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.

Indeed it has been functioning as a feeder of staff for the mainstream stations as you proudly boast. "Modern rock" me arse.
Who are Phantom FM? and what are their policies?
Good stuff, we could do with an decent reliable indie station in the city. Good luck.
Whats the status with the full licence application?
horray.
the last poster was right, phantom is no more pirate that keith richards.

It's certainly true that Phantom FM have taken an extremely conservative approach to coming back on air following the BCI's raid earlier this year - Whereas most of the other pirates such as the dance ones like KISS FM and others playing for example 70's;80's; and 90's music (SUN 101.2 FM; JAM FM; and another unidentified station on 88.1FM) have come back on air Phantom stayed silent - The reason? Probably as they admit themselves they still want a licence to broadcast legally - But I believe that anybody who wants to; should be allowed to set up their own radio station; so long as they don't cause any interference - This should apply to TV as well.
That's nonsense, Paul, and you well know it. If anyone is allowed to set up their own station, the commercial groups will quickly dominate the airwaves even quicker than before. What you're basically proposing is full deregulation, rather than proper reform of the licence system.
It's also a recipe for engineering chaos...although there is certainly room for a few more stations on FM in Dublin (AM is a different matter - good potential there), it's not a great and undiscovered land...there are natural limits to how much you can squeeze in before everyone's signal quality suffers.
This decision, in particular, is extremely shortsighted. It removes yet another frequency from general use in Dublin. 97.3 has been used by numerous colleges and community groups for one-week licences in the past - with the ever-commercialised Phantom occupying the weekend slot, that's not going to be possible. The temporary stations have been driven up and down the band, after the loss of 106.8 and 103.8 over the past few years. The Commission should be allocating more stations for community/institutional use...not reinforcing the commercial domination of the Dublin airwaves. And I don't give two hoots if the music is more 'credible'. Ultimately it's the same story, but with guitars.
But it's OK, cause 'pirate' sounds, like, radical, and cool, right?
There is an indymedia ireland radio list.
= join it.
To use radio as a communicative/subversive/activist tool you don't need to be the owner/licensed user. you just need to find "space".
---- and keep it. And those nasty fascists who are trying of late to silence pirate stations throughout Europe can stop it right now!
and if anyone is within reception distance the third in the series of broadcasts "E.S.P.=elektro-sagrada-profana" will happen @ about 00h00 - 03h00 tonight/tomorrow morning. 91.4 FM BarCeloNa.
With a wide cross selection of vibrationary rates, clues for the wise and fumbling with the microphone. (We promise not to play Eddy Grant's electric avenue this week).
Daithi; With more and more people using automatic scanning, and/or digital radios you can fit an awful of stations onto the FM band. This digital tuners are very precise - For example on my Sony walkman radio you can tune it to every 0.05 MHz. You are right though about the AM band not being utilised - This has always been a bone of contention with me; there should be more people broadcasting on AM because you can transmit much further distances than FM. Finally I'll just repeat what I said in my original posting just in cause there was any confusion "But I believe that anybody who wants to; should be allowed to set up their own radio station; so long as they don't cause any interference - This should apply to TV as well."
phantom have to make to get back on air?
Can't wait to hear Pearl's show on a Sunday again! Yay!
