The UK's Labour government is so authoritarian it declared Palestine Action a terrorist organisation (for opposing genocide) a year before Trump did.

If you need an indication of how divorced the ‘mainstream’ media is from reality, consider this: the possibility of at least 4 billion deaths resulting from 3 degrees Celsius of global warming by 2050 made barely a dent in news headlines.

Follow-Up Thoughts on Watermarking Schemes for AI-Generated Text
I want the answers that I read to be cogent, lucid, accurate, blessedly terse — and ideally to strike a consistent tone that is pleasant to my reading ear. The genie is not going back in the bottle.

A lot has been said recently about watermarking plain text, which allow AI labs to act as AI detectors. And there are already non-watermark ways of detecting AI output (e.g. Pangram). I think all of these are a bad idea. blog.keyvan.net/p/ai-detecto...

It’s unacceptable for a tool to sacrifice an iota of clarity, coherence, meaning, quality, etc. for the purpose of embedding hidden clues within the text to suggest its provenance.

Anthropic’s ‘Watermark’ Text Adulteration in Claude Is a Perversion of Writing
It’s unacceptable for a tool to sacrifice an iota of clarity, coherence, meaning, quality, etc. for the purpose of embedding hidden clues within the text to suggest its provenance. The idea that anything other than *my* needs should factor into the generation of text *for me* is patently offensive.
