Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

From a technical perspective, I don't really know how to let it track specific users. The goal is that if some AI vendor provides their key, it is easy for them to prove that their AI produced the text. So I guess if a user wanted to show that they generated the text, they could prove it. But usually AI users don't want people knowing that they used the slop cannon. In any case, Anthropic's own announcement states that their watermark does not contain identifying information for users.
In any case, some proud AI users are now frightened that there might be a way for people to identify that they use such a wonderful tool. How will I ever deliver low quality slop for my contracts now?
Gee, if only there were some way to create code that doesn't raise questions about authorship. Some sort of skill that people could learn that allowed them to deliver code to their clients that complied with their policies...
