One example of this is [...] the new proposed (but not yet approved) Boost website. This is located at boost.io and I’m not going to turn that into a clickable link, and that’s because this proposed website brings with it a new logo. [...] This logo features a Nazi dog whistle. The Nazi SS lightning bolts. 

    The thing about dog whistles like this is that you can feign ignorance or act like someone is seeing something that isn’t there, but for something egregious it’s very hard to defend it in this case.

    Of course, there’s other political dog whistles out there in the tech world right now. Justine Tunney named her C library, cosmopolitan5, which I personally believe is named after the term Rootless Cosmopolitan. This is a pejorative Soviet epithet which was used primarily during Joseph Stalin’s antisemitic campaign in the late 40s and early 50s. This is obviously much harder to prove6 as Justine has done a very good job of deleting some very eyebrow raising tweets over the years, even having them scrubbed from The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine [...]

    Justine, unfortunately, doesn’t appear to have made any amends either, at least publicly, or even acknowledged her past behavior, though she is more than happy to reference her time in the Occupy Wall Street movement. These days however, she’s busy working on llamafiles for Mozilla. For those of you not in the know, a llamafile is basically for turning an LLM’s weights into an executable. 

It's a massive post though. Right now I am an hour in and probably about 75% done and I am skipping most of the linked articles. Except for the Ender's game parts. I highly recommend those.
