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.

Jump To Comment: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Interesting to note that some people consider the IPSC to be a serious organisation, some time ago I contacted them re setting up a branch where I live. I am still waiting for a reply. Re SWP, their methods have pissed of a hell of a lot of people, including yours truly.
Well, I can only speak for myself, but I see the intifada as violent resistance to both the Israeli State occupation and to the Palestinian Authority/ Arafat.
The intifada is violent (starting with kids throwing rocks at soldiers armed with the latest in weaponry!) and this is because violence works.
I support national liberation struggles, I think it is preferable to allow people to choose their government and State than to force them to accept a particular government/State. I would argue that they are misguided if they think that a State is where they should stop in their struggle for self-determination and that they're better off rejecting control by local elected despots, not just "foreign" despots.
I support the right to self-defence. Palestinians are defending themselves against people that are forcibly taking land that they use and forcibly controlling their political and social institutions.
Black blocs are not even half as violent as the intifada (more's the pity). They have mostly been about anonymity with a bit of property destruction thrown in on occasions. So, I don't think that the comparison stands up there.
Its the Israelis who are not only murdering,but SLAUGHTERING the palestinians,asshole!
Let him ask the question. I think that if the SWP are behind something then the 'organisation' usually peters out within a month or so of the event that sparked it. Does the "Irish Anti War Movement" exist in itself or is it just an SWP thing?
Also, he might want to know just because he (or she, sorry) doesnt want to spend an afternoon with people trying to flog a shit newspaper in his face (most amounts of times I was asked if I wanted to buy the paper on a Saturday protest: 14 - and two or three people asked me more than once. I thought at that stage they'd know my face and my answer combined with snarl and dirty look).
Also, just a quick thing about supporting the intifada. Why is it that a lot of irish socialists (not just the SWP) and even some anarchists, support the intifada, one result of which is the death of innocent Israeli citizens (not forgetting the lives of young Palestinians also), but wont support something like a Black Bloc in Seville? Which is the more violent? This was prompted by the article on infoshop (http://www.infoshop.org/rants/corpse_last.html) which has some good points (but also some very weak arguments which are paper thin), namely the one about leftists supporting violent struggles abroad but then saying stuff like 'violence alienates the workers' for stuff at home...
Hmmm...
I sympathise with the Palestinians getting fucked over so badly but I dont think that the current intifada is the way forward, its just a cycle of violence against the person that piles up the bodies on both sides...
If the Palestinian Arabs would stop murdering jews they might have a chance of a state even if they don't deserve one.
Well Terry and Observer,
I presume you wont be at the picknic then?
Tell us then what are you going to do then? "observe"
The Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign are a serious groupe and have very serious and pressing issues to deal with, please take your petty bickkering elsewhere.
why not write an article about "SWP hijackings" instead of all these crap unintresting sarcastic postings
No, it's another SWP attempt to hijack an independent group.
Could somebody me if the IPSC equals the SWP, if so then the Palestinian people are doomed.
This is needed to highlight to the Americans and to the general public at large about what's happening in Palestine. Unfortunately it clashes with the All-Unions Reinstate Mick O'Reilly/Eugene McGlone Public Meeting also on tomorrow night at 8:00PM in Wynns Hotel, Abbey Street - And I certainly know which event that I'll be going to tomorrow night. As I say you can't be everywhere and at everything at the same time! Certainly the Reinstate Mick O'Reilly/Eugene McGlone Campaign is taking up most of my time outside of work at the moment.
