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 6 7 8 9 10 11 12On the IAWM website linked to above , the Sunday meeting is announced as the AGM of the IAWM .It lists the membership requirements for attendees : “All paid up members are entitled to attend the AGM” etc
On the same page it shows a poster billing the meeting as a “No to War No To Lisbon Special Public Conference”. The poster doesn’t mention the IAWM AGM and the AGM announcement doesn’t mention the No to war No to Lisbon special conference :it only lists a two hour session on “The Lisbon Treaty Neutrality And EU Militarisation”.
There seems to be some confusion.
Its quite clear that the only confusion is in your mind. A section of the conference is specifically dedicated to The Lisbon Treaty. The AGM also takes place on the same day at the same venue.
I don't know whether you are speaking for the IAWM or if you are just being rude on your own behalf , but the issue is not clear. The AGM is listed as a members meeting .The poster is announcing a Public conference. Can you not see that there is a distinction?
If the poster was put up somewhere other than on the IAWM website ,people could turn up to the Royal Dublin Hotel on Sunday thinking that they were going to attend a public conference on Lisbon , only to be told that they were at the AGM of the IAWM ,and that they had to take out membership of that organization in order to gain admittance.
On Saturday May 24th, in the Royal Dublin Hotel, the Irish Anti War Movement is organising two Public sessions on the International Situation at 11.00 and at 1.30 after lunch on the Lisbon Treaty . Both sessions will have international speakers and ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC........
After the end of the second session, those who want to stay could follow proceedings, participate but NOT vote in the IAWM AGM - with 12 resolutions and elections. Only paid up members of the organisation will have the right to vote and get elected.
I don't think there is any confusion.......
Details fo the speakers in the Events section of Indymedia
The AGM of the Irish Anti War Movement in which twelve motions will be discussed and a steering committee elected , is fitted in at the end of an anti-Lisbon conference .From 15:45 - 17:30 , that’s 105 minutes . Eight minutes for each resolution to be proposed debated and voted on , five minutes to elect the steering committee with four minutes left over to sum up ,thank everyone for coming etc. I don’t see how that is going to work Michael , I really can’t see the membership putting up with that.
Very nice Poster!
Poster in Dublin City
I really can’t see the membership putting up with that.
the "members" will of course put up with it , and without a word of complaint.
Firstly nobody knows who the members are. And secondly any fool with a fiver can be a member anyway. Which of course dis empowers everybody,
The IAWM is democratic exactly the same as Ireland is democratic. Members are free to be spectators , but kept strictly out of anything that matters.
That is why the IAWM hardly exist outside the SWP.No self respecting person would not involve themselves in this farce.
Secondly the majority of the "members" who show up, or a very large proportion, will be the SWP seat fillers who are normally bussed in for such events.
They will vote strictly to the party line. So in fact there is only one member that matters. Mr Central committee.
Richard Boyd Barrett who is desperate for a career job in the system he claims to want to destroy monopolizes the chair for the seventh successive year.
Makes the rest look like spineless idiots doesn't it?
...nails on the head has he just hit? More than one. Very well said.
It was a good day yesterday.
All three sessions were packed - and, interestingly, different sets of people came for each session. The Lisbon session was particularly animated.
Anonymous best-wishers can moan and groan as much as they like, comrades continuing to work hard can be called as many names as you wish ["spineless idiots" was the latest literary flourish], but the iawm continues to function and grow.
Thanks to all fo you who were there yesterday and, despite the hardship, continue to read and comment in Indymedia
Details of the meetings and the resolutions to follow
Michael Y wrote that details on the AGM and on its resolutions would follow - that was a week ago . There have been no reports of the meetings either here or on the iawm website since . This suggests to me that there is something seriously wrong with the organization .
The IAWM webmaster put up a notice on the 28th May advertising a CAEUC public meeting . Other than that there has been nothing said publicly by the organization this week at all . War against Iran could be only a few months away .This is not just my opinion or the view of a few anonymous moaners and groaners on indymedia . Newspapers around the world are speculating about whether Israel will use the remaining days of the Bush presidency to make new ‘facts on the ground’ in the middle-east .
Just yesterday former German foreign minister and Vice Chancellor Joschka Fischer wrote in the Lebanon Daily Star that an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities is likely to take place in the near future. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/87777
Nobody can say for certain how things are going to pan out of course , but given the threats coming from Israel and America , the silence from the IAWM is bewildering.
"Details of the meetings and the resolutions to follow"
To date there has been no report either here or on the IAWM ‘s own website of this public meeting/AGM . It would be interesting to hear how the debates on the twelve AGM resolutions went .
On its website the IAWM has no mention of the threats being made on a daily basis by America and its allies against Iran , but it has found room to reprint uncritically an article from last Sunday’s Tribune calling for sanctions against Zimbabwe .
