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.

all desperately trying to pretend their politics are in any way relevent to the new global movements, they ought to be rolled in manure and thrown in the liffey for their pretentiousness.
Solidarity!
Good luck with the project people,good to see.As my friend above mentioned steer well clear of member-hungry political party,analyse 'em all if you must but don't be deceived,they see you as nothing more than fresh meat for the party ranks!
with the creativity and energy of your youth stand up for your beliefs
REFUSE! RESIST! CREATE!
course don't always listen to hurlers on the ditch either, you may find some common cause with the alphabet soup as well, the cynics are much better at recruiting than all the alphabet soup put together. Take everyone as you find them and make your own mind up.
you didn't mention you were into politics too, slimey, reminds me of the swp! should be more honest about your own politics before slagging off the others!
I was not slagging only offering words of encouragement. Why was is it dishonest of me not to meation my politics, I was not giving advise or criticism.

you forgot to add WSM and Organise to that list.
I left off WSM and Organise as they don't seem to be as hungry for members, actually allow members to engage in any amount of other activity outside the group - Including direct action, and aren't political parties who talk revolution until the elections come around.
Solidarity with the WSM and ORGANISE!
I'm guydebordisdead!
spers can do anything they want, if you opened your eyes out there you might meet them. Just cause they won't dress up as clowns (either the circa or black block type) doen't mean they won't take part in direct actions. (bin tax was the biggest yet) Probably the lack of uniform that's confusing you. They are also free to do anything they want outside the party and do, probably the only reason you didn't cop it was no one has tried to recruit you which is ironic. (but going by your mentality hardly suprising), enjoy your ra ra radicalism!!!!! college years are so so short.
sp recruited my younger sibling (considerably younger) she left within 6months because of the authoritarian bullshit.
Nothing radical about the SP and as free as they may be to engage in DA, they never actually seem to.
and my second cousin once removed was an anarchist for a month once but she dropped out because she couldn't get the hang of waggling her fingers in meetings and the dog on a string she was issued with gave her allergies.
a group of sy took part in direct action of a statoil station in wicklow. Direct action isn't everything, youth defence use direct action too, doesn't stop them from being reactionary bigots.
If you think standing outside with a placard is direct action then your just as deluded as everyone thinks you are.
Of course direct action isn't everything - however TODAY are looking for direct action, hence the heads up.
stopping cars going in is an action, what we used to call a picket. (although there may be some new trendy word you like to use) And excatly the same action as practised by all the others involved including anarchists. SY also took part in the biggest and longest nvda in recent history in dublin a couple even getting locked up for it. No costumes or trendy clothes just standing shoulder to shoulder with people and especially no masks, we are prepared to openly stand up for our beliefs. You shouldn't look down your nose at other working class people engaging in struggle, although you may not agree with all the politics you should try and see past your own sectish instincts and try not to prevent different groups working together. if today does get up and running sy would like to fraternally work with them on actions we can agree. And maybe even, dare we say it! discuss our politics, action is nothing without something behind it.

sper guydebordisdead isn't a student - shame. And he certainly isn't a WSM cheerleader. In fact this is definitely the first time I've heard or read him say anything positive about our organisation. I feel a little uncomfortable, guy, call us the anarcho-SWP again.

Cough cough Joan Collins Cough cough. I can cough a lot more if you want me to but my throat would get sore.
Incidently WSMers can't do anything they want either, but we don't pretend they can which is perhaps one reason why we've never had to expel any of our members.

WSM was also involved in this, fortunately none of our members got locked up. This was not an SP campaign even if some SPers might like to pretend it was.

Yeah having a fashion sense is so anti-working class. Real revolutionaries wear ill fitting clothes and rejoice in getting arrested - it acts as - what was it Lenin called it - an 'exposure'. These 'exposures' then act as a catalyst to fuel the growth of the mass workers revolutionary party which will lead the proletariat to communism. I mean socialism, we can't use the word communism or even think about the concept - it alienates 'ordinary people' and is 'ultra-leftist'. Shudder.

I don't think guy was looking down his nose at other working class people engaged in struggle. I'd imagine he was disagreeing with your politics and your practice. Working class fascists engage in struggle but that doesn't mean I'm going to work with them or refrain from discouraging young activists from working with them. And although I will work with Bolsheviks I really really don't want to and am not going to refrain from explaining to young activists why.
Let me finish like I have seen done before at a few Bolshevik meetings I've been at: with a few slogans.
Class first.
No to party dictatorships.
Death to the power of dead labour.
(The last one is a pun and may require you 'marxists' to go read some marx before replying to it.)
PS I'm just after re-reading this comment and I just want to say that I'm normally not this much of a prick and am generally a very polite person. I just hate Bolshevism.
