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.

Fair play to Indymedia Ireland!
Ruairi, Canada
Ah yes, feckin Indymedia is run on non-Free, closed code (called "Dada") to allow "more features" and priveleged students at Trinity College write pretentious papers in the non-Free Micro$oft Word .doc format. Fucking brilliant. Role on the hegemony rupturing research paper attacks. The capitalists are quaking in their boots while you replicate and propagage their structures you motherfuckers.
Why Free software?
http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-sw.html
Why should we avoid Micro$oft$ proprietary formats and what can we do about it?
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
well really isn´t it interesting to read that my use of Irish on the IMC site seriously upsets Irish-american preconcieved notions.
Hmmmmm.
I think you should have included a translation of what I wrote in Irish.
and then you could consider the messages I´ve left in seven other living European languages across the IMC network.
Then you consider the messages I have left on the walls of European cities in six more langauges.
Then maybe
you might have good reason to upset Irish-american notions.
Iosaf mac diarmada
which is an anagram for
If Osama mad ira cad.
or as some comentators liken it
"total mongolisation of self"
write to me and engage in critical research.
Interesting paper but seems a little detached, it would have been much better with more engagement with the participants - I don't think you can divorce the form of the site from the people who designed it, run it, and contribute to it. I also think a look at the mailing lists would have given more information than any scan through the sites.
(It's quite likely that there was a request for help with this paper was put on the wire during the summer, if so, I apologise for not coming forward. I see Graham was quoted in it and that's a start. The history and the arguments in the archives are quite illuminative)
And on the free software point - if at all possible, download Mozilla now (www.mozilla.org). Open source web browsing is the way, and just by downloading and using you will help to build the next version (the browser can send feedback and bug reports automatically)

Daithi, the fact that someone so involved with indymedia can confuse "Free" and "Open" http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/free-software-for-freedom.html suggests a reason why indymedia.ie is using non-Free code to run its server.
to all else regulars on site blisset will go away now as someone has (finally) stolen my name.
I mean to say open, not free. Mozilla is open source, and I pointed that out. Using "free" was not meant to have any idealogical connotations, of course Internet Explorer is "free".
Free meaning freedom, not free meaning no cost.
Comprendez?
Blisset, you will be missed
fuck the indymedia trolls
Choosing a collective name as an identity militates against a desire for individuality. But all this ignores the central point: Indymedia.ie is encouraging the use of software that denies some of the basic freedoms that many of us would espouse. Why is this? Why do the WicklowGreens propagate documents in Microsoft's proprietary .doc format that is only easily read by people that buy their crippleware software? Is Indymedia.ie staffed by the totally clueless that are turning up their noses at all the other perfectly wonderful site-software (such as the slashcode run by Philly IMC etc.) which is Free Software? Don't they care about freedom?
Stop trying to reduce this to an issue of "they stole my name" or "Indymedia trolls". Sounds suspiciously like an attempt to silence criticism by displacement and disparagement.
now the connections between comhaontas glas and certain american entities has much been mused and mooted.
my friends check this Texan university.
this poorly written paper amounts to little more than a bad intelligence report.
I am very dissapointed.
But not surprised.
and i suppose i shall go on being quoted again and again as before.
