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: 1 2 3 4 5There's a spectre haunting Europe: the continuing advance of neo-liberal capitalism.
The resulting insecurities, and now even desperation, create the breeding ground for fascism.
Unless the Left can reverse this advance the outlook is increasingly grim. How to avoid the history of the 1930s?
Do Cowen and Harney, and Kenny and Gilmore have the answers in Ireland?
Im glad someone else is using the proper descriptive term for our governments collective foreign policy.
There seems to be a fear about the place of calling todays western world Facist.
Cowen,Harney, Aherne, FF, PD's, the New Irish Greens, Bush,Blair and all other EU leaders who are part of the coalition of the willing, even those cowards like Ireland's policy makers-to afraid to admit it they are part of it , are in fact, de facto Facists. The pretence of domestic democracy fails instantly when mirrored with the pretence of democratic forigen policy. The Irish press and all other monopolised main stream media are to unwilling to call it what it is-Facism, why? because for reasons to vairied to go into they support this facism with a thin democratic veil to disguise it.
The game will soon be up....I hope.
I was in Shannon with a banner with the
'Fianna Fail supports
IraqiGenocide' ...
the banner I like with the 'F' heading replaced with swastica in place of the two F's...Very effective.
And by the supprt shown by passers by they would seem to agree.
Call it ike it is.
The article was about new labour's failings in Britain leading to a rise in the far right's support (althogh i thought searchlight sounded cautiosly happy enough with their failed breakthrough attempt at the recent elections) which is something to be wary of alright. What does this, however, have to do with the coalition of the wiling sponsoring 'Iraqi genocide'? The involement in Iraq is an ongoing disaster but at the same time any British/American soldier that fights against the most reationary and sectarian forces on the planet, placing themselves between sub fascist thugs seeking to inflame multiple ethnic based civil wars and their would be victims, cannot, in my opinion, be called genocidal. The only time Fianna Fail supported any sort of Iraqi genocide was when giving Saddam beef. Furthermore, why did our 'de facto fascist' leader recently step down bloodlessly? In fact, why have all our fascist leaders been voted in and out of office peacefully? Why does the state broadcaster give the opposition parties a platform? If this in't a democrcy why are reporters without borders putting Ireland 9th on their free speech index? Are they also part of the complacent, fascist enabling media?
I ask so many questions only because you have made so many peculiar statements and i feel it would be wrong to let this go unchallenged.
Dear Lord, Paul, many thanks for setting me straight. I was totally unaware that I was a member of a fascist party.
Anti-fascist campaigners will not thank you for your reducing the meaning of the term fascist to a piece of casual abuse. The issue of the rise of the far-right across Europe is far too important for this sort of name-calling. Call everyone you disagree with a fascist and you remove the sting from the word and open the door to those who would destroy our democracy and reduce our people to objects of hate and villification.
The post has to do with Younge's argument that the failure of British Labour has created an opportunity for fascism to make a come-back. Only the political obtuse use 'fascist' as a term of abuse to slur those they disagree with: and by so doing they occlude the real meaning of fascism, and ignore the real possibility of its resurgence.
