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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I live in Derry and I want to say thank you to Eamonn McCann and the other anti war protesters who occupied and decommissioned the Raytheon facility in Derry. I firmly believe the people of Derry were fooled by the arrival of this company in our city. We were told it would ‘only produce software’, but not that all the software produced for “civilian” projects, like air traffic control, can then be used in guided missiles to wreak death and destruction in other parts of the world.
Night after night, the TV pictures of what is happening in Lebanon and Gaza make it a moral imperative for those of us living comfortable lives here in relatively peaceful Ireland to act. It's a disgrace that they are in prison. It's Tony Blair who should be in prison for war crimes
Good statement and a job well done. Solidarity is now needed and the antiwar movement must stand four-square behind these comrades.
20 people held a solidarity picket in Belfast this morning.
All activists should be in full Solidarity with the DAWC members, their actions, and their stand -
In Solidarity

All out tomorrow for the Stop the War Coalition - ICTU Rally in Belfast
Derry Anti War Coalition's statement of support for the Raytheon 9 is now available as an on-line petition.
Derry Anti War Coalition, together with the Irish Anti War Movement and Stop the War Coalition in Britain - both of which it has been affiliated to since 2002 - has published a statement of support for the Raytheon 9 for circulation internationally. The statement is pasted in below. So far, it has been signed by Noam Chomsky, members of Trident Ploughshares and anti-war activists from as far away as Japan and Pakistan. However, some people don't like having to email their support and asked for an on-line petition instead. You can sign it on

We have to have a meeting after the Sheridan meeting to discuss what we do at St Andrews. This is very important. This is a Solidarity thing, not just a Fife thing.
It is also a world stage.
Maybe we should stage a beach landing and a march across the Old Course.
We will fight them on the beaches. And in the bunkers. And on the 18th Green. And the cameras will be there.
The thing is probably going to happen at the OLd Course Hotel which I would say is virtually undefendable from protesters on legs.
Eamon's in Paris along with 3,000 other Derry folk for the Paris St Germain v Derry City Europe match so I'm not getting much sense out of Derry at the moment but by Thursday I will be able to announce it from the floor.
How does that sound?
