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 6 7I presume you can provide evidence to back yourself up in? Not that I am saying that this does not go on, but this appears more like opinion rather that fac. Factual reporting woul dbe nice.
Who needs the Iraqi regime when we have Ireland's own version of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf right here on Indymedia.....
Except Mohammed is amusing, and has a little more integrity.
Factually speaking:
I counted 380 from FOX TV live footage of " the crowds" in Tahrir Square. Most of these were journalists or soldiers. Where are the other 5,000,000 liberated Iraqis?
How can this be reported as "crowds dancing in the streets"?
It is a Bush,Blair,Aherne,CIA,DEA,FBI MI5,MI6,USMC,USAF,USA,GB,PSYOPS ,Facist trick done with mirrors and computor graphics.Jeez i wonder how Steven speilberg is being paid for this?If you belive those pics are faked,I own a long tall spire in O Connell St Dublin that I would like to sell to you......
He points to the disparity between the obviously highly spun claims of jubilant Iraqis welcoming the victors and the actual visual evidence provided. He says that he counted 380 people in a small square. If you "Lone Gunman" or "King Mob" want to challenge this then you have to point to evidence that shows millions of grateful Iraqis.
Save your hysteria for the dead civilians or for the war-crimes committed by the US/K (thanks again iosaf!) who have targetted the water and electricity supplies in contravention of international law.
James puts spin on things, but he does use facts. You don't.
I am in fact trying to take the spin off this story.
The scenes in Tahir Sq were mostly manipulated for RTE and others so it seemed like a big crowd. From a greater distance it was possible to roughly count the crowd which I honestly attempted. I first estimated about 500 but as I counted more closely I came up with 380 but I'm no pope so this could be out by a couple of dozen maybe.
There were pictures of passing Iraqi waving from their cars to the TV cameras, which is not unusual in Iraq. There were a couple of young guys saying "down Saddam" and an old guy beating a picture of Saddam into strips. These images were repeated ad nauseum to give the "spin" that there was a bigger crowd.
Soldiers did not hang around in the Square and they were running for cover into hotels and banks to do their "interviews from the heart of the regime".
It's amazing how RTE vaunted this as "jubilant crowds" when they could sideline the protests we have held here against the war .
Did anyone hear the Dublin march of over 100,000 being called jubiant crowds calling for regime change?
Joe Duffy ended his show today with a woman reading from Isiah about a beast who lays the world to waste with war and does not even listen to his own people. It was meant to refer to Saddam but I think she perfectly described George Bush.
Did you ask her was she wearing her scapula Joe? Was Father Fortune wearing his when he jubilantly ......
I have no agenda to protect Saddam or his government but I do take an interest if my national broadcaster whose duty it is to relay the news faithfully to the Irish people starts to act in a very peculair fashion.
Remember the Belfast nationalist women making tea for the British troops in 1969?
