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.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13I was under the impression that the author of the above was not allowed, because of his bail conditions, to vist Shannon airport. I hope the authorities have taken note of his plans.
Welcome to the SWP Shannon Peace Camp!
Yup hats off to everyone indeed, and especially those who have committed so much of their time to the Shannon Peace Camp and endured the elements. For once the balance of media biasm shifted in our favour as it was a farily one sided argument. But it only reflects the reality of the situation in that there are little if none "pro" war groups, where as there are countless anti-war groupings.
It just shows that media coverage will be got on these and so many other issues if a big enuf fuss is kicked up over something and constant efforts are made by all to bring things to the publics attention.
With this confidence all and every type of media, from local to national, from raido station to tv station should be "attacked" strategically and consistently in order to get media coverage of this and all other left wing / humanitarian issues.
Congratulation all involved, Tim, Kat, Mary & Ed. At last your getting the coverage you all deserve, all those long nights at Shannon are paying off. Not much negative feedback from the audience except for the the Israeli!, which hopefully reflects national opinion. Now the push is to get everybody down to Shannon and Dublin in Feb.
Good clear precise performance from SWP panelists.
How much of their time have Richard & Aoife committed to the Shannon Peace Camp?
I think Richard and Aoife (Irish Anti-war Movement and SWP) and everyone else spoke very well. It was a great show of solidarity - they plugged the peace camp as soon as they could and did a shoutout for help/money/people too. Mary Kelly spoke brilliantly too, bring the issue back to "people level" from the geo-politics which dominated the discussion.
Great show lads. Well done to all who spoke both panelists and those in the audience. Should be a great help in trying to mobilise for next Sat and Feb. See you all there!
great show last night.
It was nice to see a good debate on the subject.
I was in a dublin breakfast shop this morning and people were talking about it.
At least in that small microcosm, the show's debate had a positive effect.
thank you to everyone who has supported the shannon peace camp and the anti war movement in general. it was not an easy task to sit and listen and to respond pats insistance in keeping the debate with the internationl high politics with profound statements that deviated from the real issues. despite introducing the slot from an irish context he had no intention of keeping the line of conversation within that focus. it was up to us to force the issue that the Irish Government, without the consent of the irish people, have blood on their hands by facilitating the US military use of shannon warport, in an a war cynicaly justified by the events of semptember 11th. plain and simple!
incidently the peace camp is not an SWP camp, it is however a place for one and all to come and/or support for the reasons above.
While Richie and Aoife did really well on the panel, especially Aoifes comments about the invoice at the end which put Pat back in his seat it think it was really sloppy work on the part of the Late Late show researchers to have two members of th SWP/IAWM (shit that sounds like Sinn Fein/IRA) as main speakers especially when all the publicity generated over the last week was due to the people at the Shannon Peace camp. Two from the peace camp should have been on the panel. Mary Kelly & Tim Hourigan should have been named by Pat and been well known to him. I was not impressed. Ok the demo will be huge this Saturday and thats a plus but the paper selling, recruitment & attitude of th SWP will no doubt alienate all nuetrals who turn up. I guess its up to the rest of us not to let this happen.
who cares if they are SWP, they did a great job.
stop attacking comrades and fight the real enemy.
this needs to be a broad movement.
If they don't care they could have let someone from the camp to be on the panel.
well done richard & aoife. now, to disarm any cynics, iawm could announce that they will allow GG speakers at both the shannon & dublin demos.
