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.

Britain?s De Facto Blasphemy Laws Have Been Decades in the Making Tue Oct 14, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
The overturning of Hamit Coskun's conviction for burning a Quran shows Britain doesn't have blasphemy laws. But in truth a fear of violent reprisals has created a de facto blasphemy law for decades, says Clarissa Hard.

Hamburg ? Germany's leading industrial city ? has just committed to deindustrialise completely in 15 years after a referendum on Net Zero by 2040 passed with 53.2% of the vote. This is utter insanity, says Eugyppius.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12We were just going to drop down some new SHELL TO SEA t-shirts this week... Hope you can find another venue.
Please try to open again. How about Seomra Spraoi.
should this be in other press?
I'm very sorry to hear this - it's Dublins loss. Red Ink was an important part of the radical and anarchist scene in Dublin and we are going to miss it very much. Thanks to you both for the time and energy you put into the project.
Sorry to hear you are closing but you are not the only radical bookshop in dublin the CP have a bookshop as well in the new posh street that Wallace built.
don't think that connolly books counts as radical.
Obscure and irrelevant are more fitting.
Connolly Books is a grand little shop in my own opinion,but I will miss Red Ink.A lot.
It covered everything from local zines to Chomksy! It was a great collection of stuff in one place ran by great people.
I'll be sure to pay a visit before it closes,I'm actually pretty sad to hear this news.
Without sounding stupid,with the exception of Connolly and Red Ink,can anyone reccomend anywhere else that offers reading material up that tree?
I'll miss it too, even if it did insist on stocking bollocks like "Green Anarchist" and Hakim Bey.
The only other radical bookshop I can think of is the Sinn Féin bookshop on Parnell Square. Anyone else think of any others?
Anthology Books in Temple Bar is a book store serving the queer community, carrying some good material and Books Up Stairs has its little leftie pamphlets section with the trot papers and Red Banner et al.
Yeah Anthology books is pretty good. Their good for social theory. Post modernist, post structualist etc stuff in particular. And their literature section is great but their politcs section is pretty awful.
Well done to red ink anyway, it was more than a worthy venture.
I cant sleep, the conservatives just won the election tonight, we have a new prime minister in Canada, Stephen Harper, and since i am getting my irish citizenship, soon I can now get the fuck out of here before us canadians get screwed over. I lived in dublin for a few months this summer, and I was missing it, so I searched the internet for places I knew, and I found out this horrible peice of news. Are there any other anarchist book stores in Dublin, or should I now need to move there and start one up?
