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.

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.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13If you used the link to Protest.net provided in the left-hand column you wouldn't have made this error. There is no Wed May 6th 2003. There _is_ a Wed May 7th though and YOURS could be the first event advertised on it, leaving the newswire free for news:
R Isible, you have tech/editor level access, can you please drop me an email personally please?
The number of responses to my request for a one on one tutorial to learn how to featurise and edit was zero.
Also it is a good idea encouraging people to use protest.net calendar but they wont unless there is a link on the front page, which i think we should do. Check out vancouver IMC for how they do it, on the right hand above the newswire.
notice that no one uses it
http://www.protest.net/indyirl/calendrome.cgi?span=week&day=7&month=May&year=2003&list=&state_values=
and often the site is down or spammed with useless info - unless someone is going to regularly unspam it, it will be worse than useless.
the place for announcemenst is on the newswire and activists shouldn't be harassed by R Isible
Apologies for the confusion. The protest is taking place on Tuesday 6th May.
The newswire is for NEWS, such as the reports of what activists (people that _do_ things) have actually _done_.
There are many good examples if you look down the newswire where people report on what they and others have _done_.
The problem with allowing announcements from every Tom, Dick and Harry onto the newswire is that those pieces of news disappear off the newswire. Things like T.Hourigan's latest report from Shannon, the results of the Shannon _activist_ trials etc.
Furthermore, your _own_ announcement will disappear quickly off the newswire a long time before May 6th if there were not a policy of editing for truth, uniqueness and originality.
Note that I have NOT deleted announcements. I'm requesting those that are posting those announcements to use the provided alternate mechanism for all of our convenience.
The argument that no one uses protest.net and therefore that no one should use it is strange. All the other lemmings are jumping off the cliff so why shouldn't you?
i blame the Socialist party so I do. for everything hate hate hate hate
The idea is to get this stuff off the wire! So the argument that no-one uses it is a bit circular - it would be bad form of any IMC editor to hide an event announcement when there is no traffic to the protest.net section. (Spam problems, we can work on). If there are no notices there there will be no traffic. So the point of putting notes on event announcements at the moment is to encourage the use of the calendar - ultimately it will become the natural thing to do (hopefully a clearer link will be added in the coming days) and then it would be fair to un-clog the wire of event announcements. For the life of me I can't figure out why adding a suggestion of any sort to an article is a problem - surely it's not being suggested that we should delete without explaining?
This protest will not condemn the murderous suicide bombings carried out by Palestinians. Neither will it condemn the attempts to drive settlers out of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
The posting above is obviously not from me, but from one of the same handful of people who take every opportunity to throw abuse at the Socialist Party.
accurately portrayed the SP position on Occupied Palestine. He just would have put a spin on it.
YOUR RIGHT JAMES. YOU KNOW WHAT THEM SOCIALIST PARTY ONES ARE LIKE ALWAYS FUCKING UP OUR MARCH TO POWER. IF IT WASNT FOR THEM WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT REAL STUFF ON INDYMEDIA AND NOT JUST HAVE TO SPEND OUR TIME ATTACKING THE SP. MIND YOU NO FUN IN THAT MIGHT EVEN HAVE TO THINK FOR 2 SECONDS.
Time of protest has been changed to 6.00pm as this is when the event will apparently be starting - please make it along whenever you can, but the earlier, the better.
The SP are correct to call Palestinian Militants terrorist.
