Are people on twitter okay? They're having a meltdown over watermarks. This tech came out in 2022. PEOPLE BORN IN 2022 are four years old. How have you guys already lost the ability to write??? 🫪

People are arguing that everyone will move to open weights models. As someone who uses those at work: good fucking luck with that. #writing #ai

I always knew this era of AI slop was going to end. But I always thought it would be pricing issues or something. Still never thought it'd be this way. Good luck telling people the fucking meta data is wrong. That's not a thing btw.

What this means for AI writers & designers: You wanted to call yourself a writer/designer while having AI-generated the work? Cool. Now your "work" will carry receipts. Have fun explaining the process to the rest of us as tho we don't do that AND write/design ourselves

No more accusing writers and artists based on a percentage pulled out of an algorithm’s ass.

Sura 🌙✨ @athistleinthewind.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

What this means for us: AI detection will finally move away from unreliable detectors that often unfairly say your work is AI-written. If major AI companies (ChatGPT already does something similar for generated images) adopt this standard, we’ll have actual provenance built into AI-generated work.

WTITERS & DESIGNERS! Amazing news from Claude: all new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in generated text and supported images/files will carry metadata identifying them as AI-generated. #writing #authorsky #booksky

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society
