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.

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.

belfast. belfast. belfast. belfast.
on your bikes!
but is there an indymedia centre in Belfast?
I´ve googled but there isn´t.
& why isn´t there a french link to IMC?
are the french "externally associated" to indymedia?
and if the french through ATTAC have produced some of the most interesting counter-culture theories for "western civilisation" "evolution" why are they "externally associated".
and ´aint that a thought...
becuase it seems to have a different logo?
are they "externally associated" as well?
hey Observor go and take your sectarian poison elsewhere.
As far as I recall the original French Indymedia had fallen into "the wrong hands" and the password holder was not paying attention to it anymore or something like that - i have a vague recollection of some hassle over setting up a new IMC maybe that's what's going on.
The logo and designs can differ from site to site; external association is (I think) when a site does not meet all the IMC criteria (new apps have to fill out a form and have certain things like an open publishing newswire).
Everybody is welcome to the Grassroots gathering but sectarianism,religious/homophobic/sexist/racist bigotry is NOT. Norn Iron humour seems to be wearing a bit thin these days
Ha! All you will do is whinge about the taigs. If anyone mentioned the protestants who are being driven out in North Belfast you would not listen.
The real sectarianism is the nationalism you lot cheer lead. Your poor Catholic friends in East Belfast are just a wedge to drive more Protestants out.
Why not support Protestant Civil Rights?
You never condemn the Catholics on the Garvaghy Road who are attacking Protestants all the time.
Your reactions are just proving my point.
Sherlock Holmes must be spinning in his grave...
What's next - condemning atheists for being anti-Mormon?
Observer the logic behind 'Your poor Catholic friends in East Belfast are just a wedge to drive more Protestants out' is sectarian. It suggests that there should be 'catholic areas' and 'protestant areas' and people of one background should not be allowed to live in the areas of another. An anti-sectarian position would obviously be 'anyone can live where ever they want'. Maybe you already understand that?
In any case those of us involved in the gatherings would presumably opposed sectarian attacks no matter who they are carried out on. The reality in the north is that 90% plus of reported sectarian attacks are aimed at people perceived to be catholics. But that doesn't make a single case of somebodys window getting smashed because they are perceived to be from a protestant background right either.
barcelona sets quite a few criteria
as well as meeting them.
Yes Daithi that was the problem for France.
Logos can change and often appearances solve "local" difficulties or "sectarian" (...flags and emblems)... sort of things.
Irony ought not be lost on any of us.
if THORP blows everyone will be driven out of wherever they live.
of those that run giros, the majority are prods. unfortunately many of whom are middle class, with non violent middle class values almost akin to those of the SDLP. although they do try to embrace wishy washy old school leprachaun type republicanism, all things organic, all things traditionally irish, obviously without any violent or revolutionary tendencies. and you can be sure they'll phone and squeal to peelers for assistance when things get out of hand.
"The real sectarianism is the nationalism you lot cheer lead."
"wishy washy old school leprachaun type republicanism"
"NO Prods Wanted"
etc. etc. ad nauseum
Um, i take it you lot won't be coming then? That's a relief. I just hope you don't put any real activists off coming to Belfast with this sort of crap. We're not all dickheads, honest.
And as for the ethnic makeup of Giro's, i don't remember the survey, and i don't really care which background the volunteers are from. Some of us have actually managed to outgrow sectarianism.
Hey,
Let it be known at Giros we are really a cross community...
& the kinda sectarian bollox posted above makes us even more cross.
We're due to have an IMC meeting, it should be outside Dublin and this seems a good place to call one. Don't want to step on anybody's toes though (especially any media activist comrades).
I'm intending to head up and could probably round up a couple of other dublin heads - enough for some continuity etc.
Comments?
We'd like an idea of numbers of people attending, numbers of kids to be looked after, etc. so we can sort accomodation and food etc.
Also any dietary or other needs people might have.
cheers...
there was talk at ecotopia re improved communication networks; both virtual and real.
i was at the first leinster meeting last month and am now studying in u.k
i still think that the irish sustainable movement has a big communication problem, it needs to be improved.
an open forum area should be linked to www.sustainable.ie
and from www.ecotopia2002.org
main campaigns should be highlighted
how are things progressing on this front?
was there a report of how things have gone in each of the provinces on indymedia/ is it the place for it?
eitherway good luck to you, enjoy the w/e
