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.

Same shit, different flies a lifetime of dealing with authoritarians trying to shut him up
VID (4 mins) - Ciaron O'Reilly beat up but upbeat!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSyZI1kGrHs
for more objective information about what happened on london anarchist bookfair here is a timeline from the day, as far as I understand put together by organizers who tried to deal with the conflict on the day...
http://bookfairtimeline.wordpress.com/
I was present, and feel really saddened and angry about what happened...
All i read everywhere is outcry about Ciaronf being attacked/censored, without any expectations on him to take responsibility for his threatening misogynist, racist and homophobic behaviour....or not at all need to change it...
The fact that someone has done lot of good doesn't mean that they are perfect person or right in every way....
I wish there would be more challenge to misogyny, racism and transphobia back here too. Sure it would lead to less exclusive spaces...
We have long way to go and a lot of work to do to challenge manarchism...
The bookfair debacle has been done to death on indymedia.org.uk. We don't need it on here too, although this article could be seen as an invitation to kick the debate off again.
The timeline mentioned in the comment above is just as subjective as everything else. First hand accounts that didn't fit the intersectionalist agenda didn't get included in it so I wouldn't take that as a definitive record of what happened.
I'd recommend the article about the intersectionalists - it explains a lot.
i agree from large part, no need for another pointless back and forth online flamewar, and no one is perfect...
i think i've read the thing about "intersectionalists",
but to be honest i am tired of seeing this fight within the radical left, need to decide "who is right and who is wrong" and our inability to have a discussion - the case on london bookfair is very nice example - where "older left" dismisses younger feminist/intersectionalist generation and vice versa... in my understanding anarchism has never been about (false) unity..
i think there is very little understanding, and very little will to be challenged, fear of loosing status quo etc...
The question is one of censorship. The issue is one of free expression. If you can't get it right on that, give up the label anarchist
and minimise the confusion
O'Reilly was street speaking a above 20 yards from the entrance to the London Anarchist Bookfair (similar style and content to the video above). A dozen or so people were engaged. in the forum, when the forum was attacked.
These British authoritarians (like Maggie Thatcher their gender is irrelevant, call them intersectionalists, anarchists, whatever) acted like the self entitled middle class products of an imperial culture that they are when dealing with someone who is Irish and working class who obviously does not know his place in the latest Brit casr system. They did not engage or "challenge", they closed down a forum by drowning it out with infantile chanting of insults (based on age weight ethnicity gender). They then physically assaulted O'Reilly hoping he would reply in kind, so they could play the gender card. This is generally know as the "kick the dog" strategy. Kick the dog until it bites and then have it put down.
They were invited to have a rational debate, but were either incapable of rational debate or would not lower themselves to engage someone they believed was beneath them. Their authoritarian behavior was challenged by an older working class Turkish anarchist, but their attitude to Turks is the same as to the Irish it seems.
They then made a huge tactical error of expanding their lynch mob to attack the Manning Solidarity event at The Casa, the Dockers pub in Liverpool. There they assaulted Casa bar staff, who happen to be members of the organised working class. The lynch mob now have a major issue with the Liverpool Dockers and are presently running scared. Don't think they will be taking this behaviour beyond their London Anarchist Bookfair playground.
Interesting development on the left this "intersectionalism". PC gone mad and losing sight of the common goals.
If I was a vested interest threatened by left politics and intersectionalism did not exist, I would probably invent it to divide and conquer my adversaries.
Ciaron is a force for good on the left. It's disappointing to see him a victim of this divisive nonsense.
As they say, "no good deed goes unpunished" , eh Ciaron?
All I can do is sigh and shrug when I read of the ideology-driven backbiting and niggling snide talk among people who claim to be aiming at a better and just society. This internal feuding is a greater constraint to achieving working relationships with a wider public than any conspiracy-driven infiltration, deception and splitting tactics that state police and military intelligence could devise. Who needs enemies with such self defeating activities and thinking among small campaigning groups?
No, these are the actual methods of COINTELPRO. It makes it look like infighting when in fact it is completely orchestrated
Mr. Apel Goes to Washington
Supreme Court Skeptical About Free Speech at Vandenberg Air Force Base
Thursday, December 12, 2013
by NICK WELSH
John Dennis Apel estimates he’s appeared in front of a judge about 20 times in as many years, so being in court is almost old hat for the veteran Catholic Worker peace activist from Guadalupe. But last week, Apel acknowledged he was more than a little nervous about appearing in front of all nine judges making up the U.S. Supreme Court as part of a legal showdown pitting his free speech rights against the property rights of the military commanders at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. Unfortunately for Apel, it turned out many of the justices were much more focused on property rights and impatient with attempts by his attorney, Erwin Chemerinsky, to keep raising the free speech issue. “You keep sliding into the First Amendment issue,” said Justice Antonin Scalia, scolding Chemerinsky. “You can raise it, but we don’t have to listen to it.”
