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.

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 3Irish Republican Socialist Party
29 June 2003
Solidarity With the Lesbian and Gay Liberation Struggle
Today is Lesbian, Gay, Bi, and Transgendered Freedom Day--sometimes
shortened to the more manageable title of "Pride Day"--and the Irish
Republican Socialist Party take this opportunity to express our solidarity
with the working women and men who continue to fight for the liberation of
sexual minorities. We in the IRSP recognise that the discrimination and
oppression confronted by non-heterosexuals are but a manifestation of
capitalism's tendency to divide the community, so that those with a common
interest in changing society remain divided. Like racism, sexism, and
religious sectarianism, heterosexism reduces the democratic content of
society and attempts to scapegoat one group for the shortcomings of the
capitalist system itself.
This day was selected to commemorate the struggle lesbians and gays because
of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. There and then, a handful of
drag queens reached the limit of their tolerance for the abuse meted out to
them by the city's police force and took action. Traditionally among
society's most powerless, these individuals faced down armed police and
sent them into panicked retreat. Their actions brought the broader lesbian
and gay community into an explosion that put the world on notice that no
longer would the denial of civil rights to members of sexual minorities be
accepted. The IRSP is proud to have as one of its US supporters a veteran
of the Stonewall riots and one of three people who went on immediately
afterwards to found the Gay Liberation Front, the most militant voice ever,
at that time, to speak out on behalf of homosexuals. We recognise that the
GLF demonstrated that the roots of this struggle lie in revolutionary
consciousness and we salute this American IRSP supporter for his courage
and pioneering efforts in that fight.
James Connolly told us that it was senseless to speak of national
liberation, if the society to be won would be one in which the majority of
its citizens--the working class--would remain oppressed by capitalism. He
stressed the need to gain the liberation of working class women from their
dual oppression by capitalism and sexism. We in the IRSP recognise that
members of sexual minorities form a section of the working class community.
Our struggle has as its objective the liberation of our class--not a
portion of our class, but of the entire working class. And, we recognise
that this cannot be achieved while any section of our class remains under
the heel of oppression.
The right to identify ones own sexuality without fear of reprisal is a
basic democratic right. Working class people have no interests in
preserving and promoting capitalist models of proper male or female
behavior. The working class has no interest in maintaining a heterosexual
monopoly on the expression of sexuality. The struggle for socialism is a
fight for an equitable distribution of the benefits of life. This is as
true about the ability to express ones love and desire for another without
fear, as it is about seeking a fair share of society's wealth. As
revolutionary socialists, we in the IRSP support all struggles seeking
greater freedom to attain those things which give life meaning and value.
As revolutionary socialists, we in the IRSP oppose all forms of
exploitation, inequality, and injustice. We support the struggle of sexual
minorities to gain equality with other members of society and we reject all
forms of discrimination against them.
Stonewall is a part of our heritage, just as much as any fight waged for
national liberation, women's liberation, civil rights, better working
conditions, or fair compensation of labour are parts of our heritage. We
are out for the freedom of the working class; straight, lesbian, gay, bi,
or transgendered. We stand in solidarity with all members of the working
class and especially with those fighting to end all forms of social
oppression.
