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.

Labour and the anarchists uniting to destroy the reputation of Galloway! Don't let the Tories and the fake radicals win! Defend Galloway against the liars and the traitors. Tell them what you think.

And tried for high treason...
Meme you idiot, the lone anarchist commenting on the Galloway story in the link you provide actually wrote "the way the alegations have come out does look HIGHLY suspicious BUT still I'd be much more on for waiting and seeing"
But of course for you we must jump to the dear leaders unconditional defence! To do otherwise is to attack him!
In a surprise move today the SP attacked labour.
SP sources claim that this attack was a direct criticism and not, I repeat, not, a chance to heap scorn on labour, while at the same time showing how fine the SP are.
The SP are committed to fighting the bin tax, and merely wanted to shame the labour party into playing a role in the campaign. They denounced claims that articles like this are nothing but sectarian back fighting and point scoring.
In an unrelated statement a member of SP also announced that all labour members were big poofs, and Pat Rabbitte looks like turnip and smells like one too.

-Grow the fuck up, or shut the fuck up, and preferably do both far away from me-
To be honest i couldn't tell you much about party decision in South Dublin County Council Area.
In Sligo we have constantly opposed the re introduction of Bin Charges while the conservative parties such as FF, SF and FG have increased charges, or more recently privatised the refuse service.
A lot of this boils down to central govn as you know and the resources allocated to regional government. Strong effective local government and reform of local govn is LP policy.
One of the parties’ policies and a policy based in EU Environmental directives is the idea that the polluter must pay. Again this argument can only be part of a comprehensive waste management strategy, which off course should include recycling facilities. On top of this the big polluters in Ireland, i.e. business, commercial and agricultural polluters should be forced to pay their fair share. Until this is the case i would argue that working class people shouldn't be forced to pay an extra tax. But the SP should really be looking beyond the initial argument and draw a link with recycling and environmental policy, to the polluter must pay scenario, people have to realise at some stage this can't go on forever.
Only around 3% of waste comes from Householders. The vast bulk of waste deposited in landfills is not actually Domestic waste, but rather commercial waste such as hundreds of tonnes of builders rubble etc.
The Government placed a 1% increased on peoples PRSI in 1983, to pay for local services, after they had 'abolished' local rates. They since Tried to bring rates back in in everything but name, by 1st trying to impose the Water charge on us, and now the Refuse Charge. Under the agreement reached in 1983, the councils were to be allocated X amount of money from peoples extra 1% PRSI contribution. Last year, for example, Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council only 48% of the money legally owed to them, under this agreement, from the state coffers. We are NOT the polluters, and as a result of our extra PRSI top up, we ARE supposedly paying for improved local services. Instead the government reudces Coropration tax, and tries to screw the working class folks once more!
LY member from sligo - It is shocking alright that they are trying to charge ye E550 per annum approx to collect your rubbish. Does it cost over 3 times as much to collect the rubbish in Sligo than it does in Dublin? -I think not!!
The fact is, that in the Dublin area, Labour have thus far refused to get actively involved in the 4campaigns against the Refuse Charges. In South Dublin Councty Council area, the chairman of the Refuse Charges campaign has TWICE written to both Pat Rabbitte, asking him to publicly call for mass non-payment of the charges, and to call on him & his members to get active in the campaign - Do you condemn them for not doing so??
It is good to see people getting genuinely active in their respective campigns against services charges, whether they be from Sligo, Kerry or Dublin. My hat goes off to them, no matter what organisation they belong to. All the campaigns are open to any person, from any organisation to join, so long as they are willing to play an active role in it. This point is always stressed at public meetings on the Issue held in the SDCCC area, and I've no doubt it is also made at the other campaigns' meetings.
The only time the CWI ever held power anywhere was in Liverpool. They implemented cutbacks rather than resign from the Labour Group.
Why wont the SP give John Throne a right of appeal against his expulsion?
