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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

You people are so paranoid go back to your dictatorship governments dn totaltarian government. You remind me of the the communist.
No I mean Indymedia Ireland is being bombarded with, frankly, the most ludrciously childish propaganda by you and others mary. There is no attempt to even try and bring across the other point of view.
It's perpetual consistent, tiresome and an abuse of Indymedia's newswire. It's propaganda, lies, and tedious and it's a cancer on Indymedia.
Fine they're a bunch of communists, whatever we need to make you think, that it's not worth your while spouting the hate filled lies, you're choking the newswire with daily, I don't care, I just want you to stop, fuck off and wander back into that festering sewer you refer to as your mind.
And its not just on indymedia ireland,its on ALL the indymedia sites. This have to be some kind of organised propaganda spamgroup,or something.They are destroying the indymediaproject with their crap.
Something HAS to be done!
NOW!!
The extract below is from israelfightback.com- clearly a source of quality reading material:
“Both the international and the Palestinian media have accentuated the tragic fact that Palestinian children have been killed or wounded in the recent wave of violence which has engulfed the Middle East. Has any consideration been given, however, to the question of why these Palestinian children have been exposed to such dangers? Why are they frequently found on the streets, in the front lines of violent confrontations, when they should be safe at home or in school?
There are only two possibilities. Either, as Palestinian spokespersons and spin-doctors would have us believe, Israeli forces have been willfully and unabashedly targeting innocent Palestinian children, intentionally seeking them out and murdering them. Or these children are being deliberately taken out of their homes, schools and playgrounds and being sent to the streets, alongside Palestinian rioters, snipers and terrorists -- with the express purpose of placing them in the line of fire in a calculated play for world sympathy.
We all know which of these two possibilities is more likely. We all know who stands to benefit from the sympathy and the censure that the injury of these children attracts. We all know who needs to deflect world attention from their unwillingness to take the necessary steps to make peace. We all know who rejected American proposals at Camp David as even a basis for further negotiations
SYMPATHY PLOY
In the eyes of the Palestinians, the fact that their children are being wounded or killed is secondary to the fact that the world sees them being wounded or killed. Thus the Palestinians are able to cynically manipulate their media image and that of Israel.”
Given that most of these articles are complete, non-excerpted cut-n-paste jobs and indymedia.ie has had a stated policy of removing that type of thing before then what's the problem with removing them? If the spammers want to post on indymedia.ie then they need to excerpt the article thus:
More pro-Zionist spam including irrational calumnies of those that object to the occupation of Palestinian lands and the murder of Palestinians can be found in an excellent article by D.Horowitz in FrontPage magazine at www.frontpagemag.com. This is a great article that confirms all my hatred of Palestinians.
Yes, censorship is the great and notorious danger. That I could not condone.
Also, to effectively counter this form of lying agitation-propaganda, one must be exposed to it somewhat, but not necessarily flooded into oblivion.
I have seen this all over IMC and similar open forums, and do wonder to myself sometimes as to what extent the spamful energies of 'Mary' and cohorts have already been sucessfully automated.
The technology is surely no problem to anyone with the means and motivation, something which I'm quite sure the Lawless State of Israel possesses in spades. For the cost of just one nuclear-armed submarine less, ... why it could probably just buy the whole damned Internet!?!
So here is my suggestion - bundle all the nutbag spam supporting and justifying the lawless and reckless behaviour of the Sharonist Junta in Israel into one prominently linked permanent page with an expandable thread-like structure.
That way anyone interested in going in there to check it out, or refute their 'arguments' will be able to do so, no censorship need occur, and the newswire will be freed up for serious contributions.
Schalom, BP
Bundling it all into one area called "Isreali spam" would be the solution.
However, this is probably a temporary solution: consider the motivations of the Israeli trolls. They want to disrupt and discredit indymedia because they are afraid of the effect of criticism of Israel. So they have two main possible strategies:
1. Make indymedia unusable by automated spamming.
2. Post anti-Semitic, hate-literature that can be used as a stick to beat indymedia with.
The latter strategy was pursued by AKdH against Indymedia Switzerland who used lawsuits to shut them down. Interestingly indymedia suisse had implemented Black Pope's "spam area" into which they put anti-Semitic and anti-Arab garbage.
