This is getting stupid. It's like saying "we checked your travel time and we suspect you didn't walk under your own power for the entire journey". Who gives a fuck?

By Anthropic's description, if I write thousands of words of my own work and ask Claude to check for any spelling mistakes, and Claude says "one typo, you wrote CIa instead of CIA, fixed" what comes back has the watermark.

NOBODY KNOWS what Copilot apps they're using. Microsoft Copilot? Microsoft 365 Copilot? Copilot chat (available to Microsoft 365 subscribers)? Microsoft Copilot Studio? Github Copilot? Microsoft Copilot for iPhone?

How did Microsoft blow this? It had everything it needed to be number one in everything to do with AI, and now its only users are people who don't have a choice.

I understand it was a problem before Trump, maybe before Trump was born.
You're correct, but the issue is he's doing the exact opposite of what would be needed to do to improve that situation.

Job cuts *excused* by AI, mostly. Still, given that this is the trend, shareholders will likely punish firms that don't do "AI" layoffs.

Are the first, and most vocal, to remind everyone that web sites are private platforms, not free-speech zones, and the operators are entitled to enforce any rules they want within the limits of the law.
