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.

Europe?s Days of Carbon Colonialism are Numbered Fri Sep 19, 2025 09:00 | Tilak Doshi
The delusional EU believes it can wield carbon tariffs as weapons. But its grandiloquent Net Zero scheme is destined to collapse under the weight of the bloc's utter economic irrelevance, says Tilak Doshi.

We Shouldn?t Welcome Right-Wing Cancel Culture Thu Sep 18, 2025 19:00 | Noah Carl
The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

Where is the outrage at the continuance of Diplock? When are we going to see SF out on the streets demanding an end to this disgrace? When is Mac Lochlainn and the others going to come clean about their acceptance of Raytheon in Derry?
Has anyone heard what happened to the Raytheon 9 / 10?
I haven't heard anythin on the news.
I suppose the corporate driven legal system have been influenced by the big boys in raytheon to put the whole thing back yet again and make them wait and suffer even more.
Don't think anyone gives a s**t any more to be honest Jamie.
Supporting the R9 now seems to be more of a social event as most of the interest around the R9 involves people going out and getting pissed and listening to live bands. People are more concerned with indulging their own selfish interests than supporting people who face going to jail because they stood up and fought for their convictions.
The general public are a bunch of fickle b*****ds.

hi is it just me or i am the only guy in derry that knows du pont and a lot of shirt factorys over the years supplied all type of goods to this industry

Go to the website: no info on when the next court date is, what is happening and there was very little (re)advertisment of last weeks court date, and then you have people coming on giving out no one was there, only the arrested know this info they need to tell people same with all court hearings in simliar cases.

Ah, Derry City Council, when it comes to a fight between right and wrong, big and small, the ordinary people against big business, they'll always back those with the money.
First of all, Derry Anti War Coalition had decided not to try to get crowds outside the court on 23rd November as the 9 are being returned for 'mention' in court every 4-6 weeks and people cannot keep taking time off work. The court appearance on the 23rd was another routine appearance with no new information coming out of it about when the trial might be . The prosecution said that it wasn't ready to proceed yet as it had not had a chance to view the CCTV footage. Yet I had been shown the CCTV footage when I was questioned at the end of Oct - so it does seem that one arm of the state doesn't know what the other arm has available to it!
As we understand it, there be some indication at the next court appearance - on 4th January - as to what the final charges will be, whether they are likely to charge me, and when the trial is likely to be. But then again, there may not! Just as soon as we have any news on the charges or a trial date it will be on the website www.raytheon9.org.
We are getting wonderful support from activists across Ireland (and the world) and we really appreciate it. Various Dublin branches of the Irish Anti War Movement have raised over 1,000 euro over the last three weeks and Galway Anti War Alliance raised 400 euro. This money was mainly used to send four of the nine to Lebanon to gather evidence and find witnesses who can help us explain why it was necessary to take the action we did, when we did.
A big thanks to all for your solidarity.
Yeah short memory span but you see a great deal of people from Derry work in or have connections to Du Pont and the companies you describe and they have put bread on the table in Derry for years. People would not dare start a campagin against them as it would upset too many people in Derry. Lets face it if they did not speak out against these companies at the height of the troubles when they were producing materials and equipment for the british forces of occupation then they are hardly going to start now. Raythen is a soft target because they employ a few people (many of them English I am told) and they have not been ingrained in Derry long enough to have a lot of the local populace dependant on them. Still I suppose we have to start somewhere.
Can we not be a little more positive people. Lets not forget that these people may go to jail for their convictions. They knew that before they raided the weapons factory and it did not stop them. The least we can do now is remain positive for them as I am sure this is a difficult time for them with the threat of going to prison hanging over them.
look as most familes come to christmass and as they see ex paramillitary guys in with the 9 they ask them selfs is there any point in becomming associated with this bunch as they have waged war on there own town
so answer me this are they as they say antiwar or only when it far away and not in town
David
I think you'll find they're anti-british David. Raytheon work for the british mod so its only natural that Republican terrorists get involved in the anti-Raytheon movement. Unfortunately this has had a negative effect for the protestors who are actually are anti-war as they are now viewed in the same light as the ejits who still destroy this country and terrorise its people. Yeah I know, its pretty f****d up.
Ah, but you'll find Kev, as with Sinn Feign, that yesterday's anti-british Republicans are today's pro-british Republicans. The dissident IRAs will surely find that a corrupt leadership is like leprosy, it can loose you your arms.
Anti-war does not mean that you have to be against all war but only certain wars. The anti-war of the Raytheon 9 is against the wars waged by the British and their Allies like the Americans in Ireland and around the world. And any other country that thinks it has the right to invade another country for the purpose of exploiting its resources or for some sort of gain. Just because some of the Raytheon 9 are members of the Real IRA does not mean they are any less devoted to peace than people who who refuse to take up arms and fight. They took up arms to bring peace to an occupied and divided country. The Real IRA are fighting the British to get them out of Ireland where they have no right to be. If the British had not invaded our country then they would not have had to take up the armed struggle. Therefore the memers of the Raytheon 9 who have taken up arms to free their country are trying to end the war started by the British so they are anti-war. If you do not believe in them then do us all a favour and go live in England. And take Adams and the rest of the sellouts with you.
