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 Covid Response Was Not a Mistake ? It Was Just Wrong Mon Sep 22, 2025 17:35 | Dr David Bell
The Covid response was not an error, and it was not the result of rushing to counter an unknown pathogen. It was a lot of people, mostly professionals, systematically doing what they knew was wrong, says Dr David Bell.

Fair play to them, and to IMC
That documentary must have been the single most brilliant piece of film to be screened by RTE. It was well worth the license fee. Congratulations to the lads who made it. Does anybody know if its available for sale anywhere??

That's great to hear and will raise the awareness of the IMC.
I've seen the film and must say it's really excellent.
Excellent stuff indeed.
So much for Michael McDowells comment on radio one's Saturday view this year inviting the public to visit Indymedia to look at the "rubbish" that takes place here.
Though some of the stuff could be considered as rubbish i.e. Tim's point about "ego-battles trolling and petty bickering." - but the overall trust of the site (both here & worldwide), which McDowell was referring to, is excellent, important and exciting as Donnacha O' Brín states.
Even McDowell realises that the greatest weapon against the crypto-Marxist rubbish being written here is public exposure. Let the people see the lies you all write here and judge for themselves.

Oh lady in red...... Feck off chris.
Oh and kev and the sp heads who like to slag off the indymedia, doubt the voice or the worker ever got any praise period.
let the public judge for themselves.
needs to post twice under different names, the popular peoples front with only one member.
A 'directors cut' of the documentary will be introduced by Donnacha at Galway's Taibhdhearc on Thurs 13 November at 8 pm. The showing is organised for the benefit of GAAW.
Oh, and congratulations from GAAW to Kim, Donnacha and Dave on the most recent award
Congrats to Donnacha O Brín and Kim Bartlet! Congrats to IMC Ireland also!
I saw the documentary on tv the other day. It was excellent! Keep up the good work.
Good to see the fruits of labour finally getting harvested. Savage stuff!
They're on the run and getting tired!
FORWARDS!
Just came across this:
Massive support needed for petition against Amnesty International censorship of Venezuelan documentary: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
This really lowers my respect for Amnesty International. I had heard rumblings about them being reformist, but this confirms it.
The text below is taken from the above URL:
We write to express our deepest support for public viewings and screenings of the award winning documentary film, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” In light of the recent suspension of the film’s screening at the Amnesty International Film Festival to be held at the Pacific Cinematheque in Vancouver, British Columbia, from November 6-9, 2003, as a result of pressure from opposition groups in Venezuela and their international counterparts, we find it essential to declare our support for this revealing film, which evidences heinous human rights violations carried out during the April 2002 coup d’etat in Venezuela.
I have seen the movie and I thought it was very well done. I am interested in buying a copy in order to show to fellow students. Anyone can feel free to email me if they know how I can get a copy.
