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.

Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Hello! We are sharing the same will that May Day is an important day: The International Workers Day - day-off strictly respected in France, remembering the struggle of workers since generations enabling us to get to aim to proper working conditions - But this day is the 1st of May, whatever week day this might be, and not the 30th of April, as being a saturday this year... Don' t get me wrong. This day is, since years, a day of protest and reflection towards the situation of workers worldwide. For it to be put on a different one is just aiming to emphasize the power the "ruling class" has on us, excluding the only day we might have on their agenda.
I will obviously be part of the demo on the 30th of April, but just wanted to raise this point, as symbolism can be taken as a detail, but has an important impact on our daily life.
Come on the march and join the 'get Up Stand Up' Block. See http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=69434
It's a great idea to make solidarity with migrant workers the theme of the march.
Now it's up to us to make sure that the march isn't the usual damp squib by actually building for it. God knows the DCTU never show much interest in actually advertising it and encouraging people to come.
I doubt it will though
turkish workers - yes we'll stand up for them
nigerians denied the right to the dignity of work for years - who is standing up for them in the trade unions? Not fucking many that I've seen.
RAR is planning just what you ask for.
Expect to see asylum seekers from a diversity of nationalities at this year's May Day in solidarity with the GAMA workers and other migrants.
This is one of the most important May Day celebrations in a long time. We the Irish working class must show all immigrant workers that we are 100% behind them in their fight for their rights as workers and citizens of the world.
Please do you're best to be there.
Bring a Red Flag.
Here's why it's on 30 Apr, not May 1st
This shows mature judgement by the Trade Union leaders - high time too - who obviously have decided to change the day as a mark of respect to his Holiness the Pope - they realise that coming so soon after his recent death it would surely be sinful to profane the Sabbath with a communist parade, keeping people away from Mass and true salvation.
In fact, they will probably want to be at Mass themselves, begging God's forgiveness for ever having incited workers to disobey the Lawful Authority he has placed on Earth.
In any case, Paisley and the Arsebishop of Dublin will be well chuffed to see such wonderful pre-emptive submission.
30th April is also the feast day of St. Judas the Pious Scab, can this be a coincidence?
