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.

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.

No surprise there as he named Felix Dzerzinsky
(spelling) as the first head of the KGB.
Felix was head of the cheka as we know.
Just wondering was kiberd in the WP in the 80's?
it seems silly to remind everyone that most Venezeulans aren´t even counted.
so it might be more accurate to say that 80% of a very privelaged minority in one of the poorest countries of South America when polled about the strike agenda some weeks ago thought Chavez would better be replaced.
They did not say
"we support constitutional rebellion"
"we support the overthrow of a democratically elected government".
so it´s more disinformation.
I´m beginning to feel less depressed about the whole Venezuealan thing. I wrote "comment" http://ireland.indymedia.org/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=22877 the morning of the demonstrations that ended in two deaths, and then wrote "questions for readers"afterwards in which I told readers that the rightwing were associating Chavez with AlQaeda http://ireland.indymedia.org/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=22957, I have been very impressed by the response across individuals political parties and well the whole crew, coz there is nothing we can do.
well there is.
we are seeing yet again how they work.
those who overthrow democratically elected governments they don´t like.
And we are seeing that the old formula really hasn´t changed that much.
I recall last year, when I wrote in my well known slightly drugged / drunk / trippy less than totally serious tongue in cheek poetic style that we had "two million undeclared on the streets in Venezuela".
I thought long about that.
I discussed it with south american activists from syndicalist backgrounds (full spectrum).
I realised that as long as that many people are on the streets every day through the summer in carnival atmosphere then there is deadlock.
Local grassroots groups learnt from Argentina.
They do what they can to ensure supply of food etc.,
And the masses on the street though they be ascribed or claimed by the "political leaders" as everytime, in fact are saving their "state" from civil war.
as long as they are not shot.
at least that was the plan.
it was felt that no military officer would order his troops to fire upon people who have being having a politicised "fiesta" on the streets for over a month.
It was estimated that two months of general strike is the truly crucial stage.
We have only seen a month.
And now we have seen a most riduculous card played.
Al Qaeda.
So we must think why this card has been played.
whether or not it is on google the article was carried by an assortment of right wing newspapers in Ven. on Sunday last.
The Al Qaeda card has been played globally.
by muslims and those who seem to think our best future may be secured by going to slow war of attrition against muslim countries and most particularly Oil states.
But when this card is played in South America, it begins to seem unreal ¿no?
now we may begin to remember that this card too has been played in Ireland, the Gardaí were reported to being bolstered in their surveillence role by those who seek out Al Qaeda.
The Gardaí were reported to being allocated significant funding and extra powers perhaps in breach of our civil rights to fight the AlQ card.
Am i a silly billy to wonder is the AlQ card real anymore?
and Guinness proved that 99% of time was spent waiting on a pint to settle.
Most Venezuealans probably don´t give a shit about Chavez or not, but they were invited to take part in a state wide poll called elections, and they chose to elect through that mechanism a government that has certain ideas popular throughout that state on Oil, its ownership and profitability.
Oil is very profitable.
lots of profit.
perhaps enough profit for the basic things in life.
I suspect that the basic things in life are the most important for those two million people who continue to protest.
I´ve left a link to an old venezuealan article written by someone else that i liked last year.
