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.

Sinn Fein are apart of the problem now. There is no solidarity with the workers, when you are the ones implementing the cuts
It is good to see this, and heartening. Sinn Fein are part of the solution, fighting against the ones who implementing the cuts.
Shame on the other parties, particularly the Labour Party who purport to support workers rights, for crossing this picket line, Sinn Fein are becoming the authentic voice of the left in the Dail as the Labour party continues to move to the centre and moves closer to establishment interests in advance of its anticipated entry into government with right wing Fine Gael after the next General Election.
Soldiers manning the front gates of leinster house? - obviusly if there is ever a coup in Dublin, a strike day is the one to pick (though maybe there was a coup years ago and we never heard about it...)
The authentic voice of the left- are you having a laugh or are your tablets kicking in. What would SF know about "left" politics. SF promote and encourage the politics of SF. Are they not the party in comfortable partnership with the extreme right wing DUP? yeah you are having a laugh and at all our expence.
Sinn Fein are part of the solution, fighting against the ones who implementing the cuts.
Not in the Six Counties at any rate.
Is this article about the six counties? I suppose we have to hear a mantra recited about power sharing (what's the alternative- back to war?) every time SF does anything, good or bad.
Imagine if they had passed the pickets, but it would have been the same, back to the future with the armchair critic crowd, six counties , DUP, blah blah blah... SF are always bad...
What makes no sense is knocking the Labour party for going into coalition with "right wing Fine Gael" while the politically unprincipled Shinners serve in a British coalition undemocratic government with "right wing DUP" in this country. Simple fact. Not passing the picket line is a publicity stunt with all press photographers in place. Same old shinners.
Is there anything, anything at all, that Sinn Fein could do that you wouldn't slag off? Cross picket lines, not cross pickets, enter government, not enter government, deal with the media, not deal with the media, get their ears pierced, anything?
Or is it going the same old same old for ever and ever?
Sinn Fein could return to republican principles and replace their discredited leadership plus the truth would help.
The truth is that they didn't pass the picket. That seems like a principle being honoured. Not enough for some people, sadly.
That could be said of all the political parties, except that Sinn Fein actually didn't pass the picket. Obviously, you won't be happy until there is a time machine to take you back to these halcyon days of republicans of the past, but for some of us there is a principle here, now, in fighting these cuts.
Maybe you could mobilise others in your quest for the return of the old days when the jails were full and the British army was on the streets, or maybe you can stay on your own and criticize things on the internet, passing judgment on the efforts of those who do things. Whatever you chose, try to develop a sense of generosity towards others on the left/republican side of the street. Constant sniping only helps those who want nothing at all to happen.
Sinn Fein give us words, no genuine effort. The masters at political games and gimmics. They have offered nothing and will offer nothing to people in need. Their ambition is to get into government and they will join any coalition to achieve that. Sad what they have become. A Sinn Fein policy document on finance would give Tommy Tiernan enough material for a live comedy show.
Internet warriors give us words, no genuine effort. They're masters at political games and gimmicks.
They have offered nothing and will offer nothing to people in need.
Their only ambition is to slag off those who are out doing things. They will join any discussion to achieve that.
Sad what they have become.
Really sad.
