“The White House ‘They Walk Among Us’ video is a satirical cartoon, echoing the tropes of a time when the infiltrators were linguistically and facially indistinguishable from the general population. But, directed at migrants today, it serves the same purpose as the McCarthyite rhetoric of the 1940s and 1950s. Both seek to dehumanise alleged enemies within by claiming that, despite how they looked, acted and behaved, they were not really people at all”

#Dogwhistle = Hundepfeife bzw. unterschwellige, versteckte Kommunikation über bestimmte Begriffe, die erstmal sehr harmlos klingen für Unwissende (zB "states rights" in den USA als Code für Segregation Schwarzer Menschen = stark rassistischer Code). Vgl. Fall #Goldwater (extremistischer Republikaner, Vorreiter dieser Kommunikation).

To take up the cudgels on behalf of the category "AI" is not helpful in the conversation, when the term itself misrepresents what the software can and can not do and when it is a dog whistle for fascist tech-bros.
