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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

The BBC's Director of Comedy wants to "save the sitcom". But the sitcom is only endangered because most of them stopped being funny. As To the Manor Born reminds us, British comedy has lost its class, says Finlay McLaren.

Is the era of cheap internet surveys over? A new paper demonstrates that AIs can now be "trivially programmed" to answer online surveys in ways that are essentially indistinguishable from humans.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10People here really need to be informed about information security. In many other countries you are very well informed (by your, emm..'comrades'(!)..)about possible misuse of any personal items u may carry by the police. For example, leave yer address books behind - FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!!! Everyone attending such and similar events in future should be informed of similar threats. I am still surprised by the level of naivety which exists here regarding the cops.
will be left on Indymedia Ireland
after the referendum
along with
other pamphlets.
heart and mind
feel = think.
You see... told you so... these anarchist can't be trusted with sensitive information. All they ever do is hinder the revolution.
Even the SWP wouldn't do anything so fucking stupid.
If u's have nothing to hide u's will be ok you fools. I think the cops have better things to be doing. I don t really think the give a shit about a few students.
FOOLS &&& Fools FOOLS &&& Fools FOOLS
I know some of the people involved in the organisation, they are principled, sincere and well intentioned BUT they can also at times, be rather naive. Anyone who thinks that our "free society" is all that free has got problems.
- Even the SWP wouldn't do anything so fucking stupid.
I could point to examples to disprove your point, but I'll spare the blushes of those concerned...
I was involved in ecotopia through gluaiseacht and was also one of the people who went to england last month. The ecotopia contact details were brought nowhere near england, no-one in gluaiseacht brought this matter to mine or any other persons attention. There was a personal contact list carried by one person who was stopped in holyhead, as well as a list of some people who had previously travelled to sellafield (all of whom had been stopped and searched themselves when they crossed into the UK).
The anonymous posting nature of this newswire could allow for unscrupulous parties to spread slander and mis-information, personally I never trust anything on the wire unless I know the poster and can verify it with them. Certain events within the last week indicate that someone with limited technical skills may be trying to smear gluaiseacht using electronic means.
Finally, for the reference of the poster, there are no 'members' of gluaiseacht, there is no 'organisation' and the secretariats purpose is as a point of contact. Perhaps "Concerned" could attend the next gluaiseacht meeting (in sligo at the end of november), take part in developing the structure of the network and help dispel some of our naievety by sharing skills and knowledge in the spirit which gluaiseacht was formed.
I would like to verify some of what Barry has said. The details given by people who pre-registered for ecotopia were not brought to England. I was part of a team of people involved in the registration process and also one of only a very few who had and have access to these details. If any individual has any further concerns please feel free to contact the us at "secretariat@gluaiseacht.org".
What was brought to England was a list of names of people, no addresses, no passport details, no dates of births, no personal details.
for a moment someone was raising irish memories of the Winchester 3: and teasing students.
Disinformation is a neccesary price for dis-organisations. But Barry and Clare have cleared it all up for you. I thought yesterday when I first saw the post that this was a crass message equiv to "check the xerox bin lads". No-one ought be discouraged by this type of thing. and scaremongering in the name of "concerned" is always dodgey. as any editor will know, no?
but for the last days before the referendum in Ireland set against the machinations up north we can all expect to read lots and lots of silly disinformation. We read it most of the time. And may I just add that the "Cardov" has just set sail from Barcelona travelling due SSE and in two days will intercept the NATO western mediterranean fleet who have just completed joint exercises off the coast of Sardinia. I lived in Sardinia and can happily tell you that this fleet is very very big. So one red block sailing vessel and one very very big fleet. That should make for interesting viewing eh? It is rumoured that the French take an interest in observing NATO exercises.
on doit aller au délà de soi même.
