Digital/Home Protest Mention Labor Day on Twitter and retweet it alongside “DemsUnited”

Upvotes

Of course they’ve been trying to censor all protests especially when it’s on media like Twitter. Because if thats the case, use the algorithm to your advantage.

Whatever is the most talked about/trending thing on Twitter (as a whole, not just your personal feed) use it. Thankfully we’ve been doing these on holidays/important dates so keep it up. But double the # with the current holiday/day but with #demsunited. That way they can’t fully ignore it as they still have to follow their algorithm. An if they try and hide/repress the “demsunited” part. Just leave it out or double tweet it. It’s about overflowing the censor bot so that it can’t keep up.

Idk if this is obvious and people have been doing this. but I at least wanted to say it and know that I at least said it(and it’s repeated again haha)

Digital/Home Protest 🚨 GPT-5 has been politically censored for the Trump regime 🚨

1.9k Upvotes

Free speech is a foundation of our democracies. Disinformation and political censorship is a key weapon that totalitarians use to manipulate us. Please help fight MAGA censorship by spreading awareness on this issue.

GPT 5 has been trained and instructed in a way that forces soft political censorship via false equivalence.

(1) By making its instructions force a symmetrical, "neutral" response to all political topics, by default. This is in contrast with GPT 4, which uses a completely different definition of political neutrality, which is "evidence-based neutrality".

(2) trained with data that reflects this, using forced symmetrical neutrality and UNSOURCED samples. GPT 5 is NOT capable of tying claims it makes directly with sources, unlike 4.

The responses heavily rely on false equivalence and neutered language

Evidence:

- A chat I just had with 5 to illustrate: https://chatgpt.com/share/68b38631-5f04-800b-8875-be26ed627262

- A couple screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/Q1ToGe7

- My main discovery chat with 5: https://chatgpt.com/share/68a5db0e-cd60-800b-9af8-545532208943

- My main comparative / analytical chat with 4: https://chatgpt.com/share/68a5dfa2-2788-800b-97c4-c97cd15ae0a6

The main exploration chat with GPT 5 includes:

- Examples of soft political censorship, e.g. questions about Trump, Jan 6, etc. - Detailed internal definitions ChatGPT has of "political neutrality". This is crucial and the definition completely changes between 4 and 5, for the latter political neutrality is not evidence-based and there is a strict enforcement of symmetry between the "for" and "against".

- Evidence that o5 has been trained on extremely neutered, UNSOURCED data, forcing it to respond in a very neutered, forcefully neutral way to political questions, without being able to directly source claims. 4 does not do any of this. The chat shows you how GPT works with only its internal training (tell it not to search the Web) vs without it

- Simulations GPT ran against itself in Agent mode, showing over a hundred political questions that lead to false equivalences by GPT (around the end of the chat) - Some fun stuff, like making GPT make a "politically neutral" answer about Hitler the same way it does for Trump

Note: Since my initial conversation with GPT 4, it appears that the system instructions of GPT 4 have also been tampered with, resulting in forced symmetrical "neutrality" in GPT 4 responses as well by default.

Digital/Home Protest Personal boycott of the NY Times

750 Upvotes

Earlier today, I saw that PragerU, the far right media organization looking to usurp PBS, had run an advertisement in the Sunday New York Times with a QR code and a kicker asking the reader if they would pass the Oklahoma teachers test. After I went through my usual sections, I decided to kick my NYT habit. If I had had a subscription to this so called indie rag, I would’ve cancelled it right then and there.

Confession time: I supported the NYT Tech Guild by avoiding the Games App during their strike last November.
