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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7This article is not against editorial policy in any shape or form. If a comment rightly belongs to a previously posted news story, or is just trolling in the style of "SWP sucks" and no further text, then of course there's an issue.
But here, there is an article that actually contains content. The fact that it's critical of any organisation has nothing to do with i.
It's not a "comment", it's a personal article giving a point of view, no different from many other articles here.
Furthermore, if "Magoo" opens his or her eyes (har har), I think youll find Ray has been equally critical of anarchist and socialist postings.
As a party hack I initially felt obliged to respond but half way through this sentence I actually lost interest in the whole thing. Despite a sever lack of finances we're running a much bigger campaign than last time, far more professional and with the possible exception of the Barrett mob, more people on the ground than any other No organisation. I congratulate LAN on the leafet distribution and on the posters, for a tiny organisation it's a very good accomplishment, but we're very happy with the campaign we're running.
The fact is that the Pro-Nice side and Barrett's No side have lots of money!! FF-FG-Lab-PD take corporate donations, the IFSC are even putting up their own posters!
I am a member of the Socialist Party and we are campaigning on Nice. I make no apology that we have not got the money of the pro-nice side, we dont accept corporate donations. We are going door to door, if we dont knock on your door doesn't mean we are not canvassing.
There is also the question of the media. This time around they are not giving coverege to the No side. Even the Greens and Sinn Féin are not getting much coverege despite getting more votes in recent election than previous election.
So before you go an condemn the lack of campaigns from left groups maybe you should look into the facts.
Lack of cash for posters,and Lack of media profile doesn't mean we're not doing anything
I agree with some of ok's points. The no side has far more money and slush funds, and the media are terrible partisan as you would expect.
However as for the'facts'
'if we dont knock on your door doesn't mean we are not canvassing'
Well I know a lot of people all over Dublin and none of them had their door knocked on by the SP during Nice 1 or 2 so far!
Fairer point that the SP has a 'lack of cash for posters' This criticism could be levelled more at SF and the Greens who get a lot of money now in expenses and their posters are rubbish and boring and not a patch on the AFRI poster.
just to throw my tupence worth,
I'm sick to my wank of sectarian shit slinging. I think it'd be so much better if we all got together and threw paint bombs at the Burlington Hotel again. At least for a minute moment the left was united and we got some press coverage. And it was nice to see the Swimmers in jail..... Ah only joking comrades.
Any way, I have to have a shower now, i'm covered in shite because of me shite-slinging. As for OK.... QUICK... I HEAR THERE'S A NEW DEBATE ON LEFT EXCHANGE THAT NEEDS YOUR ASSISTANCE... GO OK... GO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
If you like unity so much, join up with
Justin sunny Jim,at least his posters have clearly understood messages unlike the bland sf and green ones, who the hell designed then in the first place, he is also leafleting all over the country not just in constituencies where he hopes to win another seat.
