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.

Are Advertisers Finally Realising They Need to Stop Over-Representing Black People? Thu Oct 09, 2025 09:00 | Lee Taylor
Black people make up 4% of the UK but appear in over half of adverts, according to a new Channel 4 report. Is the industry finally realising that such fake over-representation is off-putting, asks Lee Taylor.

Cmon SDT we have over 200people all over south dublin!!!!!!!!!
was/is a legend, he also produced burners, not just pieces although that was 15+ years ago, the crews at the time from memory were TNT(The Nations Top)(blatently taken from the NY crew :) )--from all over Cork and also a mahon crew with Vex,Joker, thrasher and a few others--they did the inside(stage) of Sir Henrys all those years ago and me of course :) Most of the stuff i see now are throw-ups not even pieces tbh never mind burners!
the King was Sprog from Cork, im talking 15+ years ago and im talking quality pieces, before anyone else was even remotely interested in graffiti anywhere in Ireland, also a number of Cork crews existed back then also
Congradulations to Dublin grafattiers for producing the most piss poor work ever. Don't bother with anymore it looks really shit.
without been seen are a rathfarnam based tag withytore and tacs wich are great keep up da good work
Back in prehistory: 1988 I noticed Acrid and RCS tags springing up all along the DART route. It then spread through the city centre and into other burbs. Acrid had art and could run some good pieces. RCS never got past his/their signature.
When I moved to London in 1992 I saw RCS tags along the Clapham Junction train route and in the City of London and wondered, can one team be this devoted to just writing their name?
Moved back to Dublin a couple of months ago from 10 years in Los Angeles and can't avoid seeing ICN and RCS tags in large numbers. (incidentally in L.A. tagging is considered completely gay and art/stencil graff is flourishing).
ICN has done a good piece at Blackrock baths. Don't know why he/they wastes his/their time with tagging.
In England and Wales Councils are getting even more powers to attack Graffitti Artists. But not just that: they are also getting stronger powers to outlaw leafleting and postering. Full story at link.

***********************************************
Fixed penalties tackle graffiti
Graffiti artists run the risk of an Ł80 fixed-penalty
New council powers to crack down on environmental crimes and anti-social behaviour such as graffiti, fly-tipping and fly-posting have come into force. Measures under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 enable local authorities in England and Wales to issue Ł80 on-the-spot fines.
Council enforcement officers already have the ability to issue Ł50 fixed penalties to people who drop litter or whose dogs foul the pavement. The new Ł80 fines will replace those powers and also cover graffiti, fly-tipping, fly-posting, leaflet distribution and waste registration breaches.

ders a deadly new crew called WBS- without been seen, small crew but gud stuff!!
Just tot id let us no dat there is a new cew starting headn under the name of H.A.C
i believe it stands for HOSTEL ACTION CREW.... ... U HEARD IT HERE OFF UR BOY -TONIC FRIST PEACE
What does this mean? Refer to?
GRIFT isnt a crew its just the one guy. Dublin graff is starting to get repititive too many toys
SWO= stoners world order
GRIFT= is not a solo tagger but Grift is a crew
em this is pretty pointless but its 1:25am and im incredibely bored...
UEK or ICN don't really do mural or community projects.
are any of the tag crews invovled with mural projects/ grafiti projects in inner city communities, i think someone mentioned that in saint micheals it was happening- would any crews be interested, seomra spraoi events are picking up... should be a colorful year
ICN means InCogNito(latin for in disguise)
RCS means the RadiCalS.
UEK are the Underground Elements Krew.
RFA are the Ready For Action crew.
any body know what FT means?
ive seen grift,opol,gonk,stir,swo the most near me have you?
some of these lads r really gud at what they do. i think it's great that we can see there stuff on the streets instead of going to some poncy art gallery to see art that they think we will like. if you dont like the stuff they're doin stop complaining! have the balls go out yourself with a spraycan and paint somethin ud like2see. 2MC 05
i may not spell this right.........but icn stands for incognito.InCogNito!!!
If you mean ICN, it stands for Incatnito which means in disguise .

IT WONT STOP:
UNTIL EVERYBODY KNOWS!
The regular noise hacker postings are one of the most interesting things to develop on Indymedia, they are an archive of the city's walls and wheter or not you agree with street art is irrelevant given the effort the guy is putting into archiving graffitti aorund the city.
There is such a thing as photo journalism after all? Media doesnt just mean text.
just cus some kid gets some spray paint and works on a wall does that become news somehow?
the "think stupid" and some of the other designs are worthy of publishing but the rest isnt news and if its coded stuff that only a few people understand I see that as anti communication and more of a desire to feel superior and make others feel like beginners
Ive had stuff Ive written taken off the newswire and the excuse given was that it wasnt news - so how are ALL these photos allowed up
Its news then that "I had a thought 5 minutes ago and want to share it with the world"
Could we add that to the editorial directives or is it that this photographer is pally with some people in indymedia who turn a blind eye and dont touch whats posted up or analyse it to see if it is really news or not
Perhaps we could start an art section and put the more abstract stuff in there for readers who reach factual overload and want some visuals
ill check out st micheals project, thanks for that
there more history and exploration of this tag- scene here
http://tcal.net/archives/2005/04/08/icn/
on the mayfield muralismo front, things are going great down there, the mural that they made last year was hanging in bodegas bar and they are currently trying to get it housed in the city bus station.
they are having a massive event this summer with muralismo people coming from colombia and nicaraqua, that will be from july 4th till 24th, their website is down but should be back online soon

CIST
GRIFT
UEK and ICN are tagging crews. UEK seems to be made up of goth kids of the central bank vintage. There are a few ICN tags around town with the following taggers beside them as signatures: drop, rise and grift, maybe shot too. So ICN is made up of those who were previously just doing their own tags and now work collectively as ICN. Well,at least thats how I read it.
A good friend of mine very recently told me that the youngsters of St. Micheals Estate Flats in Inchicore are doing Graffiti workshops in the community centre. Apparently the walls around the centre look very colourful! I have not seen it myself. Dunk, it maybe worth while checking them out.
And while we’re at it, does anyone know who or what ‘GRIFF’ or ‘CIST’ are? I see a lot of there sprays around the city too.
do these crews have websites
do they do other and more interesting murals than just tags?

http://tcal.net/archives/2005/04/08/icn/
sure ye are aware of muralismo project down in mayfield cork that has ties with nicaragua project from estelles
im hoping to get down to them and see stuff over summer, tie it in with manala gardens down there, they have a mayfield comunity garden too.
anyway, im interested in trying to get muralismo projects on here in dublin, have a few spaces ready for murals, not just tags
would these UEK and ICN crews be on for doing a mural workshop, are they good at doing thesee types ?
if so perhaps they could contact me and we can do a little workshop, we have met up with city communitys and after schools groups from city and they have summer festivals, it would be good to connect up these different communities.; physical dublin communities and community of ideas; grafiti crews, garden crews, clowns........

You know what ICN means/is about and the rest of us are completely thick. How clever you are.
Just shows how little the so-called intelligentsia at Indymedia ireland know, doesn't it:
