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.

The New Schools Guidance on Gender Ideology is a Disgrace Sat Oct 04, 2025 09:00 | Caroline Ffiske
The new schools guidance on gender ideology was published in July, and it's a disgrace, says Caroline Ffiske. It normalises the concept of 'gender reassignment', encouraging children to question their biological sex.

Wes Streeting condemned Nigel Farage as "racist" but also slammed new NHS guidance praising cousin marriage. Doesn't he realise that pushing such 'cultural' ideas is what Reform was warning against, says Steven Tucker.

Thanks for those words of encouragement - much appreciated.
The same local group that organised the event last year are involved with this Commemoration as well , so it should go as planned .
Thanks!
Sharon.

we got leaflets in a pub in bluebell over the weekend about this commemoration . there was a few lads putting them on each table and a good reaction from the punters in the pub
c u then
Hi again , Derek!
The only thing against a successful Commemoration seems to be the weather - but we've been out in it before and will be again this coming Sunday no matter what it's like !
"Keep this in mind Aine* my dear love. Tell Ronan** I'm dying for Ireland. When he gets sense and wisdom he will understand that much. Sweet is death for one's country. This is the 7th day of May 1916."

RSF Colour Party , Tomás and Andy.
that went very well on sunday - dignified ceremony , respectable crowd ,
even the weather held up for us!
well done rsf for holding this event
Hi again, Derek!
Nice talking to you on Sunday - you're every bit as sincere as I knew you would be.
The commemoration was a very 'tidy' and well-organised affair - everything , thankfully, went according to plan (except for that minor hic-cup with the camera!) and , as you said - the sun came out for us!
We have your mobile number on file and we'll keep in touch with you and yours via text plus we will continue to publicise up-coming events here on 'Indymedia' as well .
Thanks again!
Sharon.
I was at this commemoration myself,I traveled down from meath to join in,
I was suprised at the way the sunshined when the march from superquinn started off,
It felt like somebody was watching over us!!
I have to say fair play to Andy for chairing the proceedings and to tomas for his detailed speech!
Also to the colour party well done lads,
Long may the sun shine onto our backs as we commemorate our patriotic dead
Hi Peter!
Glad you could make it - thanks for taking the time to travel to it . Sort of makes a show of us Dubs for not travelling to Meath RSF events as often as we should!
Andy and Tómas are both experienced campaigners and , between them , had arranged for that 90-odd minute gap in the otherwise grey skies- we'll expect you and the Meath crew to do the same for us next time we're in your neck of the woods!
Thanks for your comment !
Sharon.
Dont worry sharon I will let everybody know when we are holding a commemoartion and hopefully the sun will come out for us!!
we have a new web-site up and running:
