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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6At the minute, there is a Wolfe Tone commemoration on every Sunday in June.
Eventually, there will be a parade and commemoration on every Sunday in the summer, and then we will get to a point where every single Sunday will see a commeration in Bodenstown.
Then Saturdays, then other days of the week (maybe in the evenings to start).
Eventually we will get to the stage where there will be a commemoration in Bodenstown every day of the year.
Then we'll move on to other towns in Kildare...
The Workers' Party assembles at Bodenstown Cross and marches the short distance from there to the cemetery. Traffic disruption is at a minimum and at most takes about 3 minutes for the few hundred people to clear the road. There is clearly an orchestrated campaign from some elements against all parties and groups holding commemorations at Wolfe Tone's grave, probably the same elements who want to bulldoze and concrete over the Hill of Tara.
Wolfe Tone died for the freedom of all religous beliefs. What a pity it is that Christian beliefs, and especially Catholicism, are so often a victim of religous hatred and bigotry on indymedia.
He was a suicide - 8th circle of dante's Hell. Of course God the merciful just might have given him the benefit of the doubt for never wearing a condom or felching & right now he's sitting next to mother teresa and martin luther. what is really a pity is that so many people in modern day Ireland on a local node of a global site such as indymedia still bleat and whine on a daily basis about the very secular values which are central to both anarchism and republicanism & describe them as being "anti-catholic" or "anti-christian". As an author of many of those comments & being the unusual exceptional one of the very few who are theologically well-informed in maintaining a consistent secular position I object to being termed either "anti-catholic" or "anti-christian". I'm neither. I write and talk happily of spiritual matters & have done on this site - but no longer feel it is appropriate. The internet is a big place - google for an Irish portal with no global links to anarchism & the respect you crave for your prejudices which throughout Europe are alligned with the far right and forces of repression.
+
now let's all close our eyes & say a wee prayer for Wolfe Tone's immortal soul instead of the year in year out dumping praise which is hammering him further into the ice of the 8th circle (if you believe in that) & if you don't - then why the fuck do you bother going to Bodenstown?
Hi belch !
There is no dispute that Tone suffered a fatal neck wound but there is a difference of opinion regarding how same was inflicted -
http://1169andcounting.blogspot.com/2005_03_06_archive.html
(....the article re same starts on Wednesday 9 March in the above link.)

In my opinion, I believe Mr. Theobald Wolfe Tone (not unlike some disgruntled people in Sallins) would be very displeased at the fact that there are several different troops of republicans and Ununited Irishmen/women marching up and down to his grave every weekend in June. I think he would prefer to see one large Republican grouping of United Irishmen/women, but, alas, it's not to be, and we must be divided and sniping at each other. It is a very sad fact, indeed, that we have several different republican groupings today - some more republican than others.
I don't believe Wolfe Tone was religious, I don't think he cared much for it, it's not really accurate to call him a Protestant - he certainly wasn't a practising one. I believe he was a man who believed in equality and justice for all, but religion, I don't think he gave a shite about it - he probably found as I have done, that it was more trouble than it was worth.
Personally, I can't relate at all to Theobald Wolfe Tone, simply because he was a member of the 'protestant ascendancy class', and I don't care for that class (not the religion, but the class), being from a long line of peasant farmers myself. I also can't stand the Orange Order and would prefer if the Irish flag were just green, as I don't find anything acceptable or respectable about the Orange Order, no more than I find anything acceptable about the KKK. I can't overcome this prejudice (I think it is hereditary), and despite all Mr. Tone's valient efforts and good works to bring about a politically independent united Ireland, I can't bring myself to visit his grave, simply because I can't relate to him. I prefer to honour the peasants instead who I can relate to, and those who suffered at the hands of the landlord class, and those relatives of mine who died in famine times while the 'protestant ascendancy class' looked on, and those brave women and men whose graves are never visited and God only knows how much they suffered.
