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.

really recommend it to everyone else. Adds a bit of spice to office life anyway!
ah, the memories...................
Just watched the video - have a look for sure you won't be seeing this on RTE (this side of the revolution!)
It is astounding to see so many short documentaries and documentation about varying subjects suddenly popping up on indymedia ireland. I count six from irishheads and one from abroad on the newswire at present alone.
Hope to see the trailers linked to / uploaded for this mayday one. The one about mcDowell and the wombles is a stone cold classic.
Also the various bush in ireland films would be good to see on here.
great to see it make it to the site by the way.

really amazing stuff guys! made my heart race watching it!!!!
You fuckin got it
That is one lame cartoon - like sure when we got to the Ashtown roundabout we were shocked to discover the massed ranks of Fergal Quinn, Tony O'Reilly and Michael Smurfit waiting to show us the error of our ways. LOL
this is great stuff. thanks to whoever took the time to prepare this and publish it. and just in time for all the '05 action too!
can anyone convert it to a format playable in mac? this aint my puter so i ain goin messin, the audio is savage..!
I'll put it up in DivX (which you can view with a Mac) format soon, and post the link here.
You can view it with a mac but I think you need to have installed some sort of Microserf product

Bush's Hundred Thousand Unwelcomes
shame about the cheesy sub-idm soundtrack.
It's a shame that the majority of video available here is in the Windows Media Player format (.wmv) as it precludes users of Macs from viewing. Microsoft publishes a free version of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X however due to the belligerent nature off the Microsoft Corporation this software does not work. I suppose that users of any operating system other that Windows find all .wmv files unplayable due to Microsoft’s eternal quest for market-share.
Could these clips be repackaged in a different format? Is it possible to avoid the .wmv format wherever possible or to make two versions of video files available?
people are learning hand over fist about this video publishing racket around here at present and positive input is better than bitchin and moaning about 'the man'
I was pointing out why I couldn't read the file and informing any other users that the Mac version of Windows Media Player doesn't.
In the ideal world everything would be quicktime friendly.
You my friend should calm down.
I'm a Mac user and had no problem playing the .wmv video file. Simply install the Windows media player for whatever Mac version you have (Freeware).
