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 Exaltation of the Cross Tue Sep 23, 2025 15:00 | Chris Larkin
Church leaders are too quick to condemn Tommy Robinson and the Unite the Kingdom march, says Chris Larkin. We don't know what Jesus would have made of our politics, but we can?t just assume he?d have been a Lib Dem voter.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9On 4th April 2002, Rumy Hasan (SWP member of 16 years' standing) and Sue Blackwell (SWP member of 19 years' standing) sent a joint letter of resignation to the Central Committee of the SWP. Until now, hardly anyone has seen the text of this letter and no-one outside the SWP has seen Sue's accompanying statement
Leaving the SWP is like leaving an abusive relationship: for years you stay, hoping in vain that they will change, even that YOU will be able to play a part in changing them. In the end you have to admit that you will never change them, and if you don't leave they will change you , for the worse, maybe for ever. Funny, but that's exactly what the SWP says about the Labour Party. Once you have taken that decisive, painful step, you can finally see things in perspective and realise just how bullied you were for all those years. It takes a while to recover your self-esteem. I now feel much more confident about expressing my political views: I can vote in any meeting according to my conscience, without having to look over my shoulder or worry about what the "party line" is.
Is this the party you want to belong to. Did you all know about this in Belfast or was it all kept within your PC and CC as always. Are you going to wait to be shoved or are you going to try and 'effect change'. Open your eyes yous are better than these Stalinist shites. You will have many coming with you I know.
could ppl keep to the issue here. just because sth is happening ourside dublin, in, check your maps now...Galway...ppl seem content to ramble off on old news..the same is happening with the comments on the feature article...
Fuck irving
Fuck gr vs swp
Most posters (pardon the pun) think that there are serious freedom of speach issues here.
So, we need to , as the old phrase goes 'unite on the basis of what we have in common'...as we did, sucessfully, in Dublin, when they tried to do the same
Leaflets, pamhplets, websites, posters, stencils, music, poetry and the like are many of us communicate.
If Galway City Council is allowed to ban leaflets many social movements will be hard hit in one of the more "socially aware" cities of Ireland.
Perhaps it would be an idea to suggest that if the ban goe ahead it is only on "advertising or commercial" leaflets which I understand is the _real_ problem.
If you want to help GR Galway organised a campaign to defend the rights to free speech and assembly in Galway, one is going to be held in Java's Coffee house, Galway Thursday 7th of August at 8pm.
{didn't I do the solidarity thing there, sticking to the issue in hand and not even a little mention of the O.W.F.G.R.C.}
:-)
I noticed you even deleted my comments. my meeting was intereupted by leftist filth today. so much for you peoples belief in freedom of speech. you sould be sent to siberia to build monuments to your victims.
A comment ('reo' above) from Passage-West neo-Nazi Brian 'the Wally' Wallace! Wipe that forth from your lip Brian - you're making a holy show of yourself.
Sue is it really true that the SWP pushed for and entered a cross class socialist alliance. We are told nothing about these things and about lots of other things that are and have happened. Lots of members are reading this and other posts.
But shithead Brian has a point. Cheering about how you obstructed his right to leaflet and speak, while demanding that right for yourselves in Galway, stinks of fascism.
