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.

And oh yeah, no one within the party takes Michel Higgins seriously as a politician
1. They merged with the DL (they're welcome to them)
2. Michael O'Leary
3. Brendan Corish (let the 70s be socialist!)
4. Support for bin charges
5. Their links to the Official IRA
6. Their links to Mossad (via Taylor and co.)
7. Des Geraghty
8. Dick Spring - big business tycoon
9. What they did to Noel Browne
10. Barry Desmond (he of the hospital closures)
11. Pat Rabbitte and the £5,000 he got from Citywest for services rendered (and not counting the £2,000 that he 'gave back' to Frank Dunlop
12. Labour is still waiting
13. They set socialism back by 50 years in Ireland.
14. Brendan Howlin
15. Proinsias De Rossa (former potato merchant)
Damn, I didn't know it was Labour-bashing week. If I would have known I would have got a new set of jackboots so I could suppress the revolution in style!
(Seriously, though, there are some really good points made in the lists above, in my opinion an objection to some party policies and past actions is more about believing in Labour and in what it can be rather than about hating Labour).
By the way, the author of this article believes in the death penalty for corrupt politicians, obstacles to the revolution and other nasty pieces of work :-) so you can see how seriously his or her argument should be taken.
(see http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=13710 for that gem of an argument - scroll down)
All that is wrong with the LAbour PArty can be personified in De Rossa and Spring
When DeRossa won hilibel case what did he do with his 'winnings'? Give it to the Party (DL at the time)?, Give it to charity? give it to community groups? No he kept for himself! the greedy fecker! De Rossa's main concern in the DL-LP merger was himself. He made sure that he'd be kept in a job, he's now living it up as an MEP in Brussels.
Where can you start with Spring? well first of all he is a careerist fuck that took his daddy's seat in the Dáil, and he played rugby. Spring was vitriolic towards the left in the Labour Party though the 1980s (when they had left wing people in their ranks), I'll let someone from the SP expand on that one. Spring was a coalitionist careersit capitalist. During the 27th Dail he got into coalition with both FG and FF.
It was with great pleasure thatI saw good auld tricky dicky loose seat! Well Dick more time for golf, oh yeah that's what you were doing most of your time as TD anyway
Believing in Labour what is that meant to mean? Somehow we will all join Labour Party, hold hands and if we wish hard enough everything will be alright.
Grow up Daithi and get a bit of cop-on. Labour is not a left wing force, they are a capitalist party. Well, maybe that's what you like I dunno.
Because they spend more time attacking the different groups on the Left than the forces of the right. And also because they take criticism like that so badly.
Get a life losers.
Attacking the Labour Party is not attacking other people on the Left. Nowadays the Labour Party is a right wing party, just like Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and the Progressive Democrats.
Was Ruairi Quinn a "left wing" finance minister? When the Labour Party gets cheques from business interests are they "left wing" cheques? When Labour calls for a Yes vote in the Nice Treaty referendum is it a "left wing" embrace of neo-liberal politics?
how about: because they are a party with some sense of realism and don't have their heads up their Communist arses like most people on Indymedia?
Because they have betrayed the principles of the labour movement, they have introduced thx amnesties for the wealthy, they have expelled the most principled socialists, e.g. Joe Higgins, they have supported the Nice Treaty, which involves militarisation, privatisation and displays complete contempt for working class people.
labour are worse hypocrites than bertie or Harney, they claim to care for the poor etc but their record in government shows the reality, they are no different and helped the rich. Nice also proves which side labour is really on.
