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.

I was at both protests on Saturday 24 February last in Dublin (Shell and Croke Park) and talked to any media people that asked for a few words - and was grateful for the chance to do so !
Also , the journalist from 'Indymedia' who attended the CABHAIR Christmas morning swim at Inchicore was very well received by the crowd and by the organisers , some of whom are RSF members . This has always been the case , as far as I know , and I have been present at countless demonstrations / parades / commemorations etc at which the media are given practically open access for interviews and/or photographs .
Apologises if a few people at either protests last Saturday behaved differently - it was not intentional on RSF's part that that should happen .
Slan go foill anois ,
Sharon .
The reason why the media are ignoring RSF is not because of some massive conspiracy but because RSF is totally utterly irrelevant.
I reported on the RSF demo not this person "RSF watch" and I never bothered to complain about the backwards views of some of their supporters about indymedia.
As an NUJ member I'd like to consider myself slightly beyond being an "amateur with a recording device". The idea that I should call ahead at a protest to arrange interviews is rediculous, if you're attending a demonstration you should at least be able to say why you're there.
Some members of RSF were intelligent and well spoken and they were more than willing to talk to me, they knew why they were there. Sharon who posts here is more than willing to work with indymedia reporters and Ruairi obviously had no problem speaking his mind.
There was another element that was obviously much more apolitical and motivated by an irrational nationalism, they were generally abusive to all media, some even pushed me when I questioned them (boo hoo). These lads mostly seemed to be there just to try recreate last years riot, a task they didn't seem to have the bottle or proper organisation to do.
There is obviously a serious gap between the "Leadership" and those lads posturing as republicans last Saturday, so I dont see anything seriously hypocritical in RSF posting their press releases.
I support Indymedia, I find that in general, it offers news and perspective before the mass media or soley.
That stated, this "troll-like" argument that alleged Sinn Féin Poblachtach supporters/members are anti-Indymedia is one of the most negative features of the Indymedia.
When one is protesting they are dealing with a number of factors, the message, their outgoing call, the presence and location of the oppressive police force, the location of their friends... not if someone who has went to the trouble of naming themself "RSFWatch" or some other amateur with a recording device is randomly trying to get an interview.
If we remember correctly before there was a "press release" section to the publishing options - rsf just spammed the newswire every day. In a sense the "press release" section was created very much with rsf in mind - and if you look at the section - you see rsf - rsf - rsf- rsf- rsf- rsf- yet you're still holding out for Charlie bleedin Bird.
but they still don't trust them. ok. that makes sense. you only get given space to show how silly ye are....was the O'neill elected?
Good work and thanks for the report but grow up - you're hardly Charlie Bird- a couple of RSF supporters were uncoperative while others inc. O'Bradaigh gave you soundbites.
Just people who want to turn the clock back.
I'm all for alternatives to the established order, but yearning for a green ireland where the eviction notice will be stamped with the harp instead of the crown isn't an answer.
Just listened to the recording again.
One RSF women referred to Indymedia as "biased wierdos ... who have the check to call yourselves openminded".
When asked for his views, another RSFer asks the reported "Who are you with". When he hears who, he says "Don't support you. Don't like you", and when the reporter tries to explain the nature of Indymedia, he's old "I don't give a shite".
If this is how its members treat a forum where the party can post its statements unhindered, why the hell should any other media outlet put itself in for the same abuse?
Republican Sinn fein complain that they are ignored by panel show on British Broadcasting Corporation. You couldn't make it up.
A few days ago, an Indymedia journalist posted up his report on the recent protest staged by RSF near Croke Park.
As part of his report, he tried to interview a number of demonstrators on the significance of the demonstration. He was more or less ignored by two demonstrators, who sounded middle-aged. The hostility shown by these people to a young, independent journalist (a male demonstrator told him to more or less "fuck off" and that he didn't "trust" Indymedia) just exposes RSF for what it is - an elitist band of conspiratorial cranks who aren't really interested in developing a public profile.
Then they come on to Indymedia whinging when their press statements are ignored.
if you're interested.
