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.

Sadiq Khan?s officials suppressed taxpayer-funded research that showed low traffic neighbourhoods (LTNs) do not reduce car use after the London Mayor spent five years baselessly claiming LTNs are good for the planet.

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.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13are the only people likely to have their interests aroused by this exhibitionist display of public nudity. Anyone out walking with their kids would do well to stay clear , not just because of the naked attention seekers and their display, but the perverts wholl be lurking about.
Chances are too if this is the animal rights crowd "curvy" is actually a thinly veiled code for FAT.
Down with this sort of thing.
Hopefully tubby will get arrested for some form of public order offence..maybe a lewd display of cellulite in public?
I can imagine the comments of the arresting cops..
I have to admit I do find it funny reading things like 'keep your children away, nudity is the devils work, hide your shame' type crap here on IMC.
theres nothing wrong with nudity in an appropriate context ie beach, the home, late night telly ,or even a dodgy club with consenting adults if thats really your bag...man.
But im sure many would agree advertising the fact that theres going to be some doll in the nip covered with chains in the middle of Dublin city centre in the middle of the afternoon just isnt right. Call me old fashioned, but naked bondage and S&M scenarios (shell be covered in bruises too !!) arent really appropriate for kids.
Most sensible people would agree, that is unless your name is Herman, you like to wear rubber from head to toe and you own your own dungeon.
Kids shouldnt have to look at that, never mind the fact that half the perverts in this country (which seems to be utterly plagued by the bastards )will be beating a path to Stephens green. Anyone out walking with their kids could end up standing beside god knows who, doing god knows what and who knows what type of foul comments might be made in front of them. The fact that theyre advertising this half baked stunt well in advance will absolutely guarantee a sleazy element lurking about.
Anyone with an entrepreneurial bent should be on hand selling leather gimp masks and whips, as Im sure therell be no shortage of interested buyers, wholl just happen to be strolling by , on their lunch hour.
My advice to Al and his muchachos is to have a big net handy on wednesday and head for the green, theyll clear up every flasher and fiddler in one swoop.
Circuses dont beat up women, full stop.
If this "curvy" lady (sounds like that comes out of the same code book as "bubbly" and "good personality" - the word attractive wasnt mentioned ) wants to highlight circus animals plight why not do it properly and get either a grizzly bear or a big elephant outfit. Chances are shed fit into it without a problem.
must say well done when i read this news piece. unfortunately it takes stunts like this to get the media and the public to STAND up and pay attention to what they are trying to get attention for and that is to stop the use of animals in circuses who have deprived these animals of their freedom and i do agree beatings and stuff are taking place, well done again guys thumbs up i say
Surely there is a better way to highlight causes about animal cruelty than combining a nude woman with bondage, voyeurism and degrading behaviour. This is shameful for all women and it is quite disgusting that she has felt she has to drop to this sort of behaviour for support. I bet it is men running the circus in any case.
this female doing this has volunteered to do something to get attention for a serious cause, the animals dont ever get to volunteer - have a bit of common sense u lunatic whoever u arse.
in the nip in Limerick when she John Carmody and another were standing around in Cruises street on a Saturday morningMostly being ignored or riducled by the general public.They didnt hang around very long either.Maybe the animal nazis are kinky perves into S&M and gave her a jolly good seeing to before taking her out into the street for a public show.
Life would be so boring if it weren't for losers like you. Great to see you are still active only from your computer.
Animal nazis and kinky perves into S&M? You know how the saying goes..... sticks and stones may break our bones, but whips and chains excite us. But it still beats suspiciously stained mac wearers who get excitement from spying on people from the distance!
But remember one thing.... we never give up and we always win!!!
Anyone who intends to reply to Sabwatch's replies, don't bother. Your best bet is to ignore him. He's like an annoying itch that just won't go away. He also uses different names. But it's still easy to spot his childish drivel as his comments are usually about the same crap over and over again.
You must be getting under the animal libbers skin.If they have to resort to insults of the childish nature. Obvisouly they DO have somthing to hide,like their more nastier plans in the upcoming years.Dont worry I have been infiltrating their groups as well for years.You aint alone.
Our day will come!!
Here we go again..... Could it possibly be Sabwatch under a different name again? Hmmm, most definitely!!! And he'll come back with his usual reply when trying to say that it's not him...........yawn!
All the slaggers who have dismissed this protest probably admire the H block hunger strikers some of who went naked for years refusing to wear prison clothes. They also smeared their own shit on the walls. I know many of my friends who have no sympathy for the IRA or SF but admire the courage of the hunger strikers.
But the same people are mocking this protest. Irregardless of the issue I admire anyone who is willing to protest naked in this weather and with the prudish attudes of irish people and put up with the taunts that she had to suffer. If we are progressives we should only be concerned about the health risks to this animal liberation activist.
