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.

when we're not busily opressing women we're worshiping anicent occult gods, enslaving the palestinian people, giving stakeknife a new idenity. yadda yadda yadda
It is better to raise this by contacting the mailing lists, as the newswire should be kept for news items. You'll also get a quicker response, and avoid the silly comments about oppressing (whoever it is today) added by others.
Articles already published on other IMC newswires shouldn't be republished here. We adopt this approach because there are numerous organisations and individuals that try to dominate the network by abusing the open publishing network.
But with hindsight, this is a borderline case, as the connection to the Irish group was made (albeit in a single line, followed by the copied article). So it's not a typical case of the global spammers, I accept. I would not object to this article being 'unhidden' (now we have the gee whiz technology to do that in a flash) if any other editor wants to do so. (be they male or female)

i never knew we did those things, I am shocked & suffering a crises of peer identity, to think there I was happily spending a few minutes daily for over a year leaving bits of text with unknown persons on the internet thinking they were fairly representative of the Irish "left" and "yungpeople" and it turns out only after the skilled hackers in the flowing coats and shades have got Oscailt4 the grooviest operating system ever :-) together that IMC Ireland is in fact an occult God cult.
And you are our god....or at least our mascot
Point taken re mailing lists but we were asked to post the article by the women on the 'Invest in Caring Not Killing' anti-war picket in London because they were having trouble posting on UK indymedia. Regrading silly comments, I'm afraid we don't take any notice, they don't register. Can IMC eds re-post the headline with a link to the UK indymedia news report and our original one line comment?
Whatever about global spammers, there is a wider issue here as to whether indymedias are just re-producing the separatism of national boundaries and how it is possible to move forward beyond that. The women on the picket in London have been physically threatened by roving gangs of police and the man who has lived at that peace camp, singlehandedly maintaining it for so long, was seriously assaulted. We don't regard their lives and appeals for support for them as any less important for us in Ireland than the doings of any Irish group. It's quite unfortunate for the movement in Ireland if the major news outlet for it limits the internationalism of that movement.
We've already had responses from Derry, Galway and Clare from people wanting to support the picket and peace camp or take part in it. We would not have had this if the article was only posted on UK indymedia, which people may not look at with as much regularity. All are welcome to join the picket and/or the camp and give them support and a number of us from Ireland have done so several times already. If anyone wants to join or speak out and happens to be in London, the picket's on between 5.30 and 7pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays, directly opposite the Houses of parliament - with a very loud mic that can be heard inside parliament!
"there is a wider issue here as to whether indymedias are just re-producing the separatism of national boundaries and how it is possible to move forward beyond that"
it's not about boundaries; there is no bar to stories about non-Irish events. But when an organiser of a rally (for example, it didn't happen in this case by any stretch) posts a report to multiple IMC newswires, it pollutes the open space that Indymedia creates. Everyone thinks their event is the most important thing in the world ever, so we can't then allow crossposted notices for only the important events.
Ultimately "the movement", as you put it, is multiple movements, and it is essential not to allow a small handful of authors with computer access and time (think Hatrackman, Jon Chance, the Proudhoun stuff, Adrian More, etc etc) to monopolise it. They (and their adherents) would see their posts as being of such importance to the international movement that their articles simply must be distributed to every newswire - including the non-English language ones - putting a burden on new and underresourced IMCs. Which, thankfully, is not something the author of the GWS article did. As I have already said, the article that you're concerned about will be unhidden when another editor does so, for the reasons I gave.
