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.

The Technocrats Are Falling as Their Ideology Fails Fri Oct 10, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The technocrats are falling across the West as their ideology founders on reality. The cracking of the Net Zero consensus, like the end of Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, is a moment of hope, says Dr Tilak Doshi.

Fair play to the INLA who continue to put scum like drug dealers out of business,their galant name sould never be allowed to be used by scumbags like dealers,ONWARDS TO VICTORY,SAOIRSE GO DEO
What about your inla leader who was caught selling heroin or the leader of the ballymount inla who took protection money off dealers in Tallaght? when will they get their marching orders?
Your obviuosly a middle class shelthered nobody who gets his info from British owned rags such as the Sunday World,and reads books written by semi-illeterate,pro-British/freestate,careerists,
The comments you have made are straight ot have of ''crimelords'',the exact propaganda of the Gaurds that the statement was written to discredit,and put the record straight,
Those incidents if you have expert knowledge about INLA drug dealers,go to the RSM and explain this info,even go to your police,the Garda,and you'll be laughed at,all lies and half truths,
The fact is and always will be that the INLA is a revolutionary Army,fiercely anti-drugs,and that its only half witted gobshite drug dealers who use the name to threaten fellow drug dealers,
If you want to make serious allegations here,please use fact and not fiction from gutter press British owned paper and stupid books.
First time I've heard of a ''Ballymount INLA''.
From my understanding, the action carried out was a botched punishment attack on a gang of drug criminals, much like the INLA and IRA would have done in the six counties during the conflict. However news reporters and the media in general would like to portray things differently. Much like the situation we have in Rossport today.
It should also be remembered that another INLA member and anti-drugs activist John Morris was murdered by State Forces ten years ago.
The fact is and always will be that the INLA is a revolutionary Army,fiercely anti-drugs,and that its only half witted gobshite drug dealers who use the name to threaten fellow drug dealers,
if the inla is so anti drugs you might tell some of your top lads in the south inner city to stop hanging around with drug dealers then or are they just trying to show them the error of there ways
Which lads would these be and how do you know they are members of the RSM?
"So lets raise a glass" sez the masked man (dude, that whole homemade paramilitary look is soooooo last millennium!). So the drug alcohol is grand, despite the damage that it does to our society - much more than any "drug" menace that the tabloids' "half-truths and sensationalist headlines" have been filling your empty little heads with. "Such gutter press headlines were and are utter nonsense", and muppets like you who are trying to prop up "greedy capitalistic policies" of drinks companies "that are feeding the social cancers" have obviously missed the point. Totally. Unsurprisingly. I prefer other drugs to alcohol. And some loser in a Hallowe'en outfit and the pants his Mammy ironed for him ain't gonna tell me what's what. Run along now before I get cross. And learn to spell.
INLA prisoner from Dublin has proir herion convictions does he not?
There are no INLA members from Dublin in Portlaoise.
im in dire straits and am being threatened by a drug dealer.i did a stupid thing when i shared a house with 2 other blokes i flushed there coke down the toilet.now there saying if i dont pay up by 2morow im well u know what i mean. i dont care what happens 2 me.but they have threatened my family and they no were thay live i dont no what 2 do im up the walls.any advice please.
Go to the cops? Go to sinn fein? Pay up?
Come the revolution you'll bloody well do as you're told!
The Campbells were always known as a family who would sell babys blood if there was money in it. You Dubs are very easily taken in.
This is the IRSP/INLA who had threatening posters in Dublins inner-city a couple of years ago TELLING people to go to a picket outside Mountjoy Prison.
"Be there. No excuses." were the exact words on the poster.
I would like to spell out the exact words in which I feel describe the gang/***** but I feel the indymedia moderators might edit them.
Will you? I can spell them out.
All left-wing groups put stupid slogans like that on their poster: "March on Saturday - Be there!" "Support the Strikers!"
Threats? Umm...
Does the statement from the IRSP today apply to you lads or are you going to continue your campaign in Dublin. Mary Reid was an active member of the IRSP in Dublin in the 70s. It was the time of the Train robbery and the death of Seamus Costello. The reality is that your war ended with the death of Costello. Your leaders after him did not promote his vision or hold his principles. Mary Reid died in January 2003 , in my opinion at the hands of former INLA members. She was a committed republican socialist - why did she die and is it now possible that the truth about the killing of Mary Reid will be revealed ?
And once again Joe you send the cowards scuttling back into the shadows, not one of them with the guts to look you in the eye let alone give you the answers you deserve.
Shameful!

Well you could Stop wasting time surfing the web and get yourself down to tesco and buy them another 2 litre bottle.
Bet it cleaned up that toilet pretty good though. Nasty stuff.
Well done to everyone who has campaigned against drugs including the IRSP and INLA, although such a campaign should never have to result in someone's death.
Personally, I am sick to death of seeing drugged-up zombie kids walking around in a blur around the streets of Dublin.
If there are people flooding places with drugs, then I blame the consumers of these toxic drugs. How stupid are people, everyone knows these drugs are toxic and highly addictive and could kill you - people need to wise-up and stop buying these drugs and enter treatment programmes. If sufficient people stopped taking these drugs, then we would eventually see healthy youngsters in the city, rather than the emaciated half dead zombie like kids I see wandering aimlessly around Dublin city centre.
There will always be an illegal drugs business in Ireland as long as there is a strong demand for them and a continuous supply of fools stupid enough to buy them. If you really want a society without drugs, then kids young and old alike need to wise-up and take responsibility, and regurgitate those drugs back-up to the drug barons - stop buying them, they will then, eventually, go out of business, le cúnamh Dé!
It is not a good idea at all to be naming people here and their friends - please refrain from doing so - the undertakers in Dublin are cleaning up at the moment.
p.s. What happened to Mary Reid?
It appears that Mary Reid may have discovered that funding for social projects in Derry had been taken in control by IRSP/INLA members and were being used for personal gain. Mary was a socialist, republican of the highest integrity and this activity would have been unacceptable to her. Mary Reid worked in Derry city, she was last seen alive at 10am leaving the Rosemont centre on 29 January 2003. Her body was found on an isolated beach in County Donegal at 5.30 that evening. The garda identified 2 suspects for Mary's death and both had links to the IRSP/INLA in Derry over many years.
the RSM had fine beginnings and any contribution to the restriction of drug dealing should be welcomed
but what about the big criminals lawyers politicians bankers auctioneers and accountants nthe golden circle that the irsp is sworn to remove will posters stop their lying and thieving
i think not
if you want to make a differnec ein the world of the majority of the citizens focus time in supporting the struggle to stop the government sweeping the mis deeds of their pals under the carpet with new legislation and new lies
tiocfaidh ar la
Is there any member of this group of gangsters prepared to confirm that derry INLA legend Tommy Mc Court was involved in the abduction and death of Mary Reid in January 2003. In my opinion he has been an agent of the crown for decades and that was the reason Mary Reid's murder went without investigation. Check up on him lads.
