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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10I get bored with the slagging of the SWP - but it is worthwhile to remind people of the problems they create for other activists.
'The Civil Rights Movement of Ireland' is the SWP's latest front. They have experimented with different titles in the recent past. But this one takes the cake.
As noted on an earlier thread it has the perfect name: 'just about covers every eventuality'
http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67894
The SWP has discredited and run much of the larger anti-war movement in Ireland into the ground, a shadow of its former self. To do this they use the front 'The Irish Anti-War Movement'
'THE Movement' - the THE implies that everyone would have to walk lock-step behind them. And the media took that THE pretty seriously until more recently.
There must be a instruction manual somewhere that says every self-respecting Trot group in the world has to have three essential elements: 1) An anti-war front 2) Strong union ties and 3) an Anti-Racist front.
- The IAWM is near non-existent these days and the media generally know its a SWP front.
- The SWP's trade union connections are rather shallow.
- And, for some time now, the SWP has had no anti-racism campaigns to brag about. They did have Davy Carlin's good work in the North, but he recently left the party in disgust.
And this is where we are today, Another Front Is Possible in the name of 'THE Civil Rights Movement of Ireland' Everyone march lock-step behind THE Civil Rights Movement of Ireland!
This title and their protest at Dáil Éireann at 6:30pm on Thursday has created confusion in the minds of Asylum Seekers, journalists, politicians and activists. Residents Against Racism has had to do a lot of leg work to UNconfuse people and explain that the RAR march and demo is at the Central Bank at 12:30pm on Thursday.
There is nothing wrong with having another demo at a different time, and nothing wrong with having another civil rights organisation - that is their right.
The name 'THE Civil Rights Movement of Ireland' is as arrogant as the name 'THE Irish AntiWar Movement' - the actual 'civil rights movement' of Ireland is bigger and stronger than either CRMI or RAR and is made up of dozens of organisations of different sizes and purposes.
After the Campaign Against The Racist Referendum, RAR focused much of its efforts on demanding that the government allow the non-Irish families of Irish citizen childrens to stay. Today it looks that, perhaps, that hard work may pay off:
'Immigrants with Irish children may get reprieve'
http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/front/2004/1214/pf778967254HM1RESIDENCY.html
Anyone want to take a bet who will be hijacking the media to take credit for this?
repeat again:
RAR March and Demo
Central Bank at 12:30pm on Thursday.

Irish population to reach five million within 15 years - CSO
http://irishexaminer.12hs.com/en_US/newsfeed/story.jhtml?s=54911615&r=1297&i=3822449&d=38143681
Ireland's population will surpass the five million mark within 15 years if current rates of births, deaths and migration continue, according to the Central Statistics Office.
In its Population and Labour Force Projections for 2006 to 2036, the CSO said a fall in net immigration appeared to be the only factor that could slow down population growth in the coming years.
--
Elsewhere, the CSO predicted that the labour force would reach 2.4 million by 2016, assuming that current rates of migration continue until then. At present, the labour force is made up of just under two million people.
When you say "Irelands" population are you referring only to the 26 cos ?
I would certainly hope not. Please clarify.
Why would he include the British part of Ireland? Central Statistics Office figures only cover the 26 counties. Try ringing the Home Office Barry if you want the figure for the Republic and the UK part.
can often be found in Dublin.
He clearly said the population of Ireland and "the Irish population", not the free-state. Ireland has 32 counties. Theres a huge difference between the population of the free-state and the population of Ireland which is the whole island.
Just because a bunch of free-staters sold us down the river to keep the Brits and the Catholic church happy doesnt mean Britain has any right to be here. British occupied Iraq still isnt British.
The Brits ocupied most of Ireland for 800 years. Does that mean all your ancestors were Brits ? Why dont you ring the Home Office and ask to be relocated, you partitionist free-state git ?
"the Brits occupied Ireland for 800 years"- this is a ridiculous statement and completely inaccurate.
I have to hear this one.
Enlighten me, please.
(Is this a joke or something)
what are you on about Barry, someone post something up about immigration figures and you start a discussion what 'Ireland' and 'Irish' means, you wrtie some good things but you could write less and keep to the point...
Sorry if It seems pedantic, but myself and 1000s of others are also Irish and live in Ireland. It looked to me like he was inferring we arent part of the Irish population. As far as im concerned its legitimate to ask him to clarify what he meant by "the population of Ireland ".
I only asked him a question and did not intend to get drawn into a stupid game of insults with those other 2 eejits.
and I don't live in Ireland, (either state) but I am Irish.
& Racism at home (Ireland) worries me as much as it worries me at home (Bcn), a city with more than 200,000 registered migrants and many more unregistered, who are doing their best to settle and prosper in a place with two languages, a country and statelet (catalonia) within another state and country (spain), with all the pedantic arguments you're well used to at home (ireland).
And these migrants have the same problems as in Ireland. And they have come because of European economics. Not because they threw a pin in the map and it landed on Dublin or Barcelona. Not because businessmen in either Dublin or Barcelona were so terribly clever with either Irish or Catalan cash to increase economic performance. They came because the EU brought them.
RAR understand this perfectly.
I don't support any attempt by the SWP to split the anti-racist / pro-migrant agenda, and hope that all other media professionals realise that there is already an established social collective and movement which has been working on this issue with very clear and real links and co-operation with and understanding of other social collectives and movements in the EU.
