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.

Here's hoping the cyclists have a trip to remember, and thanks for all the solidarity.
On their way to Mayo - Merthyr abú! Madrid abú! Shell chun Sáile abú!
Some scenes from the piece performed by the cyclists in the park.
what gardai were involved in pressuring the cruiscin and how did they go about it. If we don't name names then they get away with it.
lovely camera work Ray, thanks !
i must say it was a sight for sore eyes seeing everybody cycling up patrick street in the middle of cork city, music playing,banners and flags flying and smiling faces, i was buzzing with energy just after watching ye all nice one for having this great idea in the first place and then doing it people!
as for the guards..yes v we have his name. as for publishing it here on indymedia if that's what you're asking us to do, what action to take will be discussed at our de-briefing, there are other people involved in the issue surrounding this incident to consider.
its worth noting we didn't have interference from the regular guards on the day even though we were expecting some. we did have one quite shocking incident with a garda in an 'armed response unit ' vehicle who, when approached by a campaigner with a leaflet quite aggressively refused to take it, and when said campaigner then left the leaflet on the bonnet of the vehicle, the garda lost control of himself with rage shouting and getting white in the face...these guys are armed, people, and they are on a hair trigger
later on in the cycle a motorist lost control of herself with road rage and ran over one of the groups' bicycles, with the rider still on it but luckily unhurt, causing 180 euros worth of damage and not even so much as apologising for attempting to kill someone, in fact was full of righteous indignation at being told her insurance would have to pay, and was more interested in whether her bumper had a dent than if she had hurt the cyclist because she thought she had a right to run over a bicycle who wouldn't get out of the way of her car.
well this is what we're here for, not only to highlight environmental issues but also the mental issues arising from abuse of power on every level
great cycle though lads and good luck and love for the rest of your trip, see you in Rossport!
Welcome to all cyclists from Merthyr and Madrid and everyone else joyning the group from Ireland!!
We are looking forward to seeing you all in Gort with that vibrant energy!

BP's 'Top Kill' attempt to tame their blowout has failed.Still no accurate figures to quantify.Seems to fluctuate from BP's 1000 barrels a day up to some academic estimates of up to 100,000.Estimating another two months for their next shot in the dark to hopefully have effect.Lets hope Obama has the cojones to use this shit to put manners on the oilygarchs.Doubtful.Meantime the mainstream is studiously avoiding the flotilla to Gaza.
