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.

Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist Sat Sep 20, 2025 09:00 | Hannes Sarv
It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

A further update.....
From information received today it appears that the Gardai intend issuing stickers to all vehicles in Shannon. Any vehicle without a sticker attempting to enter Shannon during the Bush visit will be searched, occupants requested to show proof of identity and purpose of visit to Shannon. It is questionable how reliable this information is but it would be consistant with measures already taken. When asked the Gardai again refused to confirm any details of the security operation.
We have also heard that a large wedding reception is due to take place in Dromoland Castle on the afternoon of 26th of June. What implications this may have in terms of whether the summit will actually take place at Dromoland is unclear. Bush is due to leave (apparently) by noon, this wedding reception is due to begin in the late afternoon.
Dominic's information is accurate and we've already factored all these possibilities into our plans.
As far as Anti-War Ireland is concerned, we have the right to peaceful assembly and protest in Shannon town. It is up to the Garda whether or not they intend to trample on our civil rights by banning the march. If they do this, we have a backup plan, but as far as we are concerned we have the right to protest in Shannon and we will continue to press that point. We will not assume that we are banned before it actually happens.
Incidentally, we now know that Bush will land at Shannon airport just after 8pm. This is a certainty, and he has actually cancelled an event he was to attend that day in Cape Cod in order to facilitate this. Our information comes directly from the White House press advisors (via a circuitious route).
Consequently, the Anti-War Ireland demonstration will now assemble in Shannon town centre at 7pm.
All interested are requested to also assemble at 7 pm with the main demonstration. Make sure that you bring a mask or balaclava and to help us to move in a coherent manner, dress in black. If possible come with friends.
The media are instructed to stay at least 15 feet away from the Bloc at all times. Others may not mind being photographed but we do. When the Padded Bloc is passing all photograhers must in their own interests move back.
Maybe in the interests of holding a non violent protest the Padded Bloc should assemble apart from the main group.
Also photographers and journalists have a right to photograph anyone who turns up at a demonstration without fear of attack from masked protesters as is hinted at by the above post
The call above looks very much like shit-stirring to me. It does not read like a black block call at all. Somebody is trying to cause splits between those who dress in black and those who don't. Treat with caution.
I reckon its the Men In Black who are causing the splits. How many activists think its a good idea to mask up on demos, not very many going on the number who actually wear masks. Why do you think the calls a fake. It just seems to reflect the men MIBs attitude to the press

Look at him go...
Or is that "B Bloc" or "VB" or "NVDA"?
Compare the comment above with previous calls for a padded block - not very similar is it? No mention of goals, reasons or any of the important stuff, just a repeat of the nonsense about journalists.
Now, compare the comment above with the type of thing that "VB", "NVDA" and "Punter" have been writing on the site for the last week or so - looks much more similar doesn't it?
Since somebody is very clearly trying to cause splits here and ensure as much hostile media coverage as possible, I'd advise any of our readers to assume that any comments about black blocks that are not corroborated by an identifiable source with extreme scepticism.
Do you think that anyone who disagrees with you is an agent of a foreign power? Do you check under your bed for Trots every night maybe you should check the wardrobe as well.
Why dont you deal with the issues raised instead of being paranoid about every comment and question. Can you not accept that some of us out there dont like your mates in the Black Bloc and think that protests would be better without masked idiots? That doent mean that you rule out all direct action just that you go along with whats agreed with at the organising meetings. You dont have to wear a mask to breach a fence. Most who do so dont hide their faces.
Mary Kelly and the CW5 certainly never felt the need to wear masks.
Pundit it is interesting that you should raise the question as to whether or not you are a trot because I didn't.
the specific refference to the media without any more details is so obviously
"How many activists think its a good idea to mask up on demos,"not my way of doing things but i don't mind if others do...
Orange boilersuits anyone?
.
No informed Black Blocer would tell people to wear balaclavas.
This person is an idiot or a troll and should be ignored.
David
members of the Black Bloc wear balaclavas and masks. Therefore your point does not make sense. Of course they would call on people to dress in that manner. You have stated that you participate in BB events, have you not worn a balaclava/mask?
