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.

my favourite illustrations in today's english language press april fool's editions are Steve Bell's "hoody and 2 fingers" (which we discussed on the Orwell thread the other day C/f http://indymedia.ie/article/75075?&condense_comments=fa...44206 http://indymedia.ie/article/75075?&condense_comments=fa...44212 http://indymedia.ie/article/75075?&condense_comments=fa...44220 [ = blame PAt C he's the brit newspaper infiltrator] take on anti-social laws. http://www.guardian.co.uk/cartoons/stevebell/archive/0,....html,
and of course this by Frank Miller of the Irish Times http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/front/2006/0401/ (who doesn't mind us copying his stuff) of Perpignan / Perpinya fans who are playing Munster in Landsdowne road. Perpinya for those of you who don't know is in French occupied northern Catalonia.
Pau.
endevant.
sooner or later the French state will have to start talking peace and no doubt about it.
These brave men didn't need masks to make their point coz they're in the Irish Free State to play our national game Rugger . The Irish Free State under its Lehandakari / Taoiseach Bartholomew Ahern is in complete solidarity with the Paisos Catalanas Republic of tomorrow which will stretch from Perpinya and Rosello occupied by France in the north to Alghero in northern Sardinia occupied by Italy , {as soon as Alghero is liberated Paisos Catalanes will liberate the Sardinians from the Italians and build a peace wall. to the southernmost extremities of Valencia / Alicante occupied by Spain to the troublesome valley of Sant Julia de Lòria in the west occupied by Andorra.
of course not forgetting Ibiza which is occupied by Brit drug dealers and DJ's
And thus to prove the solidarity, it is no surprise that Lehandakari Ahern has announced the building a new bull fighting ring at the Tara M50 interchange, to be called the Tain Bo Coolering.
oppressed northern catalans can fly their flag in southern ireland.
democracy has nothing to do with establishing paisos catalanes. And lehandakari Ahern can stuff his bull ring, Catalans don't have bull fights. & we've dropped our claims on Alghero in Sardinia.
Its this sort of prejudice and ignorance which makes us a laughing stock of national liberation movements globally. Columbus was a Catalan. He wrote his diary in Catalan. A catalan discovered the Americas. not an Irish monk, not a basque fisherman. It was us.
The protest above was a serious action. at a serious wall. for serious people.
& rugger is not your national sport it is an imposition of the French state along with "le basket" and has done our young people as much damage as the imposition by the Spanish state of the "bottelon". Our kids don't need bubblegum, don't want to drink on the street, and don't play your imperialist games.
Yiz can all Fk off. we'll find solidarity elsewhere.
the serious reader can go to this link and learn about our homeland in english. not gaeilge.

I'm sympathetic to catalan nationalism (well, why should Madrid be the place where decisions about people in Figueres' lives?) but the following national myth-making is an example of how ready even the 'nationalism of the oppressed' can easily lend itself to justifying colonialism;
"Columbus was a Catalan. He wrote his diary in Catalan. A catalan discovered the Americas. not an Irish monk, not a basque fisherman. It was us."
Funny, I thought it was the Native Americans.
None of us can disregard the presence of at least a quarter million members of the pan Catalan national liberation movement in Londonderry this week. These are momentous times which call for reflection, a bit of holding the tongue, and calm, rational, deliberate chat.

Londonderry, Doire, Derry..??
and surprisingly whether you call it Derry, or Londonderry or Doire whomever you're talking to will understand exactly what you mean.
the simplicity of complex problems is really quiet astounding.
I can see the quality of the debate in Indymedia Ireland is falling to unexpected levels. Some individuals are so bored that can't find anything more interesting to do than insulting others. Please don't make a project like this become worth closing down.
Changing the name of the Council to Derry City Council was a sectarian action aimed to undermine the confidence of the Protestant Working Class. Under Socialism both the City and County would retain the name Londonderry.
surely everyone can call it what they want?
refuse to refer to it as "LondonDerry" myself,because I wouldn't like it if Baghdad was renamed "WashingtonBaghdad", it just goes against my own politics.Really,it should just become Derry,Derry County or something along those lines.
Hi,
People will call it what they want, Derry, Londonderry or Doire but the point is that it is actually called Londonderry and this really has very little to do with London at all. It was renamed from Nutfield to Derry Calgach and then onto Londonderry. It was called Nutfield in 1718 and renamed to Londonderry in 1722 (not much later). We all love to go back to our roots etc and pretend that we are touch with everything that our ancestors did "for us" - cobblers! Perhaps to stop all the hassle and connotations that go with whether you call it Derry or Londonderry we should call it Nutfield and that way everyone is happy......except those who are all troublemakers and like to use silly, unimportant stuff like this to cause trouble.
Anyway - chill!
eh?
