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.

British TV Comedy Has Lost its Class Sat Nov 22, 2025 17:00 | Finlay McLaren
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.

What about Biotic Baking Brigade (Irish Section)
And being awarded "Left of the Year 2002" is a good thing?
the real ctte were slaughtered in the batch.
more like left out in the year 2000
why isn´t T.T. on the list?
T.T. garnied support from all on the Irish Left and used an "an Taisce" resolution on "heritage trees" and an Irish Labour Party TD to stall the felling of trees on O´Connell street.
so if T.T. isn´t on the list, pandabear will be fiddling your chads and webpolls!
If there ever was a case for removing an
article, this is it... Don't get me wrong,
I am against censorship - but this is most
definately NOT a news article; this little
beauty pagent obviously springs from the head
of some boring office muppet who has nothing got
to do all day except hatch up little scenarios in
his/her head. Please, please, please get rid of it
right now.......!!!!
IF they include TT etc
or is it only SP approved nominations allowed
Bassbomber is so fucking right.
Lets be clear on this, this is nothing to do with indymedia, this is one of the most pathetic and worthless things I've witnessed on this site (and I've argued with Pat)
Whats with this piece of agrandising back slapping?
Please I can see the scene some dingy little do upstairs in conways (no wait the SWP aren't welcome there, take a bow Nora) with a group of leftists trying to pretend they don't care about the actual outcome. Backslapping and drunken praise at the incredible job we've done this year and how the winner has made this world a better place. Horseshite. This has been a dogs abortion of a year for the left, we pretty much lost every battle (Nice, Iraqi, Palestine, Barcelona, Madrid).
You should instead engange in a stalinist witchunt, and chance the offenders who must be purged through the streets of templebar, till they're beaten to death by a stag party. Let this hold as warning to next years Joes, Rorys (slimly little fuck), and the rest of the ilk. Shape up, win your stalingrad or face the consequences
Fuck off whoremongers. This is worthless; do you not honestly think you have better things to do with your time than creating this moronic testiment to ego masterbation?
That genuine causes and hobbies could be more rewarding? (may I suggest the fuckwit who posted this take up smacking his empty little head repeatadly againist an exposed brick wall, till your skull cracks open, and the diseased organ you call a brain dribbles out).
I honestly thought this was a joke, and it leaves a vile dirty little feeling in my stomach to think that someone feels that this is important and worthwhile. Meaningless pointless little rituals like this should disappear, they're part of the problem in society.
The monostrous ego which concieved this bloated idea should collaspe or at least fuck off somewhere else and fester away from the sight and noses of the general populous.
Pat if you're still looking to kicking my teeth in, I'll be at this event, but at least give me a chance to undo my fly and piss on everyone who attends (included you oh so witty people who'll be there for the ironic value).
You fucking disgust me.
Otherwise we would have nominated ourselves ;-)
I think the 'committee' should say who they are. Starting to be a bit pathetic now, i thought it was a bit of fun to start with. But the whole thing just seems pompous now - some of the comments are mentally vitriolic tho, relax for fucks sake!
Really must try stop myself from commenting and reading the crap on this site. Stuff on Caoimhe was real news, but its isolated in most of the other crap posted here.
I gathered that blisset, but cheers for recognising that I'd/ never say what I did on a few threads earlier. And do those arsehole impersonators realise this essential truth
"If King Mob is getting to you, that means King Mob is doing his job".
And I second that comment by "curious" , yis bunch of fucks. Just who are you exactly? C'mon show your scrawny faces, and well scrubbed necks. I'd be delighted to know who you are, and what poltical group spawned you.
And why eaxctly do you feel your worthless piece of self congradultion, mutual ego boosting fuckwits deserve to spam up a NEWS wire with this tumor of bloated egos...
"Nurse where is my scapel, this ego must me amputated........."
KING MOB
"I just flunked out of my anger management class"
-And so you're back, from outer space, with that stupid little grin across your face-
PS When I said chance in the my previous post I meant chase. I'm warming to the idea of a witch hunt blood hunt of the years most useless socialist, across temple bar. We get loaded up on mushrooms, chase them through the city, and let the dogs at them. (For dogs read Bristol stag party). That'd improve party moral and be a real motivation booster for any "leading anti capitalist") ARE YOU READING RORY HEARNE YOU FUCKING ARSEHOLE?
PPS when I said "You fucking disgust me" I wasn't refering to Pat C, more the organisers of this sham
PPS Thats not to say Pat C the hyprocrtical prick doesn't disgust me. Hi Pat.....
BE REALISTIC DEMAND THE IMPOSSIBLE
its hardly possible to parody a fool like this.
one can only hope that he gets the help he requires. its yet another example of care in the community not working.
King Mob has succeeded in getting the Secret Service funding in the Estimates increased by 85%!
What a brilliant performance!
The fuckwits (pat exclude) who run this moronic interlude have yet to identofy themselves
Would they are to step forward? Amd explain why this year justified a left of the year award
great.
the irish owe more in personal debt than anyone else in the €U.
