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.

the 'mercian nationalist party'
from the MNP site: "We have recently discovered another group working towards Mercian independence, the Mercian Socialist Party Whilst it appears they may be godless communists, we are willing to work with them in the struggle.
Have fun and remember, an INDEPENDENT MERCIA or DEATH."
i think the two of them are having a laugh.
.....is an imposter claiming to be a supporter of the Beshoffites?
He is in fact a member of the Loyal Order of Ramsden (Fish and Chippers to the Crown and the one true Taaffeta)
He will be battered on sight!!
Reports are reaching Indymedia of a Coup d'Etat in Beshoffs. Rebels who have held the statelet for the last few days were attacked with fish slices after being caught off guard. They were allegedly on the batter all night. Rebels have now reinforced the plaice and are responding with an iron fish.
we will not have peas in our time.
We are serious in our claims for independence. I swear comrades, we're not trying to COD you!
And we have no CHIP on our shoulder!
PEAS won't you help us?
To all you doubters I wish to assure you this is a genuine organisation working for self determination for the people of Mercia. I recently went on a fact finding mission to the area on behalf of the ILP and discovered that this organisation, established recently, has more members than the CWI has in England!(current membership 63)
"Working for the 'Federation' is distinctly unpopular in this area" stated local Coventry representative Mr A. Capp "the people want a workers party not an empire of British cultists!"
The above is clearly a spoof.
However, I wish to announce that we in the SP have taken stock of the new situation facing us. The objective situation has decisively changed. New class battles impend in the coming period. We are in a period of sharp turns and sudden changes. Conditions are ripening for the most revolutionary period in human history - these will be the red 2000s. Only the SP has correctly analysed these processes. A bold socialist programme is needed.
Thus, we are rebranding ourselves to be at the forefront of these developments. Henceforth we wish to be known as the Society for the Hindrance of International Toryism (for short, read SHIT).
A new Party has been formed with the formal unification of the SP (Ireland) SP (England and Wales) and the International Socialists (Scotland). The Federation of International British Revolutionaries (FIBBERS-CWI) will represent the interests of all workers in the British Isles. The FIBBERS accepted that they had a long way to go in winning the support of all these workers, but with the coming crisis of British capitalism, it was inevitable that new layers of workers and youth would flock to their banner. As evidence of this FIBBERS spokesperson Peter Haddock pointed out that two schoolboys from Portmarnock Commmunity College had taken an anti-war leaflet from FIBBERS yoof rep, John Wayne last week.
Haddockalso took the opportunity to denounce the well known Scottish counter- revolutionary-bourgeois-nationalist-deviationist Tommmy Sheridan 'Its obvious Sheridan has sold out on the working class, thats why so many of them vote for his party. The worst thing is, we thought him and his SSP mates everything they know and what do they go off and do? Yep, build a mass party full of working class people and do really well in elections. Now you'd never find a section of the CWI doing that that sort of thing!'
Apllications to join the new party should be sent to Pater Taffeta, Federation House, London, (Reallly, reallly) Great Britain.
Paidi an Fhile has been elected Saoi of the Republic of Muskerry. His deputy is Maire an Mhaistreas and the Muskerry Dail will sit at the old Irish college in Ballyvourney (Baile Bhuirne).
We declare our fraternal solidarity with the Republic of Beshoffs as long as they desist from straying into our fisheries at Ballingeary and Inchigeelagh.
The Republic of Muskerry retains its traditional borders from the village of Carrigrohane to the Kerry County Bounds. The area around Rathmore and Kilgarvan in the royalist Kingdom of Kerry remains in dispute.
We immediately demand the repatriation of all Muskerry hurlers from the Cork team. They will play in the all Muskerry finals between Ballingeary and Coolea next month. Bets can be placed at the counter in the Mills Inn or the petrol station in Kilnamartyra.
Woah, this is way off the radar.
You've just got a chip on your shoulder. Go back to Russia!
The Socialist Republic of Beshoffs (SRB) hereby expresses it's solidarity with the struggle of the people of muskerry for independence.
Páidi - will you be claiming sovereignty over Muskerry Estate in Ballincollig as well? Thus does another empire begin...
Of course there is the whole matter of the People's Republic of Cork - would they claim Ballincollig too? And if they did, what position should lefties take?
Were the Empire Socialists of Hadden responsible for Indy being off the ether? Another denial of sevice attack by them.
Newsflash: The IRSB (Independent Republic of Socialist Beshoffs) has declared the independence of Beshoffs, in a bold stab at the heart of the imperialist occupying forces.
For too long Beshoffites have been oppressed by Westmorlandia, which occupies the whole street on which the oppressed beshoffs lies. The Westmorlandian government is obviously an imperialist tool of the much larger Templebaria, which in an outrageous case of neo-imperialism is forcing it's boozy imperialist lifestyle and excess hordes of American Tourists into frequent invasions of Beshoffs.
Struggle for an independent beshoffs!
Beshoffites of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but the herion addicts washing their needles in your vinegar.
*swoons*
The ancient region of Muskerry hereby cedes from the land of Ireland.
We proclaim the City of Ballymakeera as our grand capital. The provisional government is now retiring to Scannell's Bar to draw up a new Constitution for the Republic of Muskerry.
Maggie would you feed the greyhounds and put on the dinner there like a good woman!
but of course i support self determination for mercia. provided they dont call for a socialist federation of the british isles ;)
I'm all for supporting national liberation when there is real ethnically based oppression going on, (however only as stepping stone to further class based liberation). However the people of mercia are no more being oppressed than any other part of england. I mean I support their struggle against the powers that be but I think their energies could be better spent on a longer term goal other than just creating another nation state.
Tell that to Tommy Sheridan
Look out they are behind you.
I can assure you this is not a 'piss take'. Mercia is an ancient nation that has been oppressed by the English for centuries.
Just wondering which section of the Empire loyalists is pissed off enough by the SSP to be bothered to do this.
Why oh why the SWP and CWI just don't get together I don't know.
This is a piss-take right?
"The special letters "þ" and "ð" neccesary for writing Mercian are not on so-called "United" Kingdom keyboards. Instead we are supposed to "make do" with this "digraph" of TH."
"The London army has many bases occupying Mercia, but the population is so subdued that rebellions almost never occur."
Almost never?
One of the funnier satire sites, I was half-way down the list before I was sure it was madness.
I've had a quick look at their website, they seem like a very genuine and sincere group and should be supported fully in their fight for national independence.
