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.

North Sea ?Has Three Times More Oil and Gas? Than Government Claims Sun Sep 21, 2025 13:00 | Richard Eldred
Britain's North Sea could have 14 billion barrels of oil and gas ? three times what the Government reckons ? but sky-high taxes and drilling bans are leaving it in the ground while jobs and cash go begging.

Rory, AEIP dont have anything to worry about - while the likes of warmongers Blair and Berlusconi are off having their dinner in Castleknock, your "coalition" (yeah right, with around ten people attending meetings) will be four miles away, listening to music. Why have AEIP decided to walk away from any meaningful protest? Probably has something to do with upcoming local elections.
Once again you are making a name for yourself off the efforts of other groups. Well done to the Grassroots Network for bringing the Noise to the doorstep of the bureacrats dinner. No to neoliberalism, no to authoritarian marxism.
.. and then whinge when people make the connection. It looks like we'll get the same scum who caused all the violence in Genoa etc. Of course, there'll still be morons here who'll prattle on about the police causing it. Bullshit! You'll never accept responsibility, will you?
Sorry alphabet person (abcdefghij) above, but time will tell- i seriously don't see grassroots getting anywhere near the dinner- going on other demos and police presense. From accounts I've heard on preperations for mayday hearn called to the grassroots meeting on saturday and offered to link up AEIP and grassroots demos. AEIP have support from many organisations and its carnival is getting a great response! Local/Euro elections may have scared off some on the left from the carnival and scare mongering- AEIP area still organising.
You are just a narc trying to drive a wedge between groups on the left-
Anyway, YOU are probablly a copper- so get lost. Your certainly helping them no end. See you mayday in your riot gear!
Are you referring to the Gardai? They're the only violent people that have entered the equation so far. As is clear from the statements of the various organisers of the protests and other events (whether it's the Grassroots Network or the SWP's "Another Europe Is Possible") this is an entirely peaceful affair.
So your assertion doesn't carry any weight unless you provide some evidence.
If you're not going to do that then you may as well not bothering posting.
Wow 'Bloody Typical' I'd no idea the violent group that caused all the trouble in Genoa were turing up in Dublin in significant numbers! I presume you referring to the blue bloc thugs who shot one protester dead and hospitalised hundreds?
For those interested. One of the first principles adopted by the Dublin Grassroots Network was that in our presswork we would not criticise the actions of other groups, including the SWP. Given the media habit of taking comments from indymedia as if they were press statements if might be wise to save the airing of differences for another time and occasion. That is if its not a case of trolls/cops simply stirring shit.
In terms of getting near Farmleigh there is no guarantee that we will succeed. But we are starting out with the intention to find ways around the attempt to ban demonstrations on the north side of the river. Our current assembly point for the Farmleigh march (6pm Benburb st) is actually inside the exclusion zone!
the SWP event will be on the south side near heuston station, there will probably be a line of cops across the bridge stopping people getting anywhere near the phoenix park.
The grassroots meeting point is on the north side pretty much across the river from the SWP stage.. (assuming we will be able to get there if there are cops on the bridge and they are surrounded by protestors on all sides they might get a little panicked (even if there is nothing to actually be worried about) and they might do something stupid.. so people should use their judgement on the day to avoid a flashpoint on parkgate street
The State are now going into over-drive. They are doing their utmost to scare people away from any sort of protest. They DO NOT want people to think about the issues.
It's simple really. They feed a steady stream of lies and mis-information to the corporate media. Their technique is to 'criminalise' protestors through these wild allegations and drive a wedge between those prepared to go out and protest and those still wondering about what it's all about.
If you can criminalise any particular group, then since most people don't want to be associated with criminals, they immediately distance themselves from them. Once this has been achieved or near-achieved, whenever you strike up conversation with people, the effect of (societal) peer pressure kicks in and people do not want to hear what you have to say and will also in their own minds label you likewise.
The effect of the propaganda is more an emotional one on people and this can be seen later in how they react negatively to any discussion of the topic.
By this simple measure, the government / State achieves it's aim of social control and everyone can go back to be distracted from the main issues by focusing on celebrities of all kinds.
Other examples and forms of control in a slightly different context can be read about at:
On the basis of past excesses by long-haired freaks in other countries, it is prudent of the Gardai to arm themselves.
We don't want an influx of longhairs from abroad rampaging through our streets. If they do they'll get an Irish solution, a belt across the head and they deserve it. They should have got some discipline when they were young.
