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.

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.

Now, about this family, can't they live in a part of Nigeria where their tribe has no influence? Nigeria is a very rich country cos if it's oil. must be plenty of jobs over there. Beats travelling thousans of miles to end up doing the crap jobs that Irish people don't want to do.
We are all the same. Skin colour doesnt matter.
Racism is a phenomena that exists only in capitalist society. Capitalism maintains and increases racism by putting people against each other in hostile situtation. There is no racism in true socialism. It is impossible, because in socialism people are equal. That is the fundamental idea of socialism. In socialism skin colour doesn’t matter, the only thing that matters is you and your thoughts.
Great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had friends all around the world. He was ’colourblind’. He was truly a great man, he said no to racism. He supported all nations to live peacefully with each other. He formed Juche studygroups to Africa and helped ignorant black people in jungles to understand fully how they were oppressed by capitalism, imperialism and racism. Great leader Kim Il Sung was truly a great friend of all freedom loving people in Africa and elsewhere too. Great leader comrade Kim Il Sung is remembered in Africa as a great liberator and friend of black people.
There is no racism in socialist Korea and never will be! Leader Kim Jong Il will not tolerate racism in his country. Black people too can walk freely in the streets on Pyongyang. There will be no problem because there are no nazis, fascists etc in Korea. There is only one race in socialist Korea. It is the race of working people. All my life i have wanted to be more like great leader Kim Il Sung and dear leader Kim Jong Il. I have never ever had any racist thoughts in my head. I say that we have to open our eyes and free our minds. We must join together under the leadership of comrade Kim Jong Il and say no to racism!
Nice one Joe, you'll save us all the bother of going after McDrool when there are such prime racists as you right here.
... "Esteemed and Great Opposer to GWBush and Capitalism"?
There has been quite a bit of this rubbish popping up on IMC the last while.

I agree.
"Great leader comrade Kim Il Sung had friends all around the world. He was ’colourblind’. He was truly a great man, he said no to racism. He supported all nations to live peacefully with each other.

Are you pulling the piss????????????
Why would anyone support that dictator unless they were forced into submission????
And it sounds strange to be coming from Ray the Ed, so must be an imposter trying to impregnate some false support for Kim il Sung into IMC in order to discredit the users. You might need to give that brush a wash soon...
Nah, Ray hasn't been claimed by the evil forces; he was just moving the Kim-is-good article to the article on racism that went up just before it. Though I don't want to put words in his mouth I doubt if he has anything to say on its content ;)
I put up the original post as a favour and to bring the protest to peoples attention.
What is all this North Korea crap? I used to find all that stuff amusing, but not if it obscures a serious message about racism in Ireland. How about a separate thread for lunatics to ramble about 'juche', etc.
Anyway, CALLING ALL NORMAL PEOPLE, please make it to the protest if you can and ignore the rambling above.
Only that I should probably get some tolerance award for not just deleting it immediately.
go to brazil if you like to live in a monkey cultural society . the irish people are racist and proud.
Same old reflex action from some people. I suppose they work for a refugee organisation so see racism in everything, even the Tweenies.
I know that some refugees are highly qualified people but the vast majority end up doing the crap jobs.
Is that racist?
Stop sticking labels on people, it's the small beginning of Totalitarianism and I hate it.
Josef - obviously not really thought this one through.
Q. Why do emigrants, those of differnt skin colour, culture, religions, ethnic group end up doing the 'crap jobs'
A. Because they like them?
B. Because they are not as clever as Irish white people?
C. Because they experince and are subjected to discrimination in all forms of society, including the labour market?
Did I? It's the state of things at the moment that immigrants end up doing crap jobs, which is why I said that this family would probably be better off in Nigeria, in some area not ruled by a tribe which is into GM.
There's nothing racist in that, I'm just reflecting the facts.
We've no obligation to keep anyone unless they are in danger if they return home. I'm sure this tribe has no power in Lagos so they will be quite safe there.
End of story. Nice try but bye bye.
..merely pointed out that racism exists in many forms and in all areas of society.
Kevin you say "Ireland for the Irish" but in your related link you have an american organistion, surely given your expressed ideology, then this natall organistion is, given american history of intermarriage along ethnic groups, filled with, what you have called "bastard half-breeds".
Just curious like.
Also to helps you all understand you can your clarify the following catgories of people as being "Irish" in your view.
A) Irish Protestants
B) Irish Jews
C) Irish Travellers
D) Black Irish
E) Asylum seekers who have become Irish citizens
F) Those who are naturalised Irish Citizens through marriage.
I am sure there are a bunch of other categories of "Irishness" that I have overlooked but this might get you started.
