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.

Do you even read the times
"they are openly backed by the right-wing agenda" ..... who cares that they are called the Labour Party or whatever
One thing about that thing on Kenny: constant reiteration of it being a totally peaceful protest. I was there, I know as much as anyone that it can be classified as a peaceful protest as a whole but we all know that there was belligerance and some violence not just against Gards but by scumbags pissing off protesters. This primarily went on at Burgh Quay, though.
In the interest of keeping things fair and honest, admit that there was some 'violence' and an 'incident' at Burgh Quay and deal with it; convincing ourselves there wasn't is to ignore something rotten and potentially damaging to RTS especially and the movement as a whole.
The debate, an honest debate, has to continue.
i defy anyone to have the nerve to call the labour party anything but an establishment right-wing party (doesn't matter how moderate they are), and the support of the irish times, RTE, and the various trade unions shows how conservative and pathetic they are.
labour is not a fucking socialist party, jim, you need to wash your filthy mouth out. how is it that labour would go into coalition with the devil, if it gave them some power, but refuses to contemplate a coalition with the ONLY socialist party in the dail, Sinn Fein, (or even Joe Higgins). and dont give me any shite about Sinn Fein and the IRA, that phase of history is over, SF is now being judged politicaly and not militaristically, and all the conservatist parties are running scared. how is it that SF is the only party to offer free health to ALL rather than labours continuation of the two-tier system. no, the future for labour is coalition with FF and FG, maybe then we can organise resistance more efficently and effectively,
Just an observation right, but did anyone notice that on the Late Late when Pat Kenny asked Joe Carolin what kind of society he would have in place of a capitalist one which we have today, joe failed to answer to question instead choosing to reiterate what he had already said was at fault in our society....does he even know what hes at?
whats trhe difference between anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation?
anti-captialism means against a system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development is proportionate to the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
anti-globalisation is a very loose term, used to freely by the left at the moment
it could mean, you are against global travel, global communication, global sport associations, or as (I presume) it is used by the left, anti global capitalism
the term, anti globalisation is causing much confusion
it makes protestors who travel to far of lands to protest seem like hipocrits (surely soemone who doesn't like global things would stay at home and not travel)
ant-capitalism is less wooly banner to protest under
without wanting to get in the middle of faction bickering, I would say that as campaign names go "globalise resistance" is quite good. It puts the emphasise on the resistance being global, and doesn't make one think "what is it these people don't want to be globalised?"
just my tupence worth
Phill
The anti-globalisation term is a very broad, wishy-washy, umbrella term that can be used by people that believe one or more of the following:
1. nation states having control over their own capitalist economies is good (the good old days pre-1973)
2. capitalism can be "reformed" and made more humane just like it was (when?!!): groups like Jubliee2000, DropTheDebt
3. capitalism is the root cause of all the problems, the new world of mobile capital and production is an acceleration of the problems
4. the post-WW2 institutions (IMF, WB, NGOs, UN) can exercise more humane, people-oriented policies in a benevolent world capitalism
anti-capitalists believe:
the root cause of the problem is capitalism, messing around trying to reform capitalism is flawed because it is fundamentally the exploitation of the majority for the profit of the minority.
