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: 6 5 4 3 2 1If someone in any European city wore army gear and stood on the street with their national flag they would be seen to be fascists. I have lived in Germany, Sweden and briefly in Italy in my time. Fascists in those coutres act in that manner.
I have to add thought that RSF are not fascists. And I believe that the Moore Street site is of historical interest and should be preserved.
im not a fan of RSF at all really, but i was talking to the NGAers yesterday about 16 moore street and i think its terrible that the council want to knock it down.
i think yesterday was probably the best chance they would get to reach a lot of (possibly) sympathetic ears given that the demo was on.
if your complaining that 'theres a war on and they have nothing better to do than whinge about some old building" - if thats the case, then what you are in fact saying is that at anti-war demos people should only hand out leaflets about the war? thats bullshit. perhaps we should then be complaining about the RTSers who were handing out leaflets about the upcoming RTS on may bank holiday?
and as for calling them 'fascist' for dressing up, come on for fucks sake. its like calling a historical re-enactment society fascist!! i'm no fan of the tricolour, and i must say that i felt a surge of pride yesterday when the tricolour was burnt outside the Dail. a great moment that led me to hope that one day, nationality will be irrelevant.
save 16 moore street, its part of our history. turn it into a museum - give me a job there :)
"Why did RSF only have their Ard Comhairle at the demo?"
Read it again. The Ard Chomhairle finished early so it could participate behind the RSF banner with the other RSF members.
"Why did you dress up in Volunteer uniform of 1916 and stand outside the GPO looking to save some ould building"
That was the NGA not RSF. The NGA are a limited company and are not aligned to any political party.
"The dominant global issue is by far is the war on Iraq, and all you could think about is saving some dodgy building on Moore St for no apparent reason!"
The war in Iraq is the dominant global issue but it is not the only issue. Should we stop all other important political work every time there is a dominant global issue? The building at moore street was the one where the leaders of 1916 voted to surrender from. If it was saved it could be resfurbished and turned into a museum of the 1916 period. The council want to use the GPO instead but that wouldn't work as long as the GPO remains an active post office.
"Dressing up in military uniform and holding the national flag appears to me, and definitly any non-Irish people, as fascist."
Of course the first time the flag was seen widely it was flown by men in military uniform. RSF advocates a 32 county federal republic with maximum devolution to local level. I suggest you look up the meaning of the word fascist again.
Its sad that some people protest against imperialism abroad but ignore the same imperialism at home.
Why did RSF only have their Ard Comhairle at the demo? Apart from not having many other members that are not in a retirment home, could one of you please give a reason.
Why are RSF not involved in the IAWM? Why did you dress up in Volunteer uniform of 1916 and stand outside the GPO looking to save some ould building when there is a WAR taking place.
RSF belong to the past, you have no future. The dominant global issue is by far is the war on Iraq, and all you could think about is saving some dodgy building on Moore St for no apparent reason!
PS
Dressing up in military uniform and holding the national flag appears to me, and definitly any non-Irish people, as fascist.
Thanks to conservative Irish America and the Fianna Fail party, provisional Sinn Fein has been integrated fully into the Anglo-American imperial power structure. Gerry Adams is begging Bush's poodle for Sinn Fein to be allowed resume its administration of British rule in Ireland, in association with the retrograde Trimble, a war hawk. And they invite Bush's representative in Ireland to attend their Ard Fheis, as Bush's bombs massacre innocent Iraqis. They should no longer use the name Sinn Fein.
Care to comment on the statement made at the rally? Namely that the US Ambassador was an invited guest at the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis?
