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.

Should we Abandon Liberal Democracy in Favour of the Singaporean Model? Sun Oct 05, 2025 15:00 | Toby Young
For those who think liberal democracy is the best form of government, Singapore poses a challenge. It's a technocratic, one-party state characterised by ruthless central planning. Yet it's been astonishingly successful.

What struggles do today's women need to fight and how do we go about achieving the change we want.
Maybe the revolutionary idea of childcare so more women could attend . I have not seen anything on the flyer to surgest that this basic need would be catered for on this womens day event.
Also my sister is unable to attend as the teachers club has very limited access for those in wheelcahirs.
Tis a pity some of us have no choice but to be excluded from what i hope is a great day for all you able bodied ,childless revolutionarys...
typical, wait until the last minute and then air your complaints. did u contact these women asking for childcare or wheelchair access or are you just posting assumptions? one again you are creating unnecessary hassle and spreading devision in the libertarian scene, youre consistant at least.
by all reports a good day was had by all who could attend .
As for" creating unnecessary hassle" , there are MANY serious issues for women in the libertarian scene that need to be addressed , urgently.
couldn't attend.
The 'unnecessary hassle' reffered to in the last post- what could that be?
It would be perfectly reasonable , if in the future meetings publicised ,wd contain the
phrase 'Child -care facilities', then people wd not have to ask publicly if they are being
provided. In terms of women's activism, inclusiveness wd be key.
You are not necessarily physically handicapped by travelling with a child
in fact it can be quite an education for them to observe the mechanisms of protest.
who are we protesting on behalf of?
The victims of war, prosperity and exploitation are in the main, children.
Observe the taxi driver's strike of many years ago and the wives and children coming out and facing intimidation and fear. it was less than a generation ago.
grass-roots activism has to be inclusive, other wise it simply will not work.
The teachers club it self does not have the space for childcare and from RAR's past experience they are not happy with having kids running around the place. It was an over sight not to have advertised child care, when a mother did ask about it, we offer to pay for her child care. This seems to be the best we can do in the situation of the teachers club. In the past when there was space for child care it has been provided on a volunteer capacity by the people who attended. Sadly there is the problem of insurance which we do need to think about.
Which is probably a good thing...
The Bitchin' Kitchen is a co-operative facility for cooking. The idea of co-operation,in community based activism is not that rare. Tho' high prices of rent etc, wd be off-putting, but surely volunteers and a premises or an art class for kids somewhere near town during important meetings isn't completely off the radar. Paying is not necessary, in fact that wd bring in a whole lot of health and safety issues,
Local parks include the Garden of Remembrance, there are museums and galleries and quite a few
places could be sourced for children of activists to be safely supervised.
as to kids running about, yes they will do that. a lot. keeps you thin...
