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.

30 Left-Wing MPs Call on Ofcom to Censor X Under the Online Safety Act. Of Course They Do Sun Nov 23, 2025 09:00 | Laurie Wastell
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 9 10 11 12While I obviously don't know the details of the dispute between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy, our chances in Japan/Korea have been reduced by his departure.
No way.
Keano thinks he is better than the rest. Hes the highest earning player on the team!!! his money makes him better than the team? then he should be expelled. The capitalist FAATCAT
First of all, I think you will find that the former Ireland team captain's name is spelt keane, not keen. Second, this dispute has as little to do with capitalism as is humanly possible. Keano is not a "capitalist fatcat" and he does not think his money makes him better than everyone else. He had concerns about perparations for the World Cup and he voiced them. Unfortunately, he voiced them in the wrong manner by allegedly calling the Ireland manager an "English cunt". He is one of the most talanted sportsmen in the world and deserves every penny he earns.
Contrary to the belief of some clinton, this is a
news website, not a platform for anti-capitalism,
so the article is valid.
I was referring to the statements:
"Shame on the rest of the Irish squad for not standing behind Keeno, but thats capitalism for you"
and
"Hes the highest earning player on the team!!! his money makes him better than the team? then he should be expelled. The capitalist FAATCAT"
It is these people who attempted to link the Keane saga with an anti-capitalist struggle. I was, infact, pointing out how ridiculous that was.
Roy Keane actually exposed the junket mentality of Irish society, in particular the fatcat attitude of the IFA, and the carelessness that has crept into professional soccer because of the amount of money players are paid. It was carelessness that cost United their title because several players under performed. Keane is a man with principles. He's not a socialist but neither is he a liberal. Modern soccer is full of liberals who are afraid to speak their mind. Keane has cost himself the glory of a world cup because he had a go at the IFA's methods and in turn this led to a slanging match with McCarthy. He attacked the wrong people. He should have had a go at the suits in the IFA. Keane demands high standards, which have much to do with his Cork background and if he hadn't been a soccer player he might have been a radical (perhaps he is). Problem is who will analyse this from a social perspective? No one I suspect.
i go to indymedia to read news that one can't find elsewhere.
i think it is a travisty that people are abusing this website to rant about some football player.
pakistan and india are on the verge of nuclear war and what was the top headline on skynews today?roy keane arriving back in cheshire of course.
If he was a "capitalist", surely he'd realise his advertising revenue would be damaged by departing the world cup? So perhaps he had valid reasons, albiet incorrectly voiced.
I wish to protest against the final elevation of sport, and professional soccer in particular, from inappropriate inclusion in press, radio and television news (even the 'qualiities' - RTE and the 'Irish Times')to the first, main and (oh so) dominant item!
Chomsky is correct on sport.
Roy Keane is a Fine Gael supporter, just to break
any spell you may have had about him being a working class hero. Have you seen his house on the TV!!!!!!!! Big difference from his origins in Mayfield Cork.
The Roy Keane story is of more relevance to the working men and women of Ireland than many of the issues raised on this site. That is of course unfortunate.
As a retired armchair anarchist it is funny to see how removed many on the so called left are from the daily concerns of workers.
Roy Keanes non-participation has taken the shine off the Irish escapade in the World Cup.
Yes it is now a game riddled by all of the worst facets of capitalism. But for 90 minutes it provides many (not all) with the best escapism available in their hum-drum lives.
Sack McCarthy!
To everybody who is crying the expulsion of Keane in Europe: You make me puke!!! This fellow is just a kid making caprices. He is earning a lot of money, as his friends though, to play with a fucking ball, appearing as a sandwichman (full of adds everywhere)...and everybody is speaking about him, making the headlines of the newspapers?!... what da fuck?! Football can be a hobby, nice to be seen on tv,...for some of you, but it' s still a LEISURE!! There are thousands of more important things happening in the world rather than give any interest to this bucko! As said before, all the medias were deversing on us this so horrible news, forgetting that there is a war starting between India and Pakistan, that Bush is still the president of the USA, that the extreme right wings are rising in Europe,.... Fucking hell lads, WAKE UP AND FIGHT!! It' s not him that is gonna change the world, or if it is we are really in the shit!! Stop football-fanatism and challenge the reality!! It' s maybe less fun for you, but at least you would have tried to escape the dreams they are implementing in your head!
Fuck da world cup - from a frenchy -
Ps: thanks Indymedia for being what you are!!!!
