I'm not sure I've ever noticed a swastika in a QR code before, but I guess better safe than sorry.
bombcar•46m ago
If this exists then logically the inverse can be made …
disillusioned•28m ago
Surprised Grok hasn't already incorporated an "ensure Swastikas are buried in any QR codes we generate" skill into the model...
jdalgetty•45m ago
I bet we wont be able to stop seeing them after reading this.

Like the FedEx arrow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
Razengan•45m ago
Why not reclaim the original usage of the swastika instead of perpetuating the taint?

In Asian nations people who have never heard of the Nazis still use the swastika.

Do the version of "your parents using slang" to make it uncool

simonw•36m ago
Because you'd need to re-educate hundreds of millions of people, and it's a pretty weak message: "this symbol of hatred and genocide has other meanings, too!"

... and you'll be playing into the hands of people who want to get a swastika tattoo and then pretend they didn't mean any harm by doing so.

daneel_w•32m ago
Yeah that sounds like a really sound rationale. It's only far more than a billion people to whom the symbol has a powerful and positive meaning. Let's completely ignore that and say that the 80 year old Western perspective is a lot more important.
vlian2088•31m ago
those people are far less numerous than you seem to believe. also, the current far right is not particularly fond of tattoos.
Razengan•30m ago
There was a time when pentagrams and tattoos of SATAN were edgy and controversial

Now it's "ehh"

snypher•42m ago
I'd like to see one that stops accidental generation of strings like 'nakba'.
GlacierFox•30m ago
Right on! I generated one the other day that said 'Oct7'. I'll put it on a hat for you if you like.
jojobas•42m ago
Now do swastika enforcer.
daneel_w•41m ago
Article makes no mention of what 900+ million Hindus may feel about the whole thing. It's possible the author doesn't even know what the swastika is, or that he is willfully ignorant because "Indians and Asians live somewhere else".
simonw•36m ago
It isn't hurting Hindus to run code that ensures a QR code doesn't include that sequence of squares.
daneel_w•27m ago
The unilateral West-first perspective is a problem.

How about using the term Hakenkreuz or something similar to represent the anti-semitic meaning and stop appropriating the term Swastika? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
disillusioned•29m ago
For the very obvious reason that the percentage of population aware of what the term Hakenkreuz means is literal orders of magnitude smaller than those familiar with the term Swastika?

I mean, feel free to run a "taking Swastika back" information campaign, but also, you know, good luck.
