offsite link 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.

offsite link 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.

offsite link 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

offsite link 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.

not for sheep

not for sheep




I have worked thousands of hours , spent much, endured greif and now fear. I reached a conclusion I didn't want to believe.

I have posted many parts of my theory while it was still a theory. I wish now I hadn't.

The following is an outline. Enough I hope, to make you aware. The power running this land , murdered thousands, and lied to us....lots of big lies and is willing to kill people and spend billions of our money for "ratings". Behind the scenes they gut and pollute, and rob the weak. and so much more

This explains the assault on our freedom of speech. Worse is the power to kidnap anyone. vanish them without a trace...just asking for that proves to me what I already think.

Sending a swat team to spray cs gas, shoot projectiles that break bone, and beat with clubs, a concerned group of peaceful people makes clear what is in store.

Let us go back to just before september 11, 2001. Enron was unraveling. The adminstration was publicly denying help while blocking any investigation. Months to shread, move funds, make excuses ect. Now the sec and Justice is run by enrons finance guru and co. Go figure...

The morning we won't forget... Afghanistan, the taliban and osama are blamed. the accused hijackers are saudi arabian and yemmeni.??? passenger manifests did not show that then.

They do now. The anthrax scare permits the largest single item defense contract 200 billion/lockeed for 2008 fighter, and the sarcasticly named "patriot act" which guts the constitution. billions in special favor contracts are "rubber stamped". There was no hurry if it weren't a scam the whole way. It seems so. guilty 9-11

Now we know the taliban leaders had been guests of the white house a short time before 9-11. The only, get that?, ONLY company with the assets to do it all, is owned by Enrons financial chairman. http://www.apfn.org/apfn/rule.htm



9-11 was a complex operation with multiple goals, "insured" risks, and Huge rewards. At least $600 billion. power of control gains under a war footing. a war and more.

It required seizing control of mass media and the "hearts and minds" of a majority for 2 weeks, after which the cover story becomes "truth". guilt is pinned on a carefully developed patsy and sold to close the circle. That "sale" continues.

Mistakes, flaws, and the obvious are ignored or put off discussing at "this tragic time" non-stop replay of the "story", counterspin, and time should make them moot. At least to the majority and keep doubt in others.


Holes in the Official Version are large enough to fly a piper cub through.

The heavy use of crude lynch mob type propaganda....only used to give power to the dude with the rope.


Wild theories spawn when the Official Version isn't believable. there was fierce damnation of anything other than "gospel" It was unamerican and "criminal", and crazy too. why? its a lie

My Grandfather told me this, solve any premeditated crime by seeking answers to these: Motive--Method--Opportunity--Who Gains , keep your emotions out of it, be cold and calculating, review and tear apart what you think...the truth will show.

Social engineering and control has been used by "leaders" since the dawn of man.

History shows clearly that ! spending lives ! is normal for those who rule. Consolidation of power, money, & control of those ruled is easiest when at war or there is fear of war. Julius Caesar .

$600 billion buys a lot. Changing the focus of 200 million people from enron ect. to war fervor in 2 weeks takes a large event. a shock to the system. mass media cements the official version into "history". Drummed into their heads with repetition.


The power of the US military keeps us from having conventional enemies. Enemies are vital to despots. Iraq is a joke militarily. like beating a baby with a baseball bat. I hate bullys, and liars that blame others, and fuckin'cowards.
Georgie is a fuckin' coward, pick on a little weak country, tell us they scare you, fuckin coward.

Heavy use of "lynch spin" has failed to stir us. It does show they would spend lives,and billions just for approval ratings. Sadam is a Zero threat. Terror in America is a Zero threat. Both are sold to us with crude propaganda.

Being at war right now is complete Bushit. Unless it's us, thats it....

Media control is power indeed. It warns us about despotic rulers and axis of evil ect whatever

Weapons Of Mass Destruction Dubya Has been shown to use them. is believed to still be developing more and better Weapons of Mass Destruction. Sells weapons of mass destruction to despots, dictators, juntas, Strong Men, former enemies, current enemies, future enemies. Is a Real threat to developing countrys and those with oil.

A terrorist is only as powerful as his media exposure. Taking credit for crimes gets that. Ignoring him takes most of his power. the power of fear is his greatest asset.

who then is the terrorist? the one accused? or the one using fear for control? Real fear, like murdering thousands for ratings, power, and billions of dollars. Selling this crime to us, as the work of someone else so they can be conquered is not right. It is evil. The die is cast.

the only rule appears to be gravity. votes won't matter



"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lighly upon you, and posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia State House, August 1, 1776.

No evidence, just wild speculation.

This is not news, and its a far cry from analysis. This is just the kind of shit that gives independent media a bad name.

Ray - the tactical techinician of deciding who can do what and how. He has a basis but he's taking it too far!

... everyone disagrees with which bit is 'too far'.
Criticise someone else, and that's all well and good.
Apply the same standards to your pet post and its 'too far'.

nearly every post i have read on indymedia this week thus far has been followed up by one comment. "This is not news and is clearly in breach of IMC editorial policy and should be removed". Now if this was the IMC editorial crew actually setting down some home rules fair enough but no its just some guy called ray who doesnt write any articles and according to himself isnt even on the imc editorial team. So where is the justification? Ray just seems to be a guy who likes the power of the comment button. Well ray since you dont like people's "misuse" of the newswire i dislike your misuse of the comment button, so stop before you really start turning people off reading anything in case they see the dreaded comments of Ray!

Ray's right - many posts completely disregard the editorial guidelines and Ray is right to point this out. However, a bit more effort could probably be spent in teaching people the difference between spam and reposts and discussion and journalism.

Commercial-free journalism doesn't have to be poor quality journalism.

Keep it up, Ray!
