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.

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.

Iosaf,
Your writing style is atrocious. Can you please explain in laymans terms what all this stuff means? Why have you printed people's names and addresses on the site? Who are these people and what have they got to do with IMC Eire?
Yours in extreme confusion (nothing new with a Iosaf post unfortunately)
r u saying that these ppl are looking at indymedia? maybe its just workers at these places reading the site - there is revolutionaries everywhere! moles on da inside, keep on bringing da system down
Indeed, why does iosaf prattle on like he does? Is he a geek? I was amused at the first reply?"Why have you got these people's numbers on the screen?"
Makes perfect sense, if you're not just trying to have a go at Iosaf (who is one of the better writers on this site..just look around the first few pages of the current wire).
We release our server statistics, included in that is the number of requests from particular domains - the Internet admin system is open so anyone can just type in the domain or the numerical version and get the contact details for the server. Instead of just releasing headline numbers like other websites do (i.e. 1,000,000 impressions this year! wow aren't you great) we allow users to interpret the data in their own way and draw their own conclusions. Extrapolating particular conclusions from combining different (publicly available, so there's no privacy breach - and it's all aggregate data so it's not as if you can find out where a particular article was written) is entertaining on a bored evening.
Just in case anyone else is going to go thru the numbers remember it's not always going to be accurate - people at home, for example, often don't have the same IP address each time because they are on dial-up (as opposed to work computers on a network which can be given a fixed address). Or students are using computers in labs so again there's no continuity.
One interesting thing I discovered from combining the referring pages and the popular pages is that some of the most popular pages are those mentioned in an article or forum post elsewhere. or the difference between those who use indymedia.ie and ireland.indymedia.org to come in. also the types of search terms that people use before they end up with us. For example there was 19 searches in Google news for "allah AND shuttle" that led the happy surfer to an Indymedia Ireland story - or that we get Babelfish-ed every now and again.
but I'm quite likely to be wrong on the tech end of it, not being much of an expert. anyone care to help me out or put me right?
and if you want to play your own stats games...
http://www.indymedia.ie/WWW_REPORTS/www.html
another health warning though - only goes back last 90 days and is updated every day.
I told you I was bored.
think about this: quite a lot of our top 20 read articles are linked to from weblogs. Sometimes only the comments of weblogs rather than the actual posts.
spread the word...
That Aer Rianta are all over the site like fxxxs on sxxt - no surprise there then
and i know now that I and the spanish crew account for 0.33% of requests for info to the IReland site in the last 90 days when using Telefonicaroute: 80.32.0.0/16

. When we have used the swedish mirror are download has risen to near 5%.
I only put data online when it is really important like last year the data concerning the Al Samoud 2 missile, and yes that was really difficult to understand was it not.
So sorry about the phone number above mr computer owner of AerRianta im sure youre a good activist will you remember to go out for Feb15?
It took the USA ovwer two months to understand the significance of the AlSamoud after maybe half of my usual readers in Indymedia Ireland had grasped it. The other half never understand what im saying but read it anyway thinking it will be a standard text someday after i get the nobel prize.,
but I think the USA is remarkably stupid.
I mean with all that money and high tech, even the advantage of confiscating through the paperclip project most of the NAZI tech as well, and they still havent ruled the world. How terribly stupid the USA is. There it is with the highest percentage of its population in prison, the highest illitarcy rate in the developed world, the highest AIDS rate in the developed world, the most expensive yet statistically most unreliable and dangerous space programme, the most deaths from TB, viral pneumonia and Pubonic Plague in the developed world and they still have Bush and havent managed to rule the world.
More TV than anyone else, yet how terribly stupid they are. Sorry but it is true. The USA is a disastrous failure. IT is an embarrasment to the other civilised nations. The greatest problems of the modern world all include US intransigence in their thornyness. Take out the USA from modern international relations and well you would cut out the big bad bully.
The big bad stupid bully.
The Ugly big bad stupid bully.
Take monopolies.
Only the americans would have allowed Microsoft to develop. How terribly stupid was that.
Indeed they invented the game in the worst year of their depression. And did they lñeanr anything about capitalism from that? no.
terribly terribly stupid.
ONly the US can accomodate obese people who form support groups and host fashion shows and speak of being marginalised in a world where 800million are estimated by the World Bank, yes the World Bank to be starving. And the US solution?
give them GM rice.
how terribly stupid are they. They dont even realise how terribly stupid they are. They think it is anti-american sentiment. Nope it aint.
I was educated by Irish, Americans, British, French German and even Isreali tutors and teachers. I have worked with all nationalities and I must tell you the most stupid in general are the USA lot. I feel sympathy for these people with their sham democracy, their sham activism that raises a fifty eight year old woman with completely artifical teeth to near Goddess status jsut coz she sang against Vietnam. Christ are they stupid. IT is almost too late for the poor benighted fools to turn back the tide of hatred, apathy and revenge that have done nothing but prepare against themselves in fifty years of global hegomany.
They think they did a good job as world policeman, well they didnt they failed. utterly and completely. And it really saddens me that this stupid ignorant arrogant society that is the USA will probably never realise that it dug its own grave. IT didnt need Osama, it really surprises me that the stupid cretins thought to invent him.
anyway. tomorrow I will write to you all about what Aznar and Burlosconi hope to get from Bush for supporting his war on Iraq.
meanwhile id love a spliff.
yes there is another only the USA could spawn the mafia by banning not only canabis but alcohol as well. fucking stupid.
if anyone can name me five intelligent things that the USA has managed to do as part of its internal or external policy in the last fifty years i will send them a US/K t-shirt.
the challenge is put!
In order for every computer to access the internet, it need an address. This is a sequence of numbers that help identify the computer. Now if you use the internet at home your ISP (Eircom or IOL etc) give your computer this number automaticaly however some business who may have a need for a machine to be on line all the time use what is know as a dedicated IP. This means their address does not change. The indymedia servers IP is 66.39.75.250, so if you type http://66.39.75.250 you will still get to the indymedia website.
RIPE is a organisation that hands these out. Hence we can all lookup an ip (See the link above) and see who owns it. But that does not help us identify what the person looked at or who the person was. This is also a matter of public record.
Hope that helps the non techs and apoligies to the techs for being so basic.
coz he commented rightly against people saying americans are stupid further down the newswire.
so.
I like Americans. I just think the USA is stupid.
I held crying americans in my arms in the aftermath of Sept11. I welcomed americans to Barcelona and Europe after the Bush election. Americans of good conscience who had begun to think that they could suffer life in the USA no longer.
The USA is a failure. Its failure is all the greatest when one considers the genius and potential inherent in its peoples.
and now as is usual I go to great lengths like when Im trying my very best to be nice to the SWM, when I say
"I went to bed with an american once".
it was Feb last year. She was returning to the States after doing a stint of Aid work in Senegal.
She thought the USA was "misguided" which is just an intelligent way of saying "the USA is fucking stupid".
So now we can all see here that Indymedia is carrying our surveillance on who connects to their site. WOW!!! And they have the neck to criticise the USA. Brendan O'Connor get your pen out ... the public need to know how devious and sinister the Indymedia controllers are. So the guys in Intel having a quick look at your site could loose their jobs when you inform. That's really clever of you.
Suppose I shouldn't be surprised, never ever trusted Indymedia.
Don't be silly. It's not surveillance it's the same data that every site on the web produces (less, in fact, because I'm sure you know that we could log individual IPs and link them to particular pages but DON'T). And because this site isn't the tool of one or two people, but a communal resource, run collectively, that data is shared with all users. To suggest that this is putting anyone's job in danger is laughable.
