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.

Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist Sat Sep 20, 2025 09:00 | Hannes Sarv
It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

The ?Far Left? Finally Gets Its Comeuppance Sat Sep 20, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander

The Dublin and British governments do their best to convince the world that there are no political prisoners today in Irish or British jails. We, of course, know that that's not the case. Not only should we remember them but their families as well. What if we all wrote into our local newspapers on that topic? We know that to the mainstream press, there are no political prisoners! A few well placed letters to the editor could only increase awareness in the general population.
Remember the Republican prisoners , especially at Christmas time.

Hi all !
I posted information regarding the Christmas Swim in the 'Events' section of this site
(http://www.indymedia.ie/article/79923) and would just like to add that John , from the 'Weblog' mentioned below , has attended 29 such outings and will be present this December 25th for the 30th event .
It has in the past drawn crowds of about 200 people (from toddlers on their first trike out with their parents to pensioners who are no doubt fed-up with screaming grandkids in their house!) regardless of the weather , and , hopefully , will do so again this year !
If you are out walking in the area , do drop by - if you are driving past that particular canal bridge , sound your car horn in support !
Thank You ,
Sharon .
Cabhair - Irish Republican Prisoners Dependants Fund
Cabhair is a charitable organisation, solely dependant on public subscriptions. It was established in early 1987, following the revolutionary / reformist split in the republican movement, for "the relief of cases of distress arising out of republican activity".
Immediately followimg the Ard-Fheis of Sinn Féin in 1986 when the Provisionals departed from the Republican road a number of Irish political prisoners in England, the Six Counties and the 26 Counties adhered to the revolutionary path and refused to accept support from the Provisionals.
To meet this pressing need CABHAIR was formed and has continued with this noble work. Prisoners that they have cared for have been released on completion of sentence and others have gone to prison. At no time since 1987 have no prisoners been in CABHAIR's care. As long as British rule continues in Ireland, Irish people will resist that foreign occupation and, unfortunately, there will be political prisoners.
CABHAIR currently supports Republican prisoners in Portlaoise prison in the 26 Counties and Maghaberry prison in the Six Occupied Counties.
AID APPEAL FOR REPUBLICAN PRISONERS
Donations can be sent to :
CABHAIR - Irish Republican Prisoners Dependants Fund
223 Parnell Street,
Dublin 1.
Ireland.
the provo ogra statement was about prisoners aligned to the provos, i posted about the cabhair christmas swim, cabhair supports prisoners affiliated with the republican movement.
I saw this on yahoo newsgroup and its good to see that Republican prisoners still have support stateside:
Every Christmas morning a swim is held in Dublin, it is held to raise
funds for the dependants of Republican prisoners. They have a
bonfire, music playing, food, etc and many people come to watch and
take part. It's become a Christmas tradition for many Dublin
Republican families.
This year is also the swims 30th anniversary! On the IRBB (
http://admin2.7.forumer.com/index.php ) a member/poster on there
named "Kat" has started an open ended donation drive to help support
this worthy cause. It started when she pledged $20 USD for every
member of the IRBB who swam, other members have pledged to match her
donation and so far the ante is up to $140 USD per swimmer. After the
swim, those who has taken part will send on their donations to the
National Irish Freedom Committee ( www.irishfreedom.net ) , who raise
funds for Cabhair in America. If you are a member of the IRBB, even
if you have never posted before,when you get a chance read the thread
titled " CABHAIR Christmas swim -30 years underwater" and hopefully
you too will want to get involved in helping alleviate just some of
the finacial burden of prisoners families this holday season!
Are you only talking about IRA Sinn Fein Prisoners?
First CABHAIR Christmas day swim held in 1976 !
Sponsored swim to raise funds for the family and dependants of Irish Republican prisoners .
On Christmas day next at 12 noon , sponsored swimmers will , once again , swim at least two widths each of the Grand Canal at Inchicore , Dublin , in an event which has been held since 1976 !
The swim will take place beside the bridge opposite the Blackhorse Inn (Kellys) Pub , and is organised by CABHAIR , the Irish Republican prisoners dependants fund organisation : music , fire , food and drink will be supplied by the organisers and all are welcome
