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.

Didn't know they existed the other side of the border.
They are called Her Majestys Socialist Party.
Peter Hadden got a knighthood in the new years honoups list.
The Socialist Party does indeed exist North of the border. Like most of the left we are organised on a 32 County basis.
The Socialist Party's main strength in the North is in the unions - for instance an SP member recently got 40% of the vote in the elections for NIPSA (the biggest union in the North) General Secretary, there are members on the executives of NIPSA, INTO, FBU and more.
Socialist Youth also has a good profile, with branches across the North.
As for why we don't have a platform speaker at that particular meeting, you would have to take that up with the organisers and with our local branch. We have no problem speaking from the same platform as Sinn Fein - although we strongly disagree with them - in the North or anywhere else.
Give a night up to listen to the hippocras such as an sectarians priest, two right wing fascist and one swp, telling us that Bush and Blair are wrong to attack Iraq, but it is ok to support the GFA and British imperialism in Ireland.( who privatised the NHS?) SF.
Me thinks not.
You wont speak from the same platform because it would upset the loyalists who are the majority of your members up North.
SY Branches acroos the North, excutative members in Nipsa Fbu into and more? were are they. for the last six months three full timers stand on their own at miserable stall in belfast city and maybe two on a sy stall AS for the swimmers it is widely known that their members were the leading organisors for the falls shankill march and put feet on the steet from west belfast with members also marching from the shankill rd and we all know in belfast that swimmers are the main organisors behind the anti war stuff, all stuff, and i see always their members wfeatured and writting regulary in all the main press. They can hold a meeting in west belfast as some of their meember their have a lot of respect but maybe it is their left republican politics. i disagree with both of them but in belfast people only really know the swimmers in communities because they can see them there doing things and because they have far more members and because they are not afraid of direct action which i like.
As an American, I've been amazed at the ability of various US anti-war groups to join in a unified voice of "no war on Iraq". Everyone from far left civil rights groups, to Palestinian supporters, to business men worried about their money, to Organised Labour, to mothers from suburbia, to old veterans of WW II, to Quakers and various other religious organisations -- Each group arriving at the conclusion that war is a bad idea from their own path, yet, in a remarkable feat for Americans, we have so far managed to focus on the message that we all agree on - No War.
Even we here in the land of propaganda can let a single message unify us without letting other divisions come between the "segments" of the movement.
If you allow "infighting" to decrease focus on the single message that people from any polital party can share, then your effectiveness is killed already.
i was so pleased to see that some folks from about these parts are trying to organise a demo for the 15th feb in belfast. if the people's front of judea don't manage to annihilate the popular people's front of judea, and a time, start point and secret handshake are organised, is there somewhere that this information could be found so i could go along?
Don't know if there's anything happening in Belfast on the 15 Feb but there is a non-political* demo organised for the 8 February from 12 to 4pm. Can't remember where it is taking place but the poster is up in Giro's Cafe and it is likely to be around the city centre:)
*means not called by a political party
