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.

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.

fucking idiot, instead of macho posturing sinead (nice to nice that last bastion of male bahviour being invade) and choking up the newswire with idiotic articles you'd consider y'know, ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING...
Otherwise may I recommend a lifetime membership of millwal football club,
Direct action yes, sub par Henry V "We few we happy few, we band of bleeding wombles" retoric just makes us look bad.
Grow the fuck up, quickly, and away from here.
The Good People of CAAB (Campaign for Accountability
of American Bases) regularly perform their own
"weapons inspections" of the the conventional and
nuclear weaponry at USAF bases in the UK.
Perhaps it is now time for the Good People of Ireland to perform their own inspections of the
unlawful? weapons activities that are taking place
at USAF Shannon?
Just a thought!
Has the roadcaster turned up yet...
"hey y'know what we need for our illegal sit in"
"What?"
"Bland commerical Pop!!"
"Yeah that'll totally fit into our ideals and ethics, and lets get the government yoof station to come down and play it"
"brillant!!!!!!!"
"hey how's that body armour coming along?"

Please GET TO SHANNON AIRPORT NOW!
by US mightier than U.S. - Irish People Sun, Feb 2 2003, 11:51pm
BLOCK THE RUNWAYS - YES! NOW! MOVE!
We need to block the runways at Shannon airport, so if people could begin to mobilize now, take a few days off work or college and head down with tents or vans or whatever you need for sleeping over. It's this easy!...
We will open a hole and move in when enough people are present. Don't be afraid - NO FEAR! Just think what part you and your friends can play in supporting the people of Iraq and all the human shields caught up in this.
Everybody knows and all reports show that the majority of Irish people are against this war. The threat to innocent lives both here and in Iraq is too great to let this continue any longer.
The US Embassy issued a public statement to their 90,000 citizens living in Ireland to be ready for immediate evacuation because of the very real threat of terrorist attack on them in Ireland. Fianna Fail didn't use that chance either to withdraw facilities to the US military at Shannon's civilian airport - they don't give a damn about any of us.
PLEASE CONSIDER THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE NOW.
We will protect anyone who comes down for a peaceful sitdown protest on the runways. There will be a group of people to keep you safe and the situation calm. You will be helped to move easily into positions for a sitdown on runways that may last for a day or two. Bring warm clothes and flasks for hot drinks...
Strength in numbers and that's crucial so PLEASE get going now and don't leave it until the 15th as that will be too late.
We need a couple of thousand peace activists at Shannon airport NOW! You're one of them!
Requests have been issued to 2FM to bring the Roadcaster to the Peace Camp and have it based there for the next while. They will show up so keep emailing them and phoning them.
This can be dealt with in a matter of days if people move and come prepared. There's plenty of green space so bring your tents and whatever else you feel might be useful. Warm sleeping bags and clothes are essential as it's a bit cold this weather. Don't let us all down, come down now!

I think I'll wait for orders/requests from the Peace Camp before I come running.
They are the one's on the scene, they should decide such calls to action.

Do the Shannon Peace Camp have a monopoly on what happens in terms of protest at Shannon? I wouldn't have thought so. That said, it would be best to co-ordinate with them if possible and anyone motivated to respond to the post above would be best off making sure that other people are going down with them. No organisation = diminshed effect.
