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.

British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
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.

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.

That seemed like a piece of news to me, IMCer, you're the one discussing things, i think that the term i'm looking for is...go and shite, it is a habit traditionaly associated with trolls after all.
but speeders put other peoples lives at risk. better it be done by a private company than not at all.
someone who calls themself "IMCer" is not automatically speaking with a great booming editorial voice! (Normally) people volunteering with the site aren't as obnoxious...unless you poke us with a big stick.
However the point that was made, albeit in a stupid and abusive fashion, was that a two-sentence story about what you heard on the radio is not really news, interesting as that news bulletin might have been. If this was purely a form then a discussion-starter like this would be appropriate but in terms of news this is fairly remote from what Indymedia's supposed to be about.
You are apparently concerned about the brevity of the post. There are similar length posts this morning on Aceh and Indymedia being banned from Google which received no such criticism!
Worthy stories but not local news.
In terms of relevance, the story is local and relevant (criteria oft stated by IMC), and not a cut and paste job (again a requirement of IMC), and the few lines summarise exactly what was heard on the Radio this morning!
So what's your problem?
Daithi wasnt attacking you, my reading of his comments were as friendly advice.
Thank you Pat. It's unfair when anyone posts a comment attacking a user, especially when they do it as "IMCer" (though you and kokomero and Avi H and even Jon Chance and Hatrackman and the rest of them are as much IMCers as I am). I was trying to explain why stories with original information rather than just a reference are better...it is a suggestion not a policy, and certainly no reason for "IMCer" to attack Kokomero. I don't have a 'problem' with anyone or anything...in fact my response was rather tongue in cheek (i.e. I don't really expect to be poked with a stick). Regarding the other posts mentioned above; the Aceh story is exceptionally dumb (the effort that goes into 'why are there no stories on X' could be better spent on writing a story on X....), and the Google ban is just a link and a sentence; not the best example of news, but I only stepped in here because of the unfair attack by IMCer. At one stage myself (and others) went around putting comments on all copied, over-short, etc. stories suggesting originality...but it's boring, slightly antagonistc, and turns you into a snarling grumpy giy.
and little gnomes stay in their homes.
stay. in their homes.
STAY in their homes.
en sus casas estan.
That's 'git', not 'giy'. (Or 'gnome', come to think of it, Iosaf..that's your trademark)
gnomeward bound.
sure you didnt mean goy daithi? hmm, the mask is slipping! the zog leadership of imc is exposed!

HEADLINE: Lights, camera, and, er, action
BYLINE: By IAN NOCTOR

Following the Minister for Transport's call for an expanded bus corridor network, it would seem that while there are only three active fixed cameras to slow motorists down, there's another set of cameras in the Dublin area aimed at increasing traffic speed. Mr Brennan wants to see more Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs) in Dublin and to introduce them to Cork and Galway over the next 12 months. Speaking at the launch last Monday he said a more "aggressive" approach was required to satisfy the growing demand for public transport. No doubt the State's first comprehensive set of guidelines governing traffic management was influenced by information gathered by these "other" cameras.
Big brother has been monitoring motorists on the Malahide to Amiens St route in Dublin on a daily basis. But there's no risk of them getting a speeding fine. The Dublin City Council cameras are there principally to record bus times on the QBC and although the project has only been in operation for a few weeks, initial results are proving interesting.
According to Brendan O'Brien of the Council's Traffic department, at peak times buses complete the journey in half the time it takes a car. On the Fairview to Amiens St QBC there is only a small variation in the time it takes the bus to complete the journey on or off peak.
O'Brien says the cameras are helping DCC to pinpoint the areas where buses are not moving as quickly as they could be. These bottlenecks will be examined to see if there is a means to give buses priority over other forms of transport to further reduce the bus journey time.
There are plans to extend the pilot scheme to the city's other bus corridors but it hasn't yet been decided if new cameras will be bought for each route or whether the existing cameras will be moved once all the necessary data has been collected.
So, whether it's to slow traffic down or speed it up one thing is for sure, Big Brother is watching. And rest assured, there'll soon be nowhere he can't see you . . . if there's film in the camera.
goy is short for goyim = gentile.
goy is literally nation or people
This is a step towards privatising the Gardai, soon loads of hairy farmer gardai blokes will be out of a job. Their jobs will go to private security companies who will work for less pay and worse conditions. Surely Gardai should be organising a strike against this, or do they just want to sit back and let private security companies steal their jobs. Somebody wake up the gardai and explain to them what's happening, gardai don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of privatisation.
