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.

Nearly 80% of Britain's 'Establishment' is Left-wing. No wonder our 'independent' judges keep making lunatic decisions. It's time they were made accountable to voters once again, says Dr David McGrogan.

With the G8 meeting in a weeks time the protest called by Make Poverty History for Thursday in Dublin is set to be massive.
But with the debt relief programme proposed leaving the majority of developing nations out in the cold, and imposing neo-liberal"conditionalities" on the 18 countries whose unrecoverable debts are to be cancelled, we have to go beyond passively lobbying our rulers to do the right thing. The issue of poverty, starvation and debt is intimately connected to war and arms spending. The US has spent $165 billion so far on the war on Iraq, this is nearly 10,000 times the annual amount the US is expected to contribute over the next decade.
For this reason we are appealing to all our supporters and sypathisers to join the Anti War and Socialist contingent on the protest on Thursday.
We are assembling at 6.00pm at the Hugh Lane Gallery in Parnell Square at 6.00pm on Thursday 30th June. Help us make the anti-war, anti-capitalist contingent as big and as lively as possible by joining us there.

Following the 2001 Genoa protests Red and Black Revolution carried a series of articles in which members of the WSM and a member of NEFAC debated what if any role remained for the Black Bloc. Other contributions are from the South African ZACF. In the run up to the G8 Summit protests in Scotland in July Anarkismo.net presents these articles and related links for debate and discussion.

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams MP has urged people across Ireland to support the Make Poverty History rally in Dublin on Thursday 30th June at 6.30pm. He said that this rally would send a strong message to G8 leaders meeting in Scotland next week and would help put the issue high on the political agenda in Ireland.
Mr. Adams will be taking part in the Make Poverty History rally in Dublin on Thursday evening and will be accompanied by Martin McGuinness MP, Mary Lou McDonald MEP and TDs Aengus Ó Snodaigh and Sean Crowe.

Story from BBC NEWS:
The Scottish Socialist Party is to take legal action over a move to suspend four of its MSPs for protesting over the G8 summit during a Holyrood debate.
The Scottish Parliament recommended the sanctions after the group carried out a G8 demo inside the chamber on Thursday.
The politicians are to be banned from the parliament throughout September and lose their wages and allowances for the period concerned.
The SSP's leader Colin Fox said the move broke human rights legislation.
Mr Fox and his three parliamentary colleagues, Frances Curran, Rosie Kane and Carolyn Leckie, all took part in the pre-planned protest and were subsequently ordered to leave the chamber.
The short demonstration concerned next week's G8 summit where the socialists claimed parliament had failed to secure the right for protesters to demonstrate outside Gleneagles.
However, Perth and Kinross has since said it was "optimistic" that an agreement could be reached on staging a "peaceful and well-managed" protest in the vicinity of the Perthshire hotel.
Mr Fox said the planned punishment was "out of all proportion" to the action taken by his parliamentary party.
The socialist national convener said: "We were found guilty without being given the opportunity to state our case and we are advised that without due process and the chance to make our defence, the Scottish Parliament has broken basic human rights legislation and natural justice.
"Four MSPs and their support staff are to be deprived of a month's wages for disrupting the parliament for less than an hour.
"The G8 summit has resulted in absolute chaos and disruption across Scotland, roads are blocked off and steel fences erected but when we make a protest in the parliament it is treated as if we have committed a capital offence."
He explained how his party had sought assurances from First Minister Jack McConnell that he would uphold a parliamentary decision in March to uphold the rights of protesters to demonstrate against the G8 leaders at Gleneagles.
He said this had not been forthcoming and the action taken by his party was the only course of action left open in order to get its point across.
This is an interview with Finbarr who has been there for the last couple of weeks. Let me know if it works as this is new to me and earlier attempts have not worked out.
