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 12Yesterday in the Dail Bertie asked Joe why he had called protestors Virtual Warriors. Mr Ahern said:" Ah Joe, they were trying to pull down the fence and there you were, badmouthing them. You didnt even buy them a pint."
As Mr Higgins spluttered in an incomphrehensible Kerry dialect, Mr Ahern went on to say: "Your propaganda chief Lord Haugh Haugh implied the guards might fire into the crowd, sure you knew well that would not happen".
You are probably a member of Fianna Fail.
Why don't you give your real name you class traitor! Yes maybe Higgins is sewing reformist illusions in the Proletarian masses but those direct action hippies are pliant tools of the bourgeois media!
You trot twat.
Yeah yeah, trot away all you like, you trot. FF are in power and are staying there. You're just an impotent little rant-merchant.
As for the report above re: Rumsfeld, this is just more proof that indymedia is nothing more than a hard left rantpage dressing itself up as 'journalism'. Rumsfeld NEVER said that WMD may 'never have been' there. He said they may have been destroyed before the war. These are two very different things. Imagine a 'news' site that can't even get this much right.
But then, the chances of indymedia making even the tiniest impression in this or any other country are precisely nil.
I walked out of an address by one of the founding fathers of the Autonomedia collective. Now as you might well know Autonmedia/slash are a NYC based media and autonomy (anarchism) site and network, they amongst other things published versions of TAZ. Anyway I walked out, because their team decided to address Barcelona through the funding of the CCCB OVNI festival in english.
not in español, not in Catalan. in english, boring monotonous manhatten english.
I am accordingly writing to the autonomedia collective this weekend to register my disappointment, lest the reader think this is a meaningless tangent, it is not, autonomedia function rather like indymedia and indeed there is much common ground, and well they have made more than "the tiniest impression in this or any other country".
so Jason Grehan you're talking shite.
Indymedia and it's allied orgs. make quite an impression everywhere, and maybe if the arts funding in the Irish equivalent to the BCN CCCB afforded you all the privelage you could listen to the autonomedia collective and watch their interesting video collection entitled "the road to September 11th".
I certainly think such an entertaiment might suit an english speaking country better....
oh, Jason, (I can call you Jason can't I¿?)
-you are an arsehole.
To be called an arsehole by the likes of some delusional marxist on a site like this actually counts as a high honour. I haven't a clue what 'autonomedia' or whatever it is you just rambled on about actually is, and I would bet that neither does 99.99% of the population of this or any other country. If you really do make more than the slightest impression on anyone, kindly demonstrate it by, say, stopping a war sometime??
and I am not a marxist.
as an anarchist activist I have contributed to several global reach projects some of which have been atributed to stopping several wars, causing 240,000,000 stg damage to the cities of London, Seattle, Genoa, NYC. We also have been atttributed with stopping many other and the same cities from damage as well. Jason I have googled for all variants of your name,
****you have made such a slight impression on everyone, that you don't even get into Google.
so you haven't begun to be "googlewashed" out of Google, or else I would have your contact details.
so, sorry for calling you an arsehole, you are just a "silly sod", and as such are "·welcome·" to the site and all it's affiliates.
you may read about autonomy
at
http://www.autonomedia.org
and
http://www.infoshop.org
or even try going to some local "meetings" there are many organised in Dublin, where you will learn about the ·good· work done by non-marxist groups which are "autonomous".
Trans Autonomous Zone
quite popular, if you had gone to university along with 99.9% of the planet's population outside of Ireland, and elected to read a "contemporary arts or politics" course of studies you would Jason, have heard of that book.
so iosaf offers you a link.
read it then criticise it here perhaps maybe o as if and join in the "movement".
Iosaf, as a member of the slash autonomedia group im both bemused and troubled by your walk out in catalonia/spain. from your posting I assume you speak english and so conclude that your walk out was in solidarity with those who dont. Was the talk translated? Did you offer to translate if it was not? as it goes the choice was to send someone without spanish or noone. Autonomedia is based in Brooklyn rather than Manhattan, the accents are quite distinct.
as to the similarities with indymedia, they are many but the distinctions are worth a mention. Slash code allows the site to be moderated and allows users to configure and manipulate to taste. Moderation allows a fluid editorial group to choose not to publish some material. You will notice (and appreciate) the absence of reactionary garbage, conspiracy theory, sectarianism, market libertarianism, Zionist propaganda and any number of other symptoms of mental disease routinely published on indymedia. Furthermore those who create a username and password and who bother to log in can themselves moderate the comments sections on each story by scoring comments, users settings can then allow them to have all comments appear or only those that are informative, interesting, usefull, thoughtful etc. All for a healthier mental environment!
that way those who would use other peoples labour to promote fianna fail can be read by only the most studious and thick skinned. we already know the arguments we have with right wingers, on slash you can choose not to have them practice on you.
Good to see someone getting stuck in to them. if joe can keep the pressure up it will be of great help in keeping the ideas of the anti war movement to the fore front in the public mind.
At least Joe Higgins and the SP have the cop on, ability and support from real PEOPLE to get someone elected into the Dail. You virtual warrior hippy dippy anarchoid fucks havn't got one iota of cop on or organisational ability you couldn't even organise a fucking bus to Evian without fucking up!! With all your attacks on the 'trots', that read like red scares from the British Tory tabloid press from the 1980s, you are acting as tools for the bourgeois by discrediting decent hard working working class activists.
If you are going to have a go at the 'trots' why don't you please use some better arguments than shite that Joe higgins is meant to have said etc... Why don't you try to critisise what Trotsky actually stood for? Why don't you put forward your problems with international socialism and the permanent revolution?
ANARCHISM = STALINISM
