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.

Jump To Comment: 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Planned by whom and for what reasons?
The NHS is planned but that doesn't mean it isn't a capitalist institution. By the way multinationals plan. In Russia different units made up that they had reached planned targets to avoid the Gulag.
Every capitalist economy has the potential to go from Russia pre-89 to Russia post-89. Oh and the problems did not come about because of 'the counter revolution' to capitalism. The crisis in the economy had little to do with democracy, why 1989 and not 1979 for instance?
We never said the Russia was an advanced economy. We said that as a planned economy & there were definite gains. The USSR was undemocratic which was the major reason for its colapse.
Russia is no longer a planned economny. The restoration of capitalism (which the SWP cheered on) is well established. The lives of those in eastern europe was not great prior to 1989, but now it is even worse as capitalism and its poverty & unemployment is restored.
Oh come come. Russia like China now was a bastion of progress - its 'workers state' economy so advanced it collapsed. Great.
Surely if you want to be opportunistic just keep repeating over and over again "its a degenerated workers state - Trotsky said so". What about China now wheres your support for deformed workers state - I can't hear it. Maybe you need to ask Taffe to come up with a position on it for you.
Cuba - yes its state capitalist, if Chomsky came we'd be all over that too
Does any member of the SWP seriously believe that the USSR was a capitalist state?
The State Capitalist theory was adopted by the Swimmers in an opportunistic attempt to get members in post war western Europe. Why bother trying to explain the nature of USSR when you can just label it Capitalist.
And why were the SWP all over that Public Meeting with Che Geuava's daughter a few months ago? Surely they believe that Cuba is Capitalist? Surely then they would sell their paper outside a meeting with G. W Bush's daughter!
I didn't write that last message since it only had one denunciation of the SWP in it. By the way I have just broke a fingernail because I was posting against those bastards. Its bloody Monday and thats down to those scum bags aswell.
Yes Mummy, just a minute...
I didn't write the last message.
I wish the SWP would disband it would make the work of those on the left much easier.
The SWP have turned hundreds (if not thousands) off left wing politics because of their tactics. Sell the paper and recruit, covergroups etc.....
Have SWP members ever wondered why they get very little support from ordinary people? Just look at your election results.
In the Anti Bin Charges Campaign all you do is sell the paper, try to recruit, and try to undercut other left parties involved. In Waterford the SWP attacked Bertie Ahern's car, this was against the mood of the people there and it turned people more away from you.
Serious ordinary members of SWP should leave them and join a proper party of Socialist Workers.
My life is so awful but I know who's to blame, my plants won't blossom, I can't friggin dance, I'm penniless, my nicest shirt won't fit anymore, my mates think I'm weird, I'm deeply unhappy. It's all the fault of those s friggin w friggen p'ers.
I hate capitalism, FF, FG, etc etc. I hate the multinationals, racism, sexism, homophobia etc etc. I hate low pay, bosses, corruption, royalty, you name it.
Put them all together and it still comes nowhere near the hate I have for the SWP.
Anyposting that has no comment about the SWP should be censored. If theres a dodgy posting calling for unity, or to turn on the real enemy - wipe it, better still if there is some ridiculous posting such as the above then its them bastards trying to discredit our wonderful tool for attacking the 'em ruling (swp) class.
Workers of the world unite against the SWP. Anybody who disagrees then you're one of them.
Ok mummy I'm coming now...
this seems to be wishful thinking on behalf of the state, but just who are the swp, why does special branch/mi5 continually hav such an interest in them, i wud never have heard of them, till now, but they must be doing something right cos they seem to have offended some snotty nosed oul snobby peeler/establishment fuks.
They haven't gone away you know, unfortunetly.
That's deadly cause I owe two years subs! That's a saving of nearly three Euro. I might treat myself to a pint tonight.
Come on this is stupid, we all know that it's a SWP trick to discredit indymedia. SWP stop behaving like morons.
.. careful now ;)
Where do you get this shit???
Grow the fuck up.
