find an interview with Caoimhe from her hospital bed - (although my heart certainly goes out to the family of Ian Hook who was killed by the IDF that day while working for the UN relief and works agency in Jenin)

theyīre making clones you know.
got it into the papers becuase of a "cult".
yes indeed.
The North Koreans first claimed to produce a cloned zygote back in the 20th century.
Clones are very very bad.
Reclaim the Genome!
"I think that SWPers are still posting. But don't they have some kinda self imposed ban on coming on here anyway? Or is this just malicious rumour?"
The answer to the questions is in order:
no and yes.
