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.

2003 was a vintage year for the anarchist bogeyman. He could be counted upon to appear whenever public discontent reared its ugly head. Thankfully, our politicians and media were eternally vigilant to the threat that he posed and were able to spot his plots and warn the easily-led 'ordinary person' to steer clear of him and his ilk.
In the Spring, as tens of thousands of US troops poured through Shannon airport on their way to beat the crap out of Iraq, things were getting a bit hot for Bertie when people started smacking planes with hammers and threatening to pull down fences. The bogeyman provoked a media frenzy, when he announced plans to protest at Shannon. Apparently these anarchists were capable of such 'violence' that thousands of Irish soldiers and gardai, and even the US military were powerless to resist!
Summer came and the World Economic Forum - the global elite's talking shop - announced that it would come to Ireland. Up popped the bogeyman, threatening to bring thousands of his foreign friends to cause mayhem on our peaceful isle. The brave and enterprising journalists of the Evening Herald managed to infiltrate his movement and splashed the news of a "Sinister" Anarchist plot on their front page. Apparently the bogeyman was planning "to destroy Dublin". It all proved too much for the poor government and they had to cancel the summit in the face of this terrible threat.
Autumn saw the bogeyman busy in the bin tax campaign. This time it was the Sunday Independent that warned the public of the dangers that he posed. As the blockades and protests reached their height, they revealed how anarchists had "infiltrated" the campaign in significant numbers.
Then, with the chill of Winter, he got a few ideas from his cousin, the phantom terrorist, and started posting letter-bombs to European bureaucrats. With Ireland about to take over the EU presidency, the bogeyman was now a real threat to us all.
On virtually every occasion that anarchists were mentioned in the media in 2003, it was in the context of a scare story about threatened violence.
The reality of anarchist activity was far, far different. While we were arrested, fined, injuncted and jailed in significant numbers for taking part in peaceful protests, we did not thrown a blow at a single person. Never once were we given a chance to give our side of the story.
However, it's not that much of a surprise that the media paints us in such a negative light. For a start most journalists are lazy hacks who prefer sensationalist scandals to real reporting. More importantly, the handful of rich and powerful people who control the media want to hold onto their power and are extremely hostile to anarchist ideas, which are based on equality, freedom and democracy. This is why we produce our own publications such as this newsletter - to give ourselves a chance to explain what we believe and what we do - and you're not likely to find that in the media.
"While we were arrested, fined, injuncted and jailed in significant numbers for taking part in peaceful protests, we did not thrown a blow at a single person."
Taking a leaf out of the SWP book? How many jailed then? Significant numbers?
There were at least a half dozen self-identifying anarchists jailed for protesting during the year. If you take the total number of anarchists active in Ireland and you look at the numbers who were jailed, fined, beaten or injuncted in the last year, you get a _very_ significant proportion. Try again, I'm sure if you examine the terminology closely enough, you can discover that we are actually the Labour Party.
So finally we have an admission in the above statement. Chekhov has admitted that the anarchists that run indymedia are bankrolled by the Labour Party. Finally some truth.
.
I really hope that was a joke, concerned.
If not, you can also find clear evidence in the above article that Indymedia, the Labour Party and anarchists are mutant-aliens from the planet Trotsky. That's the much more important story.
Come on Chekhov, answer the questions and don't engage in typical policitian evasion: are indymedia bankrolled by alien labour party Trots or not? Why do you keep evading this issue and refusing to answer it?
What are you asking the guy from Star Trek about aliens for. He's obviously been sent back from the future to save the planet and so can't tell you a thing under the prime directive!
it is now obvious that indy is bankrolled by the swp. rbb, why havent i received this weeks payoff?
You are forgetting one very important thing about Indymedia.
"There is the theory of the moebius. A twist in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop, from which there is no escape. When we reach that point, whatever happened will happen again."
that explains magneto and tintin/magma repeating the same mantras about labour and sp. doomed forever to fight the same fights.
