Comment on GOG apologizes for emailing people Nazi symbols
gerryflap@feddit.nl 3 days agoI was assuming that they used that wheel symbol as a stand-in for the black sun symbol that the Nazis also used. But I also wonder if it’s just AI and some very dumb people. The AI might have encountered these symbols in training on some weird occult neo nazi forums or something, and when prompted to generate some cool runes, it out these in. Either that or the person who did this knows exactly what they’re doing and just pretends to have made a mistake.
GOG is Polish right? I’d expect better of them, the SS symbol should be commonly known. There’s no way this should’ve gotten past multiple people, it’s inexcusable

Unfortunately, the double koppa as a Nazi symbol is neither new or rare, esspecially relative to the fequency of other patterns of symbols. Seeing as LLMs just output common text, its unsuprising that this would be among the results.
Thats the trick. Has GOG gone so far downhill that they publish unreviewed AI output, is it that the company hired a Nazi and put him in a global marketing role with zero oversight, or does the company have a more widespead Nazi problem?
None of the possibilities here are good, and the fact that the apology doesn’t even try to address any of these seems even worse.
