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.

The CFE have plenty of female activists. Of those elected there are women, not a majority or even 50% unfortunatly. Why should a genuine campaign be blamed for the inequity in society when it comes to female activity in politics?
I'm pretty sure whoever is posting as 'Millie Tant' is just winding people up. The comic Viz has a character called Millie Tant who essentially is a characture of seperatist feminism. It's pretty unlikely any feminist would therefore post under the same label.
Excellent news, all the hard work has led to this!
well then to all involved.
the hard work is not finished Henry!
It's only begining. We still have to get the CFE to act as a co-ordinated group on the council and we have to ensure that we're ready for anything that those careerist fucks in FF are to throw at us.
now FF may be throwing a lot at you, but don´t worry they´ll only be teasing you.
Free education begins beyond UCD and free educ campaigns have to go beyond UCD.
Some photos of recent demos/blockades/elections in UCD can be found at
www.geocities.com/syucdpics/cfe/cfe.html
I agree that the CFE should not just be restricted to UCD. Obviously we should make links with studetns in other colleges so we can mount an effective campaign that will really challenge this government.
This may be of some interest to those in UCD. They are not the official results.
1st Arts Group E - 46.88% 1
1st Arts Group B - 61.9% 1
2nd Arts Group B - 33.33% 1
2nd Arts Group D - 54.54% 2
2nd Arts Group E - 56.36% 1
3rd Arts Group A - 16.67% 1
3rd Arts Group B - 75.86% 2
2nd Science - 13.33% 0
2nd Engineering - 33.85% 1
1st Social Sc. - 55.88% 1
6 uncontested seats in, Societies, 1st Arts Group A, 1st Arts Group D, 3rd Arts Group D and 2nd Social Science.
Does any of the "socialist" contributors know exactly how many working class people are studying in UCD? not too many I suspect. The "socialists" are campaigning on behalf on a bunch of middle class types who have no comprehension of the reality on the ground in working class areas of our country. The reality is that the Nice mk 11 may very well pass, the presence of the "socialists" in these areas is nil. The thought may eventually occur to them that they are unlikely to find the proles in UCD, TCD, UCG, or UL.!!!!!
RED FRONT (not in Belfield)
I think that it is Des that is not in reality.
You say that the working class are very few in colleges. In fact the working class (in the marxist understanding of the term) are a majority. Consciousness is another matter.
The fees attack students and poor families anmd is a direct assault by this government on the working class.
The fees introduced will not go to end inequality in Irish education, it will be used to fill a government deficit. The government will not improve the grants, they will not increase money in education at any level (primary, secondary or third level), the fee increase is regressive assualt on working families.
Remember if a student has two parents on the minimum wage he/she is not entitled to the grant.
Your point about Socialists campaigning against the fees "have no comprehension of the reality on the ground in working class areas". This shows your own ignorance of what the working clas is and the work of Socialists. Remember that the working class does not just refer to people that wear cloth caps. If you were active in Belfield you would know that Socialist Youth members are active in the communities around Dublin issues as well as in UCD.
its not hard to figure out, sp members in universities will organise in universities, in factories in factories in communities, in communities. By the way its the first time I've heard anyone excuse us of concentrateing too much on students. We were for a long time the weakest hard let party in the colleges.
