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.

Trump's peace plan for Gaza might yet succeed, but why on earth does Tony Blair feature, asks Professor Ramesh Thakur. Does Trump not realise how globally toxic the Blair brand is?

?Nudge? Has a New Evil Twin: ?Stochastic Terror? Mon Oct 06, 2025 13:30 | Nick Rendell
'Nudge' has a new evil twin, says Nick Rendell: 'stochastic terror'. When all else fails, the Left foments the conditions for random political violence and then sits back and waits for someone to pick off Trump or Farage.

i see its a generic picture of "globalise resistance". do they even exist any more?
Do the Gardai have a licence for each of the forty-four television screens in their command centre?
Yeah, you can see them in the picture. They're the guy in the yellow t-shirt on the right hand side (with the little beard).
The picture is from the Sunday Indo (I think) around the time of the December Shannon demonstration. I seem to remember seeing it on the bus back and having a laugh at it. Since then of course the SWP decided to organise as 'Another Europe is Possible; under Rory rather than as 'Gloablise Resistance' under Joe so GR has vanished for now.
Sadly this video is just as sensationalistic as the Herald or the Indo - what's the difference? The implication is the same: 'CHAOS ON THE STREETS OF DUBLIN (party on dude!)'
Couldn't someone make a video about peaceful protest and people exercising their legal rights? Which is much more likely to happen anyway and why is this video trying to attract a 'militant' element to come to Ireland?
its quite well made and explains exactly where they are coming from....
the only violence is display is the only violence that occured that by the cops....
it has clips of vids of the gardai training for petrol bombs now that ott
(by the way where ya get that never seen it before ,does nobody have any more info on their training and the consultants or foreign police doing it...?)
i think it deadly
it shows people dancing and marching and sitting down....
hmmm what more could ya want

numerous people "watch that c**t, he'd sell his granny for a story".

Will GR be back for "Dublins Genoa" ?
could someone from gr say? i hear the swp are organising a carnival or something. whats the swp mayday line?
PLEASE download Audio and send to local/pirat radio :)

"Sadly this video is just as sensationalistic"
YES that was the point - thus the title - Mayday propaganda
It was a piss take a bit of fun, propaganda can work both ways. It was meant to show how silly (and frightening) the whole thing is. Iam sure most indymedia viewers are smart enough to see what’s going on. Using the media to create fear as justification for violence, that’s what I said in the video. As for attracting "extreme elements" of what ever the cops are calling peace protesters or environmental activists, I think the corporate media has already done a good job of that.
The only thing this video advertises is peaceful protests like critical mass and RTS.
Note * not one stone let alone one petrel bomb has ever been thrown at a (anti-War Globalisation) protest in Ireland - It is not the Irish protesters who are arming themselves to the teeth and training for violence is it? Lets look at the facts and look behind the propaganda lie machine
Any violence on mayday if there is any will likely come from the state against the protesters, the government is running scared, every day now they make another announcement escalating and militarising the situation.
As for the video tong in cheek ;)
stay tuned for many more...
Thanks for the video though. Gave me a good laugh when I saw Cowen stuffing his face! Keep 'em coming!

Trust the indo to come up with the best April Fools Day joke. I doubt if they spotted the irony of publishing their distorted muck on April first when they were putting it together.
Mayhem Alert? Maybe we are going to need a Bullshit Alert for the entire month. Something tells me the corporate media are only warming up.
I'm glad we have a REAL 'Independent' - indymedia.

Interesting how even these articles about protestors cause mahem, chaos, genoa in Dublin etc etc - its always copiously illustrated withcops kicking the shit out of people
not too surprising - this being , generally speaking, 95-99% of the violence at any of these events pronbaly hard to get footage of anything else !
Conor
news is the first picture from? Anyone have a date for when it was broadcasted?
.
Our listeners do not want any of you in Dublin on Monday. If you know what is good for you stay the hell away from our city. The Irish people will not put up with people coming over to Dublin and causing trouble. If you come to Dublin you will be met by fource ie: 2.500+ Garda. Any of you that get hurt will deserve it.
there is a long list of people who have causing mayhem and trouble in Dublin for a long time and we'd like them to leave.
Perhaps they could seek asylum in a South American country, I believe Uribe still controls Colombia for the moment.
Bylorussia is a good bet as well, offered the Hussein brothers asylum.
Zimbabwe, could be welcoming you never know.
Saudi (soon to be a republic) under it's present kingdom loves putting up the monsters and bloodthirsty and confirmed canibals. Probably too bad for the filth of Dublin though.
Horses for Courses and all that.
So if there is no Mayhem, are the anarchists going to be discredited?
And if the soldiers fire, is the government going to come under serious criticism?
And is Bertie going to go gracefully or is he going to be pushed?
