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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

I am just pissed off that a serious issue has been hijacked into anti-swp crap as as so much else on indymedia. the site is falling apart.
of course he is free to express his opinion. he is wrong though.
swp reaction to criticism: fascistic abuse and intimidation. you're a wanker, fuck off...
leave myles alone.
he is free to express his opinions.
Is that it? Sloganeering?
So you have no actual disagreement with the original post. So what is the point of all this?
And 'your' sloganeering?
Its the world against poor old Myles!
Ayone got anything helpful to contribute?
1 I'm not a wanker
2 I repeat, your sloganeering is simplistic and patronising
Myles, you are a wanker.
There is some of the worst rioting in thrity years happening in Belfast and it is spreading. The SWP are trying to agitate class unity in face of IRA/UVF sectarianism. What do you do? Criticise them because they are the SWP. No analysis or alternatives.
There is a war on. Our living standards and civil liberties are under attack. The Palestinaians are getting slaughtered. What is your contribution?SWP bashing. The Irish left is starting to get serious and organised. You are an irrelevance and rather than this being a thread of positive anti-bigoted ideas, we are dragged down to this.
Myles is someone who is so beaten and bitter about his own politics, the best he can do is attack some positive left wing ideas. You might disagree with the SWP's methods, but what could you possibly find wrong with the post? Be helpful on this or fuck off. Its too serious an issue for your delusional ravings.
He cannot be for real.
Speaking of articulating thoughts clearly, Myles, the only criticism you have made about this article is that it is from a SWP member. We understand you have a problem with that but do you have a problem with any of the content of the original post. Be coherent now...
what do you mean by troll? can't you articulate
your thoughts a bit more coherently?
Myles is mostly correct, the swmmers love issuing (and screaming) simplistic slogans that actually mean very little if subjected to any serious scrutiny. Half baked sloganeering such as 'Catholic and Protestant workers unite and fight' is actually insulting and patronising to workers from both communities. However it saves having to do a serious analysis and sounds a bit lefty, and it wont frighten off middle class labour and fine geal members, who the swm hope to recruit.
Aye, ok. I was there.And yes, it was great to see a timy general strike and people saw it as effective, at least in my workplace ( bus station). But mate, it was months ago and I think you should have open the debate earlier since you seem to be so involved in the issue ( well, issue is not really the right word).
Oh, and you forgot to mention prod kids who got stuff thrown at them while they were going to school on the Limestone Rd, between Newington St and Tiger Bay...and prod workers ( marks&spencer) being approched by the IRSP...the fear prods feel might seem weird and irrelevant but it is this feeling that the loyalists use: fear of your neighbours and fear of your "protectors" as well. I don't try to make prods being poor little victims but it is difficult for them to see an alternative to their daily situation. And no, they don't like the english, this is not the point ( some even dislike the queen, believe it or not). Enough with silly cliches.
One last word: this is so stupid to start again an argument against the SWP. I dislike them but I'd rather try to get some stuff going on along with them and even the SP rather than SF and the PUP...at least on this issue.
Is that all you can say? Come on, try to think a little bit harder.
This statement is bloody patronizing and I'm free to say it.
I think that Dan has a good point here. Regardless of one's views of the SWP, Dan is making a very valid arguement. The workers from both sides of the sectarian divide should unite and demand and end to violence from both sides.
Whilst I do not agree with the methods of the SWP and will express such a view when I see evidence of those methods, it is pointless and even counterproductive to mock a decent statement from anyone.
If you've got criticisms, it gives them more weight if they're relevant to the points being expressed.
to show some of englands-loyalist where the are at
isnt it amazing how anything can be turned into a anti swp discussion on this website....
Myles,
"can't cope with debate", debate would be your incisive 1st comment which said precisly what?
The man might be: right, wrong, misinformed or a fucking genius but it wasn't exactly productive on your part was it?
Oh yes, I'm a tool ?!
How the SWP works and why they can't cope with debate:
A centralized authority hands down the gospel to their lesser cadre, who in turn hand down the gospel in a very patronizing way to that non-descript blob, "the masses".
Ordinary members dress up in a fashion reminiscent of the 1930s and do their best rendition of how they imagine "the masses" to eat, drink and feel. Unfortunately, on the rare occasions they mix with the masses, they look kind of lost.
This is very subtle and useful stuff. I was particularly impressed by the originality
of the slogan. It really looks like you have found the way to unite the Northern Irish workers. The ruling classes are about to receive a major blow. Congratulations lads.
By the way, in britain and the north the main fighters against privatisation are the postal workers. Thats why I mention them.
I was meant to put that in but absolutely forgot.
