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.

Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

Abair sin leis an 3.2-5milliúin teifeach Palaistíneach.
Thiocfadh liom leanúint ach tá sé ró-luath sa maidin.
Tá aistriúchán déanta agam ar altanna eile atá scríofa agam go dtí seo, ach leis an fhírinne a rá "I dont have the time" chun aistriúchán a dhéanamh ar ghach alt a scríobhaim d'Indymedia.
Má tá fonn ar éinne eile an alt a aistriú go Béarla tá fáilte róimh.
Ó seo amach déanfaidh mé foclóir/glossary a chur ag deireadh mo chuid altanna agus má tá am agam iad a aistriú.
Caithfidh tú aird a thabhairt don Ollphuctiúr. Mionsonrai, a mhac.
I ndáiríre a Sheáinín ba bhreá liom dá mb'fhíor a bhfuil ráite agat. Mar sin féin níl mórán dóchais agam ina thaobh.
Cinnte níor tógadh an Róimh i gcúrsa lae ach séard atá ag tarlúint ar an Bhruach Thiar ná go bhfuil cúrsaí ag goil in olcais ar chúpla bealach. I dtoiseach báire tá rialtas Iosraela fós ag tógáil tithe nua sna cóilíneachtaí, rud atá faoi throimeasc de réir léarscáil an bhóthair, agus níos tábhachtaí fós, tá siad ag tógáil balla ollmhór sa Bhruach Thiar a thachtachaidh cuid mhaith de na bailte agus sráidbhailte Palaistíneacha agus a scriosfaidh cuid mhaith den talamh is fearr nó a chuirifidh bac ar na feirmeoirí goil air.
Ní dóigh liom gur comharthaí iad seo go bhfuiltear chun deireadh an cos-ar-bolg a fheiceáil.
Caithfidh rialtas Mheiriceá stad a chur leis na rudaí seo nó ní bheidh toradh ar bith le léarscáil an bhóthair. Dar ndóigh d'fhéadfainn a lán rudaí a ráit fán léarscáil chéanna agus tá sé lán fabhtanna ach mar sin féin dá mbeadh rialtas Mheiriceá sásta brú a chur ar Iosrael agus páirt a ghlacadh mar réiteoir chothrom ar chuir i bhfeidhm an léarscála is cinnte go dtiocfadh feabhsú mór ar chúrsaí. Chomh fada agus is féidir a ráit fán am seo, ní fhuil a leithéid ar siúl go fóill.
Tá na fadhbanna seo feicthe againn roimhe seo: b'iad a leithéid de fhadhbanna a mhill próiséas Oslo mar chuaigh saol na bPalaistíneach in olcais, tóigeadh cóilíneachtaí thart fán Bhruach Thiar agus bóithrí do Ghiúdaigh amháin ar fud na háite mar áis dóibh, agus tugadh an t-uafás talún do lucht na gcóilíneachtaí - é seo agus an dá pháirtí in ainm is a bheith i mbun próiséas réitithe don chomrac. Más amhlaidh a tharlaíonn le léarscáil an bhóthair fosta ní bheidh rath ar bith air.
Dála an scéil níor thug tú freagra ar bith ar an chás a rinne Seán san alt, mar atá, nach ndéanann léarscáil an bhóthair aon soláthar do chearta na dteifeach Palaistíneach.
Nior thógadh an Róimh in aon lá amháin. Is féidir leat bheith ag gearán faoi na mionsonraí ach tá an pictiúr mór ag an t-Uachtaran Bush agus a lucht chuideachta. Aontaim leat go bhfuil aicme mór san Iosrael a dtéann thar barr agus gur mhaith leo na Pailistínigh a dhibirt as an dtír go deo. De bhrí go bhfuil córas daonlathach acú thall caithfidh an rialtas cluas a thabhairt dóibh agus dul i ngleic leis na sceimhlitheoirí sa chaoi amhain is féidir leo.
Amhail an scéal inár dtír féin, beidh tuilleadh foiréagan sula réiteofaí an cheist. Bíodh mar atá, a bhuíoch leis an t-Uachtarán Bush agus an léarscáil bhóithre tá gach dealramh ann go mbeidh síochán buan ann i gceann cúpla blian.
chaith Iosrael dhá bhliain go leith i mbun troda fíochmhara i gcoinne na sibhialtach Palaistíneach, á marú, á ngortú, ag leagan a dtithe, ag scriosadh a maoin, ag cur a gcuid toibreacha ó mhaith, ag imirt scrios ar a dtailte, agus focal ní dhúirt an tUachtarán caoin cróga Bush ach amháin go mba chóir do na Palaistínigh ligint den scéimhlitheoireacht agus fáil réidh lena nUachtarán. Fad is a bhí na ngníomhartha gaisciúla seo á ndéanamh ag arm Iosraela bhí an tUachtarán Bush ag maoimh gur 'fear síochána' Ariel Sharon - feolaire Qibya agus riaghaire Ghaza - agus bhí sé ag íoc as arm Iosraela a choinneáil i riocht troda agus geilleagar Iosraela a choinneáil ó leabaidh an bháis.
Anois agus léarscáil an bhóthair glactha ag na Palaistínigh tá an tUachtarán Bush fós ag íoc as dúnmharthóirí Fhorsaí Chosanta Iosraela agus tá siad siúd fós ag leagan tithe na bPalaistíneach, tá siad fós ag reubadh a dtailte, tá na cóilíneachtaí fós a dtógail ar thalamh ghoidte na bPalaistíneach agus tá na mílte Palaistíneach fós i gcarcair agus i campaí géibhinn Iosraela gan triail ná ionchúisiú ná cúis ar bith.
A Sheáinín dhíl, má smaoiníonn tú go bhfuil an fhadhb réitithe de bharr an Uachtarán shéimh Bush agus léarscáil an bhóthair s'aige, cuimhnigh go bhfuil léarscáil eile, léarscáil éagsúil go leor, fós á chur i bhfeidhm go fisiceach sa Phalaistín, agus in ainm dílis Dé múscail!
Tá an obair déanta roimhe seo ag Uachtarán Bush. Is léir go nglacann gach taobh leis an léarscáil bhóithre agus go bhfuil dúil síochana ag ceachtar acu.
Tá dóchas ann anois, a bhuíoch leis an Uachtarán Bush.
No one disputes the right of individuals to post news in our native tongue but for simple factor of circulation perhaps some bi-lingual option may be of more use to both the author and the reader. From what I can gather the article looks interesting, fact of the matter is I dont have the time to go and brush up me gaeilge for the sake of a few articles on indymedia. Brón!
Just an notion
Ainilís chruinn agus tomhaiste.
