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 7 8 9 10There was video footage on TV3's Week in Review last night that seemed to be new. Any idea where that was from? Showed more police violence at Monday's protest.
I think that indymedia ireland should play this footage via a public screening, we all need to see all of the footage.
Although you're rightly angry about the awful thing that has been done to the woman in the picture ( I hope that she has lots of friends looking after her right now), what you're coming across like is the Garda that did this to her. Probably they believe in the inhumanity of the woman, that's what allowed them to beat her: they, the Gardai are damaged people (probably it's hard not to get that way in the job) and reacting like that to them does no good.
I'm unsure about whether you're someone that's really angry and upset, or whether you're someone trying to make indymedia.ie look like its populated by nutters. If you're really angry then I'm sorry. But I don't agree with what you wrote and most other people probably don't. We feel rage and anger at the Gardai, and at the people that control them, and the system that makes them do this. But we don't want to kill them.
HI,
Just some techie advice. You would be better off encoding using RealEncoder at 20kpbs at 192 X 144 frame size. Play directly into the encoder via compression card. Dont record as avi first. Select video at 12 kps and 8kps audio for superior results.
For some reason indymedia UK site wont host real movie files.
for good guality download MPEG video
A PUBLIC SCREENING IS BEING ARRANGE for Media, public, Legal teams and Garda (Hi, we know you`ll be there, Maybe you could bring along some of your CCTV footage!)
We will be playing all of our video uncut!
we have nothing to hide
Lets see your CCTV footage (uncut)if you have nothing to hide!
I'm sorry about that,and,indeed,in retrospect,one lone individual can be used as ammo by the likes of P.J Stone,such is their psychotic intranigence.My utmost apologies.
Fact was,if I can see a thug beating a girl,now that makes my blood boil.The fact that it was a cop,paid for by tax payers money...I nearly burst a brain vessel.I don't like getting headaches.
I hope the poor wee girl is alright.Furthermore,I hope she is one of the "upper,middle class,D4 hippy,who knows nuh'in 'bout reelty"(the sort of thing some smartarse was writing in.)If this is so,then her family can afford to pay for justice through the courts.
I don't have a headache any longer.Again,sorry about that,and thank you for yourcalm response.Your all great people.Good luck,and hugs and kisses to the poor wee lass.
the above is in relation to verging on blood lust comments of mine in relation to a posting of mine taken by the moderator,and responded by a Mr.Phuq Head.Fair play,sorry.cool... ;0)
anyone notice who that blueshirted bastard is going to work on that young one?he's the fella, the rear of whos head can be seen just above the bloke in the green pilot jacket.
unless im very much mistaken its that guy who was going around on the day with the hitler-youth haircut with the look of a rabid dog in his eye.
my, my, but didn't he keep himself busy?
jesus-just saw the videofootage and its the first moving pics ive seen of the whole demo.one word-MOTHERFUCKERS.
