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.

I think you'll find with fish of the size you thought to be hooked (like blair and co) that fly and lure with net is better Eoin.
For Mr Blair we must spend a long time re-stitching the nets. In fact almost too long, which is why sometimes it is better to breed a predator.
Here's an article about Hutton from Indymedia UK....
God love you poor boy.
Blair got off scot free.
What are you gong to do about?
Wave some placards shout some slogans?
Meanwhile Tony and Cherie and gently titter as they have breakfast in bed and flick through the outraged polemic of the newspapers.
Tony turned to Cherie." Do you want to make love all afternoon baby?"
"You bet ya studmuffin!" she replies.
and then ,on the same day as the report is published , Blair and Hutton's fellow orangeman ,david Trimble, makes an attack on " the human rights industry ..... .one of the great curses of this world" Some coincidence.
see http://www.guardian.co.uk/humanrights
After putting all their eggs in the Hutton basket - which way will they turn now.
Socialist Worker No 1886 - 31 January 2004
BLAIR GETS AWAY WITH FEES AND MURDER
REGIME CHANGE NOW!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New left opposition launched - join the Respect coalition
THE RATS stayed aboard the sinking ship.
Tuesday's vote on top-up fees left Tony Blair and the New Labour clique holed below the waterline. But he survived because 85 percent of Labour MPs bailed him out by disgracefully voting to price working class children out of university.
And, in advance of the Hutton inquiry, they swore loyalty to the man who took us into the criminal Iraq war.
Against all this the launch of a new left wing election coalition is a beacon of hope. Some 1,500 people attended the founding of the Respect coalition last Sunday.
Film director Ken Loach told them, "There is no longer any democratic representation for working people. This Labour government has carried out an illegal war and privatisation, disregarded the rights of asylum seekers and become an agent of big business. We are creating a viable alternative to New Labour."
Mark Serwotka, general secretary of the PCS civil servants' union, said, "Do we want to restrict our choice to Blair, Howard or Kennedy? I defy anyone to say we do not need an alternative. We agree on so much. An alternative is possible."
Anti-war campaigner Salma Yaqoob said, "We have marched together in protest at the war. On the day of the European and London elections on 10 June we have to march together to the ballot box."
George Galloway MP, who was expelled from the Labour Party for opposing the war, is part of the Respect coalition. He told Socialist Worker, "New Labour in both its wings-Blair and Brown-has betrayed the country and its students. The Respect coalition is the historic work of a new political force.
"If we can keep our unity, we can turf out of their seats those who have misgoverned the country."

This story is entirely a media frenzy and does not interest working class people in the slightest. Unfortunately, nobody has a lot of sympathy for someone who takes the easy way out and kills themselves (unless they're a schoolkid).
David you have some cheek to write that nobody has sympathy for someone who takes the easy way out aka suicide. Have you any idea what its like to be mentally ill (apart from your obvious sociopathic tendencies)and live in torture and see no way out of the misery it makes your life????
Do you KNOW anyone who has committed suicide? I have had 2 friends kill themselves at age 16 and 18yrs old, one drowned in Blessinton lakewhile the other lad hung himself from the attic door and was found by his parents. Have you any idea what the families go through??? You are such an ignorant asshole to have said what you did.
Suicide victims and their families deserve sympathy and understanding not derision from the stupid and ignorant.
f~~~ you and your 'working class' bullshit. your nothing but an ignorant fool - not some self-styled spokesperson for the 'working class'. Dont be so arrogant to think your lack of sympathy (or lack of experience in the reality of suicide) can be extended to anyone else.
note to IMC:
if you remove this comment due to blatant use of expletives, remove DC's post for blatant show of ignorance. cheers and apologies.
Why the hell argue with stupid and ignorant people?
You can't change their opinions no matter how hard you try!
Laugh at them instead and when you get bored ignore them.
The war against Saddam Hussein needed no argument to support it.
Neither did the war against Hitler.
Imagine some idiot in London in 1940 after a devastating biltz by the Nazi airforce screaming about nonviolence, love thy enemy and peace!
Funny isn't it!
Imagine 100,000 dyed in the wool Left winger and Communists declaring themselves "neutral" while siding against the United States against a right wing government while TOTALLY ignoring A FACSIST TYRANT in Iraq who needed overthrowing. Imagine extremist communists calling for extremist fascists to be spared!!!
That's funny!
I never thought pigs would fly but they did!
Bush never made the mistake of believing his arguments would persuade anyone on the hard Left. He knows they think any one who doesn't worship Lenin and Marx is a skinhead Nazi so why bother?
Bush can say " I was never THAT sure about weapons of mass destruction. I was just following the evidence available at the time."
Blair however had to convince his followers like Galileo tried to convince the Inquisition that the earth was not the centre of the universe.
The Inquisition had the Bible given them by God so they didn't believe Galileo.
The Left have Marx and Lenin who KNEW EVERYTHING!
Blair said "let's draw a line and move on."
I'll run that through the translation machine
What Blair really said was ---------------------------- I WON AND YOU LOST!
MUHUHUHUHAHAHHHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Better luck next time!
The Left made complete fools of themselves fawning over Saddam and then getting involved with Islamic extremists in a Muslim protest over headscarves. They have zero credibility with the public now.
Pinochet (whose son is serving time now for selling second hand cars illegaly) has been declared fit yet again for trial, and though his daughter Lucia has protested, it just goes on and on.
The ex-General just doesn't seem to be getting his trial, who would have thought the final TV drama would take such a nailbiting length of time?
Blair has returned from holidays in Egypt where he went within three hours of learning of the Tidal Wave and and less than one hour after reading the western alert that an earthquake type thingy was due in the region of the islands which boast port Blair where the first blair (not george orwell blair) built a prison for the east india company a long time ago.
Alex jones (not the welsh christmas singer) a parent of one of the now known to be 200 british victims of the natural disaster, has quite pithily said "the man has lost the plot".
Certainly Mr Kennedy of the Liberal Democrats and Mr Howard of the Conservatives seem to agree.
Mr Blair has now appointed a new intelligence supremo, the ex immigrant affair dude Bill Jeffries, lovely lad, who will replace will replace Sir David Omand, who retires at Easter. the time we wonder which came first the little chicken, the crucifixion or the nestlé egg.
here you can read the CV of the current PM of the collection of statelets with global responsibility and ties which border the sceptred isle of Erron which is quaintly called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

his next election will be called the day before his 52nd birthday.

"ever since Mr Blair won the selection for Labour leader after the sudden and tragic death of John Smith, Cherie has been compared to Hilary Clinton."
They're a lovely couple.
really they are.
But their work now is done.
