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 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? Sat Nov 22, 2025 15:00 | Noah Carl
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.

Thank Lockdowns for the Worst Budget in History Sat Nov 22, 2025 13:00 | Will Jones
We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

he will have to go along with the democractically decided party position, if not he must resign.
First of all it is not ok for a member of the SP to support a capitalist army recruiting. It would be dealt with properly within the party.
Secondly he is not a 'senior' member of the party. Andy Ward is not a member of any of the national bodies of the SP.
Of course the British Army should be allowed to recruit, it's a free country, if you don't like it tough shit. Noone stop all your batty outfits recruiting.
It's alright then for a member of the SP to support the British Army recruiting? Is that what you're saying? No action should be taken, eh? What does a senior member of the SP have to do to be subject to disciplinary action then?
I think I have answered everyones question regarding the whole QUB situation. It is also on another thread you might want to look there.
I don't know what 'action would be taken against him'. What do you recommend a punishment beating prehaps?
Leaving aside the "contributions" from cretins, I note that Finghin has not answered my question. I certainly would have respect for Joe Higgins and the SP, but I find the idea of a member of a left wing party displaying support for an imperialist army staggering!!!!
The SP and the SWP regularily make 'mistakes' it flows from their nutty brands of trotskist dogma. They really believe that they are the revolutionary vanguards! They have fairy tale notions about all workers coming together under their brand of 'socialism', examples are Isreali and Palestinian workers and Nationalist and Unionist workers in the northern part of this country also. Trying to tell them that this is naive, simplistic and just stupid is the same as trying to tell a christian minister or priest that their dogma makes no sense.
Do you really think the SP are going to waste their time answering sectarian swipes from a bunch of wasters.
You still have not answered the question, if the member of the SP in QUB supported the british army stand which is against party policy, what action (if any) is going to be taken against him?
I am dealing with this whole QUB situation once and for all.
It is not SP policy to support the British Army or any imperialist army.
If any member in QUB did support the Army stand he is going against the party's position. We oppose the British Army on a socialist basis not the sectarian way in which SF deal with it.
I am sure everyone on indymedia could get examples of individual members of different parties going against the parties positions. But we are not childish and don't go around posting it all over the place saying the party in question have sold out or betrayed people etc.
in italy we are trying to organise a new newspaper, the name is Lotta per il Socialismo,

confusing the SP with the DUP/LVF again. easy thing to do when you work for MI5/6/FRU. do you have any proof?, details, photos, etc. or is your post more MI5/6 shite stirring.
This is really great news, like our prime minister, these former socialists realise the necessity of defending whats left of the empire and of course a constant supply of oinks to get our hands on Sammy Hussein's oil. Arise Sir Peter Hadden .....thank you guys, leon would be deeply moved!
