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.

Explain yourself.
In the Dublin South East constituency the largest chunk of Áine Ní Chonnaill's (Openly racist independent candidate) transfers went to Aonghus O Snodaigh of SF. The SF leadership may not be racist and the vast majority of its memebrship isn't either, but this does show that SF by playing the nationalist card at every oppurtunity does get some support from biggots. SF should adopt a clear anti racist programme calling for jobs and homes for all regardless of race or state of the economy. But will they do this? I wouldn't hold my breath...
The point is that the person putting up the posters is trying to draw locals away from SF by claiming that they support the so-called 'Black Invasion', etc.
There have been racist stickers in the Inchicore area before.
As Ray said, leave them up :) I take it as a compliment.
At least IMC Poster admits we're not a racist party. As for the transfer thing, anyone who thinks that transfers are based only on ideology might need more experience in electoral politics. The SWP transfers more to us than anyone else. We've received transfers from southern unionist candidates. This doesn't mean an ideological common ground, but often relates to issues like candidate gender, geography, the order the candidates appear on the ballot paper etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that every single person who votes SF is not a racist. No party can say that, but simply because some-one votes for you or transfers to you doesn't mean ideological sympathy. Transfers are funny old things.
As for you remark about not holding your breath, no need, we've already done so. you don't even need to inhale. In fact we were the only political party to raise the fact the issue of the lack of support for asylum seekers in the Budget.
Yes transfers are funny things but, Áine Ní Chonnaill did not come from the area so had no real base of support. She was of a different gender to Aonghus. She did not run on any other issue other than racism. Her vote was plain and simple a racist vote.
Transfers do come from all over, unionists will transfer to SF, PDs to the SP etc but there is a general pattern in transfers. People do not transfer randomly, they do transfer to the candidate that is closest in ideology to their no.1 choice. In the case of Ní Chonnaill heavily transfering to SF, this does show that most of the racist voters do believe that SF is the closest party to them.
Yeah but most of her leaflets were dropped in Ballyfermot which is Aengus' base. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are people who transfer to SF because they think we're racists in the closet but all I can do is say we're not, point to our record on asylum seekers, refugees, racism etc. and make the point that if they have such an opinion it's not based on our policies.
has just shown you again that
THERE ARE FASCISTS AND RACISTS IN INCHICORE.
would it be stretching the point to surmise
THERE ARE FASCISTS AND RACISTS IN IRELAND?
no.
It has long been the anaylsis of the 5th international of global anarchists
that Ireland is
A CRYPTO FASCIST and RACIST
country.
administered in two states.
that is why we suggest a anti-fascist section in any improved imc ireland layout.
These postings get lost on the newswire.
Keep it up AFA!
Out of Ni Chonaill 960 votes, O' Snodaigh (SF) got just over 20%, but then again the labour party got 15% which makes no sense either. Better again in this constituency, 42 people voted either Socialist Workers Party or Stickies and then proceeded to give their number 2 to Ni Chonaill!! And it wasn't only here that strange results cropped up. In Cork North Central Mick Barry ran for Socialist Party and was eliminated with 1000 votes. One of the main planks of his campaign was to vote against the racist bile being spouted by Noel O Flynn and Joe O Callaghan. What happens when he is eliminated? O Callaghan gets 100 and o Flynn gets over 50. So when it comes to transfers and in particular paltry numbers like Ni Chonaill ( only 2% of overall poll) I think you can't gleam much except that some people obviously vote with their eyes closed.
look in the real world a very bloody war is about to be launched. This infantile nonsense about posters is a diversion. What is more interesting is who is really behind this and why right now?
The world and other political issues do not stop just because the US decides to go to war. The realiy is that the lives of 99.99% of people in confortable little Ireland will not be changed by the US bombing Iraq.
I'm not saying this is right of course - people should be concerned and active against the war - but it does not mean that all other campaigns and issues are dropped.
If you look at the original post all we were asking is that if anyone had any info at all about the posters to please let us know.
lots of campiagns get lost down the newswire.
In times of extra interest in Shannon readers don´t look at other stuff.
Then only small groups get to know.
To grow these campaigns which are as much based on the idea of thinking globally acting locally as any other these campaigns need support and new people to know participate, engage, debate solutions and tactics.
If these areas of concern go into sections then the newswire stays active for the weeks interest.
Sectioned articles go together.
They appear less often.
More readers.
more suport.
more learning.
more results.
It also protects against spam which goes onto newswire.
Fact is "if you go to one demonstration cool for you gold star red star black star whatever you want but if you really want to be irritating and irritation provokes change then you need to sustain the pressure".

Once again, someone has come up with the devastating satirical ploy of pretending to be me. This fiendish parodist has left me wanting to laugh at the sheer unbridled wit of it all, but at the same time I've been shamed into silence by the exposure of my wrong-headed ideas.
A hit, a palpable hit!
