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.

Thirty Left-wing MPs have written to Ofcom to press it to censor X under the Online Safety Act. The evidence of 'hate' on the platform is threadbare, but it's obvious why they want to clip its wings, says Laurie Wastell.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9Yeah Shane I seen this article in a British based paper that passes itself off as an 'Irish' Sunday newspaper. Again not giving any names coz I won't give any publicity to this rag that last week called on it's readers to vote for a continuation of the Fianna Failure/Regressive Democrats coalition government. Don't worry I didn't buy it just had a quick look at it while I was gauking at the papers in Easons. It was kinda strange article really. If anything it's giving Indymedia Ireland more publicity. They published IMC Ireland's Web Site Address so at the very least we will get some curious people looking up Indymedia Ireland for the first time so that's not a bad thing at all! One interesting thing that they said was that one particular Garda who I won't name and we all know who I'm talking about is being singled out and left to dry and that 5 or 6 six other guards as well may become the sacrificial lambs. I was there for the whole day on the Reclaim The Streets Street Party on the Bank Holiday Monday and what happened that day was planned for well in advance and ordered from the very top i.e Ministerial level. Even hours before we all met up outside the GPO O'Connell Street was crawling with coppers, the largest turnout of cops many of whom were never seen in Dublin city centre before and they all crawled out of the woodwork. So there was no spontaneous loss of control and sudden panic as the Garda apologists and the Garda rent a mob and their rich and powerful and corrupt friends in the media, the business community and politicial circles are claiming.
Well done you guys, sorry persons in Indymedia, you have been paid the ultimate compliment. The establishment press does not like you. Keep up the good work.
Conservative Unionist, Eoghan Harris, inventor of Democrat Left, to-day in the Sunday Independent also attacked indymedia. The conservative forces are getting worried that their monopolization of the means of communication has ended, and that their monopilization of power is thereby threatened.
A few points -
The paper is not a politicaly orientated newspaper in the truest sense - more a gossip/celebrity rag aimed the the most uneducated in our society. It rarely applies analysis and employs shock value to sell papers. Now, most papers do this but The Sun, et al are different. It's audience couldn't give a shit about politics except when it visibly/directly effects them or when some flavour of scandal is abound.
I remember a famous incident in 1990. The the day the Soviet Union collapsed they had a headline and major story about some celebrity's philandering. Not to worry, the most significant world event since 1945 got a four line monosyllibic write up somewhere after page 3.
Its a sensationalist little rag that takes advantage of people ignorance and keeps them in the dark as to real issues - all the time playing to the agenda of conservatism and the status quo. Granted, it can mask it well at times, but lets take one thing for granted - These papers are deeply conservative and highly opinionated. The Sun supported Thatcher all through the 80s. Stir up a bit of rabid nationalism, too. That takes minds away from realising the evils of capitalism in the global sense. Anyone old enough will remember the infamous "Gotcha!" headline from the 80s, or the german footballers in world war one uniform.
Mr. Lowest Common Denominator knows his audience. And by manipulating them it's easy to play politics as seen in the last number of British elections.
Take a copy and look at the use of language. Words like "blasted" "terrorist" "scum" show up a lot - simple, sensationalist words - interesting to certain minds. "Mayday's Robo Cop" another, nice and simple euphemism. It's not the job of the Sun to give detailed, correct facts followed by individual opinion.
I've held this opinion for a long time and personally, I wouldn't use it to wipe my arse.
Paul you might not want to advertise this rag but personally I want to be able to find out whats been said about us, so please can someone tell us which paper said what?
Maybe an excert or three?
I have several life long ambitions
One is to be classified as a dangerous subversive by a Government.

Bei Indymedia de sind zur Zeit die Open Posting und Kommentar Funktionen ab geschaltet.
i think why indymedia has been misunderstood is that, along with the increased activity or the last few cos of what happened not everyone is posting _news_ some ppl including me are posting opinion pieces which are entirely different from the _independent_ news and there should be more distinction made between between news articles and comments and alot more signs put up around the site saying " we (the loose group called indymedia) cannot be responsible for what is posted etc, to help the confused tabloid journalists.
Hi 8den,
Sorry for not replying to you sooner but I started a new job last week so I don't have as much time to comment here as I used to. Anyhow the tabloid rag in question is the 'Irish' Sunday Mirror. Notice the Irish in italics as they're not an Irish based paper at all, but that's beside the point here.
