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.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Train drivers yesterday refused to move a freight
train carrying ammunition believed to be destined for
British forces being deployed in the Gulf. Railway
managers cancelled the Ministry of Defence service
after the crewmen, described as "conscientious
objectors" by a supporter, said they opposed Tony
Blair's threat to attack Iraq.
The anti-war revolt is the first such industrial
action by workers for decades. The two
Motherwell-based drivers declined to operate the train
between the Glasgow area and the Glen Douglas base on
Scotland's west coast, Europe's largest Nato weapons
store. English Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS), which
transports munitions for the MoD as well as commercial
goods, yesterday attempted to persuade the drivers to
move the disputed load by tomorrow. Leaders of the
Aslef rail union were pressed at a meeting with EWS
executives to ask the drivers to relent. But the
officials of a union opposed to any attack on Iraq are
unlikely to comply!
The two drivers are understood to be the only pair at
the Motherwell freight depot trained on the route of
the West Highland Line. An EWS spokesman declined to
confirm the train had been halted, although he
insisted no drivers had refused to take out the
trains. "We don't discuss commercial issues," he said.
"The point about the two drivers is untrue and we
don't discuss issues about meetings we have." Yet his
claim was flatly contradicted by a well-placed rail
industry source who supplied the Guardian with the
train's reference number. The MoD later said it had
been informed by EWS that mechanical problems, caused
by the cold winter weather, had resulted in the
train's cancellation. One solution under discussion
yesterday between the MoD and EWS was to transport the
shipment by road to avoid what rail managers hoped
would be an isolated confrontation. Dockers went on
strike rather than load British-made arms on to ships
destined for Chile after the assassination of leftwing
leader Salvador Allende in 1973.
In 1920 stevedores on London's East India Docks
refused to move guns on to the Jolly George, a ship
chartered to take weapons to anti-Bolsheviks after the
Russian revolution. Trade unions supporting workers
who refuse to handle weapons could risk legal action
and possible fines for contempt of court.
Lindsey German, convener of the Stop the War
Coalition, said: "We fully support the action that has
been taken to impede an unjust and aggressive war. We
hope that other people around the country will be able
to do likewise." The anti-war group is organising a
second national demonstration in central London on
Saturday February 15.
Organisers claimed more than 400,000 people attended a
protest in September
Nice to see that some people know what direct action really is.
Its a pity we couldnt persuade our own countrymen to engage in similar acts at shannon.
would it be possible?. Are Irish personnel actually involved in the refeulling?
surely this would achieve more than tearing down a fence. Its the kind direct action that cant be twisted by the propaganda machine into bad publicity, unlike our crusty fence breakers who just dont seem to grasp the whole media game.
Are there any contact details for the spotters that saw the plane?
Confirmed info on this would be a great help.
Yesterday lunchtime I was out for a stroll, and when I looked up I could count 10 planes in the skies overhead at the same time, which I'd never seen before. I thought it was weird at time, I wonder if they were miltary. I've also been noticing a lot more than usual in the skies in the mornings on my walk to work.
Was talkin to a mate of mine yesterday who told me she saw five planes in formation flyin above her in sligo/mayo border area, appeared to be military an they were pretty silent.....whats goin on or is it obvious......
B52s fly at 50,000 feet in transit.
If you point a tv remote at them and press channel 7 it fucks up their sub-sonic differential propagation radar locator. This was how the Sudanese resistance got one last month, but it was hushed up.
Hooray to the brave in Ireland and Scotland who stand up to my yankee imperialist leader!
Keep up the courageous protests, people on this side of the Atlantic are so badly uninformed and ignorant of everything happening outside of "America"
Have to admit I had a good laugh while reading the comments made by the eeejits here, B52's flying at 30000ft plus arent going to make any noise, its not because there in stealth mode its because there so far away.
