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: 5 4 3 2 1I was there at the massive Anti war Demo in London last Saturday and I have to say as an active Anarchist for many years who'se been on many a Demo in London over the years this was the biggest by a mile, really, really mother fucking big. A friend of my mine who works on the traffic cameras in London (Don't worry he's on our side) says that there was between 100,000 to 120,000 people participating in the Demo last Saturday. People like King Mob and Paul Kinsella can't really speak from experience as your only seeing reports on the Internet (Often very distorted and biased) about last Saturday's Demo and your only guessing from afar about what really happened. Now we're really delighted that you guys in Ireland care so passionately about the future of the planet. I have to say that while I don't agree with all of the aims and policies of the British Anti War Movement I and most of the Anarchists in London will support their Demos and Actions any time that they do call for a Mobilisation to Action. Ps. Keep up the good work on Indymedia Ireland. Keep up the Struggle!
Greetings,
Syd,
Ealing.
I was there for the demo, it was big, I'm not sure if 100,000 people is the right figure to put on it, it was certainly more than the 50,000 the bbc say were on it.
I'd saay around 75-80,000
yes that's generally how i work out how many people showed up.
media/garda underestimation + SWP overestimation x.5 = real number
Paul usually likes to inflate figures at demos.
To find the correct figure of how many people turned up at a rally we've devised this formula
let x equal the number of people the police say turned up
let y equal the number of people Paul says turned out.
x + y = A/2= B
B is the actual turnout.
And Paul you do this constantly.......
This was a brilliant turnout but I think you're being a bit cautious about the tremendous turnout in London yesterday. Here's another report about yesterday's Demo that I found on the Internet. Ps. I didn't see any of the news's yesterday what with the Election and all that. Was the Demo mentioned at all? Please let us know. Thanks.
100,000 March in London For Palestine.
LONDON -- The British capital on Saturday witnessed by far the biggest-ever peace rally in support of the Palestinians, reminiscent of the tumultuous days of the nuclear disarmament and anti-Vietnam war demonstrations of the 1960s.
The march, which set off from Hyde Park Corner at noon, is said to be twice larger than last month's rally in London, attended by more than 50,000 Palestinian sympathisers.
"We aim to show the British government that its pro-Israeli stance is out of step with public opinion," Palestine Solidarity Council secretary Betty Hunter said.
"The government must acknowledge Britain's historic responsibility for the dispossession of the Palestinians, stop betraying the Palestinians, withdraw our ambassador, stop arming Israel, stop buying arms from Israel and suspend trade agreements," she said.
The rally is being supported by Britain's main peace groups, including the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the (Iraqi) War Coalition, by trade unions, politicians, academics as well as Muslim organisations and anti-Israeli Jews.
A mix of students, trade unionists and seasoned campaigners heard calls for war crimes charges to be brought against those who had organised military actions in the Jenin refugee camp.
The PNC said that the line-up of support "reflects the unity between all sections of the community in calling for an end to Israel's occupation."
Crowds marched from Hyde Park, through the streets of central London carrying placards and waving flags before gathering in Trafalgar Square to hear speeches which demanded more action from the international community.
As well as expressing support for refugees and those who had lost their homes, marchers called for sanctions to be put in place until Israel agreed to a complete withdrawal from Palestinian territory.
Naomi Wayne, of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said: "We wanted to
show solidarity with the Palestinians.
"We want to see Israeli to withdraw to the 1967 borders, from the occupied territories.
"We want Israel to sit down and negotiate with the Palestinians so they can have their own state."
She added: "We want Israel to have a secure future, but this must not be at the expense of the Palestinians.
The organisers are laying down a challenge to the British media, especially the BBC, not to downplay the significance of the demonstration after virtually ignoring last month's rally.
The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said that it was "very disappointed at the low level press coverage" that was given to the last huge march as well as other rallies taking place in UK cities.
It said there was a "tremendous sign of solidarity between the people of Britain and the besieged Palestinians" following Israel's re-occupation of Palestinian towns.
"By its barbaric actions and its continual defiance of UN resolutions and most of the world opinion, Israel has isolated itself from the community of civilised nations," said MCB, Britain's main Muslim umbrella organisation.
