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.

SWP local election candidates disappear

national | politics / elections | news report

Friday April 23, 2004 20:07

by Website watcher

Report this post to the editors

The SWp initially announced that they would be standing fifteen local election candidates. Now a revised list has appeared on their website. Three of them have disappeared.

The three missing candidates are

Deirdre Cronin (Dundrum)
Kieran McNulty (Tralee)
Dick Roche (Waterford)

McNulty was an odd choice to stand in the first place. As the only active member of the SWP in the area he lacked any kind of support infrastructure. The other two removals from the list are harder to explain.

Roche was widely considered to be one of the few SWP candidates who might get a respectable vote. Cronin was going to do poorly, but probably no worse than most of the twelve remaining. The generously inclined might think that the SWP are making a non-sectarian gesture in standing here aside for a much stronger SP candidate in the same ward. The generously inclined would be wrong - the SWP are still standing a weak candidate against a stronger SP one in the Liberties.

The remaining candidates are just as weak with the exceptions of Richard Boyd Barrett and Brid Smith.

So what's going on? The SWP are now standing only in Dublin or the East coast. (with Gorey representing their furthest outlying candidate). The general weakness of the organisation outside of Dublin is all too plain, with their inability to find a candidate in any of the other major population centres.

The revised list of SWP candidates can be found below:

Brid Smith (Ballyfermot)
Richard Boyd Barrett (Dun Laoghaire)
Catherine Kennedy (Bray West)
Joyce Power (Bray North)
Christy Moore (Ballybrack)
Gino Kenny (Clondalkin)
Terry Connolly (Rathmines)
Kevin Wingfield (Ballymun/Whitehall)
John Carthy (Gorey)
Ritchie Browne (Artane/Coolock)
Shay Ryan (Dublin South East Inner City)
Brendan Donohoe (Dublin South West Inner City)
