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.

Speakers from the PUP? The political wing of the still fully armed loyalist (LOYALIST i.e. pro-imperialist state) UVF. The PUP is a monarchist organisation that supports imperial Britain's warmongering. It is NOT a progressive working-class political party! Sinn Fein is at least social democratic and anti-imperialist; the PUP is monarchist and pro-imperialist.
I agree with all of the above about the PUP, however much some of the Trendy Lefties in Dublin wanted to embrace them when they were formed. But I suppose considering the theme of the strike was the unity of Catholic and Protestant working class, a representative from the Protestant community makes a lot of sense and as bad as the DUP might be, I could even less see the UUP or the DUP there.
Embrace them because they're better than the DUP and UUP? That's not a very convincing argument. There must be somebody in the Protestant communities with genuinely leftist progressive inclinations! But, for God's sake, inviting the monarchist mouthpieces of right-wing paramilitary death squads makes no sense.
Is there any non-loyalist progressive group in the Protestant community? Any socialists willing to name imperialism and monarchy for what it is? Can't think of any offhand, but there must be.
Yes I agree it seems very strange to invite a speaker from the PUP. But I can´t agree with the view that SF are the defenders of the working classes, take a look at their track record embracing Public Private Partnerships a sure fire way to shaft the working class in favour of capitalist speculators.
Madigan: "I can´t agree with the view that SF are the defenders of the working classes"
Who said they were? The comment above correctly describe them as having social democratic leanings. Anybody that locates Sinn Fein and the PUP on the same place on the political spectrum is either a fool or a knave. The Shinners may be many things but monarchists and pro-imperialists they are not, even despite their cynical cosying up to Bush and co.
I hope I have not posted this twice. I would like to point out that many of the dockers on strike were sally rods. I would not vote for the PUP nor the Shinners. But it is great to see all sides reclaiming their working class heritage. A left wing ex docker prod.
I´m glad you agree with me, that SF are not the defenders of the working class. Maybe you didnt say they were, but it IS the position many supporters and the leadership of SF try to put forward. (The SF banners at the Dublin Mayday march clearly claimed to be) I´m not too interested that they are marginally better than others because they are anti Monarchist as the Monarchy is an irrelavance in the 21st century. It´s working class politics that are important.
surprised no one, mouths full of criticism for the PUP, has pointed out the IRSP, political wing of the criminal and terrorist INLA are also speaking. sounds like a terrible commemoration of a tremendous strike.
