In this episode I get into AI watermarking, starting with Claude's new invisible watermark and Substack's "Scan for AI text" feature with Pangram. I break down the EU AI Act rules driving this, how OpenAI, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, and xAI are (or aren't) handling it, and my thoughts as to the actual motives behind why companies are rolling out these changes.
