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.

What Happened When Extinction Rebellion Had a Taste of its Own Medicine Fri Nov 21, 2025 17:00 | Anonymous
Read what happened when an Extinction Rebellion meeting was disrupted by a protester. Seems they can give it out but have no intention of putting up with it themselves.

Are the Grooming Gangs a Muslim Phenomenon? Fri Nov 21, 2025 15:00 | Mark Durie
First they were 'Asian' grooming gangs, then 'Pakistani'. But the most important thing to grasp is that almost all of them ? 87% of convictions ? are Muslim, says Mark Durie. This must not be covered up.

If the BBC's Standards Committee, which is reviewing the corporation's coverage of climate change, wants a good example of bias, it should take a look at its report of recent floods in Pakistan, says Paul Homewood.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9If this event is "open to all parties", then why did the Republican Socialist Youth Movement receive an email from Ronan Harte of the Connolly Youth Movement stating that -
"The IRSP/RSYM has not been invited to this saturdays meeting.The meeting has been called by the Connolly Youth Movement and we reserve the right to refuse entery.
This is an inaugral meeting of the youth commitee and is an invite only gathering of youth organisations and their individual members."?
Ronan Harte then called upon the INLA to disband before the CYM and CPI would collaborate politically with the RSYM and IRSP, to be honest, I found this to be quite contradictory considering the 1916 rising was an act of the Irish people bearing arms against imperialism, something which they still do today and which the proclaimation claims is a "fundamental right". The IRSP has consistently affirmed that the INLA will not disband. I replied to such a statement with -
“The Irish National Liberation Army will not disband unless such is democratically decided by the membership of the Irish Republican Socialist Party, the organisation to which the Irish National Liberation Army is under the direct control of and is subordinate to as outlined in the 'Ta Power document'…“
This ultimately can be viewed as the CPI and CYM not wanting the Republican Socialist Movement to attend the inaugural meeting of ‘Rising youth’, the reasons for which have not been presented by the CPI and CYM, but at the minute, it looks like no reason other than raw political sectarianism.
I presume members of Fianna Eireann would be refused entry on the same grounds . I shudder to think what these peoples definition of republicanism is . Presumably its one which doesnt include any actual republicans or the youth organisations they belong to.
Maybe they could define how progressive it is to be barring entry to republican youth .
Could the CYM confirm and explain why the RSYM was rejected from attending this event, despite this release now stating that "This meeting will be open to all interested parties"?
This is an absurd contradiction - how can the CYM commemorate the Easter Rising while demanding that participants disarm the working class? Raising the demands of imperialism is never a progressive option and an absurdity given the context.
This is a disgace and shows the level of political sectarianism that is continually directed at our movement from some sections of the irrelivent left. While groups such as the RYSM have just been formed and are attracting youth from throughout Ireland the exclusion by CYM shows just how out of touch certain groups within the left are. How dare they put a precondition of the INLA disbanding.
Infact the Communist Party recently met with the IRSP.
Are CYM now going to divorce their parents?
CYM are a disgrace.
Forward with the RSYM!
How can these people call themsleves republican when they try and pick and chose who can attend their meetings . They should hand their heads in SHAME , what have they ever done to unite our country ?
squig
Didn't members of the IRSP and CPI recently attend the Camp Havana in Donegal? Apparently the CPI members present didn't lock the doors when the IRSP members approached!
Shame on the CYM
These people dare to call themselves 'the Connolly Youth Movement'?
Well I think it's time to set them straight!
James Connolly argued that the Working Class of Ireland had a right to defend themselves against imperialism and capitalism, the conditions which led him to that conclusion have not changed!
Today the workers in Ireland are not free from the chains of capitalism or imperialism and the task of building the Socialist Republic is still ongoing. When it comes to the crunch and the mass of the working class call for the present system to go, the establishment will not hand over power, it will have to be taken from them by force.
This is why we need a military wing. The INLA is the vanguard of the working class in Ireland, THERE IS NO OTHER!
An extract from Seamus Costello's 1966 Bodenstown speech;
The lesson of history shows that in the final analysis the robber baron must be dis-established by the same methods that he used to enrich himself and retain his ill-gotten gains, namely, force of arms. To this end we must organise, train, and maintain a disciplined armed force which will always be available to strike at the opportune moment.
- Nora Connolly, daughter of James Connolly, speaking of Seamus Costello shortly after his assassination.
"Of all the politicians and political people with whom I have had conversations, and who called themselves followers of Connolly, he was the only one who truly understood what James Connolly meant when he spoke of his vision of the freedom of the Irish people."
We are followers of Costello and Connolly, and those who don't understand the need for the working class to be armed, should not call themselves communist!
Those who argue that we can reform capitalism out of existance are ABUSING the name of James Connolly!
Shame on you!
Members of Dublin IRSP attended there miniscule gathering on Saturday in the teachers club, there was nothing to write home about, never mind anyone to chalenge on exclusion matters, as no one from the cpi was willing to comment when personally challenged. Then again there was so few of them there, you would have a better chance of finding a snow-ball in hell.
It was my fault, and mine alone. I was unaware that the preliminary meeting was invite only.
Sorry guys.
