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.

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.

Funny that ex FG hack Abi Campbell got very close to Paul Murphy nearing the desperate end to their campaigns. When your revelution comes it's going to be a fucking small one. And no i am not in any political group or named in your bitter little rants.
Damn you took away the comment supposedly by Oisin, that was funny....
Ray Dillion, you guys crack me up... least political person...ever
Finbar 'Fianna Fail' Dwyer. ahahahaha
cant believe you deleted the most quality comedy here in ages.
The only thing worse than being talked about.............
It seems to me that there is some idiot that just wants to stir things up all over again. There is no place whatsoever for personal slurs being thrown. Any political differences should be discussed in a polite and comradely manner. There are important differences between all the different left wing parties in UCD which I will discuss with anyone but indymedia is not the place to discuss these things as previous experience has shown it more than usually descends into bitter sectarian name calling rubbish.
Boy this is a sterile little slanging match.
Tomato or Tomatoe
If the KBC want to suport a lefty and one who has the promise to be a campaigning one, then that is the KBC's problem.
They are that oppurtunist.
Its up to dillon to turn round and fight and that will prove his credentials not a troll on indymedia.
Typical navel-gazing bullshit. We now have 3 out of 5 UCDSU Sabbat. Officers very much to the left of centre and all we get is the typical inter-party fighting spiel. Give it a break. Last Wednesday was a proud, proud night for the students of UCD, in particular those are at the forefront of the fight against fees and for the widening of access to education. Regardless of party affiliation we now have a Union Exec which will fight for students with three excellent officers in Paul Dillon, Oisín Kelly and Aidan Regan - and surely congratulation, not fragmentation, is in order.
I have just seen something that I don't think should go unanswered. A posting above seems to imply that the SP campaign somehow were very close to Abey Campbell (ex FG) and advocated some kind of transfer pact or something. I heard that this rumour was flying around the Dillon camp but it is utter rubbish. It seems to be yet another mistruth that was going around about us during the campaign.
We called on those that voted for us to transfer to Paul Dillon on the basis of his work he did in CFE and the fact he was standing on a certain anti fees and anti SU establishment programme. His election will raise the expectations of students for a real fight on fees and an attack on the hacks. This is why we transfered to Dillon and voted for Aidan Regan. We did not call for any transfer to Campbell or Woulfe whatsoever.
Dear "SA", you are perfectly entitled to decide who is or is not a "true socialist" and you have a great deal of "left" tradition behind you -- that all too common tnedency of labeling those with slightly different ideology "non-leftist", "counter-revolutionary", etc.
But for crying out loud, calling them "bizarre right wing anarchists". I'll say bizarre. I mean after all, the anarchists you are likely to run into over in Europe are form the "left anarchist tradition". Yes over here you can find some "right wing anarchists" (individualist anarchists) if you know where to look. And by that I DON'T mean folks like the Ayn Rand "objectivists" or other capitalist "Libertarians" but people who are actually anarchists. And no, I'm not one, but it's worth reading their analysis of "property" (which the "left" tends to take for granted as real instead of as artifact -- something that exists only in terms of social relationships).
I told you so. I warned you'se that once those apalling 'victories' for those obnoxious trots (Elected by a minority vote of a minority of UCD students) were announced last week that this would happen. Trots always make a b**ls up of anything they 'run' and this won't be any different. The only thing to do is to literally f**k the trots out of Belfield.
Maybe coz they had the temerity to question the SWP leadership and eventually split from them (well documented on their website). Maybe the SWP uses the 'right wing split' slogan to innoculate their membership against them. "Free thinking split" doesn't sound so good. Maybe there is a petty sectarian member of the SWP who slanders them under a variety of pseudonyms and guises on indymedia.
Anyone that makes attacks like this should at least have the guts to give their names.
There are differences between people involved in the CFE over the past year. But those differences can be dealt with in a proper debate and discussion (preferably not on indymedia).
To be honest I'm sick of gobshites devaluing indymedia with personalised and anonymous attacks on others. Indymedia.ie has great potential, this type of shite is wrecking it.
Before I get accused of putting up the posting by some anonymous muppet, I was in a lecture at 1.57pm!
I reckon it came from a shit stirrer, and guess what, it worked
hehehehehehehe
Whats the problem? The TCDYU cooperate all the time with TCDSY seeing as we have so much in common regarding Northern Ireland. Like us, they believe in keeping the taigs in their place.
We are submitting a joint resolution to bar taigs from using the College Green entrance and to bar them from the Pav.
We are going to have a tripartite alliance with the DUP at the USI Congress. This is possible due to the wonderful work at QUB by the SP. Their backing for DUP motions in support of British Army recruiting stalls and condemning as sectarian a bursary named afeter Pat Finucane is in the best traditions of Empire Socialism!
The Ramsay MacDonald spirit is alive and well in the CWI.
The SP are now threatening people with guns! Can you imagine the hysteria on indymedia if the Sinners did that!
What does "William Blennerhassett" have against us? The guy is a shit stirrer and nothing more than a fool who is waisting my time and the viewers to indymedia BY MAKING WORTHLESS COMMENTS. Again the argument has turned from one thing to another.
It really amazes me that some one this forum are oppossed to a "trot" being elected to the postition of deputy education president. Again who would ypou have voted for? A campaigning active socialist like oisin or a Fine Gaeler? The answer is clear. Who will stand up for a democratic fighting students union - The socialist. Who stand against fees rather than paying it lip service - the socialist.+
Its time to move on in UCD. For the first and hopefully not the last, the Union has some left wing campaigners in it. As written above there are now 3 sabat officers who will fight fees and will hopefully bring the campaign further. Oisin will do an excellent job as im sure will Paul Dillon and co. hopefully the "KBC" will told where to go.
'a fool who is waisting my time and the viewers to indymedia '
How did you get into Trinners without learning how to spell?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph how low can you go? The man made a spelling error so what? Get a life and get off indymedia. This is not the place for that shite.
