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 10 11Good report. Pity they beat us (SWP) in a fair few constituencies including my own in Cork and ugly to see Aine Ni Chonaill just beat us......but we are growing and hopefully we and others will stamp out this shite over the next 5 years.
Michael.
I was down at the count for a while and noticed a lot of Aengus O'Snodaighs votes had Aine ni Chonaill at 2 / 3 / 4. (not scientific - just watching the count for a while).
This seems to be borne out by the 20% transfer to SF from her votes.
This is not bashing SF (I've never met a racist member of SF and know a few) - more just wondering.
I don't suppose there are any figures for SF transfers going to a racist candidate? (or even tally figures?)
well SF are a fascist party, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that their members also like the Immigration Control Platform.
i didnt know there was a political party formed to stop irish people immigrating to the UK AND USA. watever will we see next. U KNOW ZE FUHRER HAZ ONLY ONE BALL AND IZ A BIG MUMMIES BOY.
You can't really extrapolate from Ní Chonaill's transfers to Sinn Féin what Sinn Féin transfers to Ní Chonaill may have been. A case in point is the transfer pattern between SF and Green candidates. SF transfers in all constituencies where the occasion arose were very favourable to Green candidates. However, Green transfers weren't particularly favourable to SF.
I think the presence of SF may well capture an alienated anti-establishment vote some of which would otherwise perhaps be willing to go to an anti-immigrant candidate. That would pobviously be consistent with a proportoin of SF no. 1 voters giving Ní Chonaill a preference further down. So perhaps we should be grateful to the Sinners! After all, Áine Ní Chonaill herself accused SF of having a policy of 'Brits out, Nigerians in'...
Deal in facts on important issues.
Fact 1: 19 of Brid Smith SWP transfers went directly to Ni Chonail....What is that about.... a women's vote?
In the same constituency Worrkers party candidates gave her over 23
Fact 2: When Ni Chonails 900 + votes were distributed over 140 went to the two labour candidates.
Maybe the slightly higher transfer to Sinn Fein is a gaeilge thing! O Snodaigh and Ni Chonail were the only two irish names on paper. I'm actually being serious here when you are dealing in small numbers anything is possible.
In Cork North Central Mick Barry of Socialist Party stood. He was eliminated with just over 1000 votes 100 of these went to O' Callaghan and over 50 went to O' Flynn !!! now explain that
Anyone wanting a comprehensive transfer breakdown check rte election site

Comments above answer my question.
The pitiful showing of Swp, while Sinn Fein, the party of James Connolly, made a significant breakthrough shows the stupidity of the 'theory' which the Swp believes in. Their neglect of Connolly while allowing a few third-rate English academics to develop their theoretical position shows that their minds have been colonized, and that they richly deserve to be where they now are-the dustbin of history. But no doubt their leader, Eamonn McCann, will continue his attacks on Sinn Fein in the capitalist press.
Sinn Fein is not the party of James Connolly. Since SF insists on being the oldest, etc. political party in Ireland it is worth noting that Connolly was extremely critical of Sinn Fein in his time. In fact the Labour Party was set up by Connolly, so it has a better claim to direct succession.
I'm not in any party, by the way. But please don't try to pull fast ones like that. Don't insult peoples' intelligence.
So if Sinn Fein is the party of Connolly, then I imagine that Gerry's visit to the WEF in New York was drawing on Connolly's classic pamphlet "Attracting multinational investment by offering low wages, low taxes and anti-union clauses." I think not. Even in Connolly's day Sinn Fein was a party of the nationalist bourgeouis, never a socialist party (refer to what Pearse had to say about the 1913 lockout). Furthermore it is simply crass racism to think that the crapness of the SWP's politics is due to the fact that they are somehow 'English' ideas. Ideas have no country and the Irish are good enough at thinking up crap ideas, for example thinking that Sinn Fein is a socialist party while Gerry sips champers at the WEF and 40,000 cops batter and arrest any normal people who try to get anywhere close to the venue.
Connolly and Adams may both have been born on the same sodden, windswept lump of muck on the edge of the Atlantic, but that's about all they have in common.
You will always get some transfers going to candidates that are totally opposed to the eliminated candidate, I was at the count in Dublin South and seeing how some people transfered it was amazing.
However there are certain trends that can be taken from transfer tallies. To get a true picture you'd have to look at how SF transfered elsewhere in the country, I do suspect that a sizable proportion of SF votes go to racist candidates. SF are a nationalist party and despite what they say many of their supporters and activists would have anti immigration sentiments.
