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.

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.

Is the Era of Cheap Internet Surveys Over? Sat Nov 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

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.

The USA has bombed the following countries since 1945:
China,Korea, Guatemala, Indonesia, Cuba, Congo, Peru, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Grenada, Libya, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, former Yugoslavia. None of these bombing campagins led to the establishment of humane democracies in the countries involved, nor were they designed to. US foreign policy is designed to protect and consolidate US economic interests, and democracy doesn't even come into it. The US backed Suharto, the Indonesian dictator, for over 25 years as he brutalised his own people and the people of East Timor and West Papua- he is "our kind of guy" (quote from the US administration of the time). I didn't see the US leaping in there to liberate those people. The NATO bombings in Kosovo and Serbia in 1999 served to escalate the atrocities being committed by the Serbs, and the Clinton administration knew this would happen when they started.
Far from being a defence against the horror that most of humanity lives under, US foreign policy in often the cause of this horror, and they're only getting started- this war is nothing compared to what they have planned.
If you're as uninformed as you appear to be Bernard, I recommend reading something like Noam Chomsky's "Rogue States" or some of the excellent essays and articles John Pilger has written on the subject.
As far as i could see the SWP were not the ones to get people past the barrier. It seemed to me to be a spontaneous action by a few people who then called upon the rest of the people behind the barriers to join them. More and more people did, and eventually nobody was left behind the barrier. I'm not trying to say that there were no SWP members present in the group that started this action, there may have been (I was among them but i don't know the others), but it most definately wasn't an SWP led action.
it doesn't matter what damn organisation..
"oh no, they sell papers"
then just don't buy them
they turned up at the right time today and helped the protest get past the first barrier where the guards would like to keep us
after some confusion real effort was made to block the road and when i left about about 9:10 we had it completely held and the guards seem to have given up (and the riot police were tired as hell)
i'm interested in finding out what happened after & seeing pictures
protesters where peacful and the gardai handled it very badly..
though..we only blocked the front entrance (as far as i know) so why didn't the idiots just go out the back door and walk/get a taxi home?
Ever heard of Bohemian Grove Bernard. Now you go and get real. The US is the one covered in evil and let us not forget that the US backed Saddam and also refused to remove him from the Iraqi scene in 1991 when Bushdaddy saw that a Islamic Fundamentalist State was in the offing. Do check out the shit that goes down in Bohemian Grove and while you're at it check out the number of paedophiles in the US Administration and then you will be able to talk about evil. Try this link for example http://www.trance-formation.com and then tell us all about evil you uninformed ignoramus.
You amadán.
You have no idea, do you, of what's outside your cosy existence. Evil is real, it happens. The US at present is our only defence against the horror most of humainty exists under.
Get real! It's not a game.
one who presses their own will on a population without regard to democracy.
this is done in some countries by the crude use of violence and torture.
In others by sheer arrogance, highly paid PR, corrupt legal systems and orchestrated police suppression of protest.
The most succesful dictatorships are the ones that cloak themselves from by the masses until it becomes too obvious too late.
I think you are confusing late 1960's with early 21 Century - and nobody mentioned dictators on this thread - so why are you mentioning longhairs and dictators in same thread about dail - is nixon haunting you?
SWP abandoned a perfectly good siege of the Dail on the day of the vote. And are they now going to do something half-assed to try to save face?
The RBB party should cop itself on and either do a determined demo or none at all. publicity is nice, but being effective is better.
Have a full on sit down blockade. Assert your right to peaceful protest and do not be baited by rough-handling (know that it is a deliberate ploy)
Keep cameras rolling for Insp Keenan and his gestapo tactics (he rarely gets his own hands dirty)
pity cant be there

Riot police there but no riot - swp showboating and no attempt being made at a genuine blocade - basically an edgy papersale with 1000+ ppl taking part
with all these long haired middle class layabouts around who wouldn't recognise what an evil dictator was unless he did something very very nasty to their family while being forced to watch.
riot police, many arrested
