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 6Is this once again the SWP jumping on the bandwagon and getting people along to a meeting believing they are getting involved in the campaign they care about or is it once again a recruiting dupe for said bandwaggers?
>Is this once again the SWP
did you even read the post?

where does it say swp? these are real people working on a vital issue for Irish women. I have absolutely no doubt that you are male - and of course you will never have to worry about abortion because you will never have to deal with it because you will never be pregnant.
If you had bothered to go to the last ANV meeting the speakers included Helen Keogh, chairwoman of the well woman clinic. If you doubt her credentials watch the video file:
http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=274
and no, i am not a member of swp.
I'm delighted to hear all of that. But hey, chill, I'm on your side, it's the SWP I don't like!
Nobody accused the ANV of being an SWP front, so relax on that front.
It is pretty obvious though that this "Rathmines branch of the ANV" is just a new name for the Rathmines Branch of the SWP, like the Rathmines Branch of GR before it.
It is good that the SWP are belatedly getting involved in the ANV, but they should have the honesty to admit who they are. I mean Peadar O'Grady of "Doctors for choice" is rather better known as Peadar O'Grady SWP election candidate.
>Nobody accused the ANV of being an SWP front
yes they did:
>Smells like swizzers / Is this once again the SWP jumping on the bandwagon
>I mean Peadar O'Grady of "Doctors for choice" is rather better known as Peadar O'Grady SWP election candidate
so are you saying this person cannot speak as a doctor and a psychiatrist without giving his political affiliations? Again if you'd bothered to go to the last anv meeting you would have heard him speak from the floor and make serious contributions on abortion issues including that we should let the x case lie because ms. x is alive and well somewhere and does not deserve to have her past from 10 years ago brought up again and again every referendum (and we've had plenty of them)
So basically, if you have nothing constructive to add to the abortion issue, stay out of it; obviously its not something you take an interest in. Again, no i am not a member of swp.
Nobody said that the ANV was an SWP front. Get that through your head. In fact the SWP, for some reason, seem to have got involved in the ANV late.
What was said was that this public meeting of the "Rathmines Branch of the ANV" smelled suspiciously of the SWP. You know why it smells of the SWP? It's because that's how they often operate, temporarily pretending to be some broad organisation in order to get other people along to their meetings. Last month it could have been the Rathmines Branch of Globalise Resistance. Last year it could have been the Rathmines Branch of the Socialist Alliance (remember them?).
As for what Peadar O'Grady calls himself, I don't really care. The man will always have some brownie points in my book for being done for calling Haughey a crook.
More generally it is a serious problem that the SWP play these kind of confidence tricks. Treating people as idiots only serves to alienate them in the long run. So yes, it does matter.
Hopefully somebody can give a report of the meeting and find out just how many of those present actually were SWP. I won't hold my breath.
On the subject of abortion, yes I do care about it a great deal - to much to want to see little organisations playing games over it.
