I would be very surprised if that would be the case. Maybe you mean deepfake content generated by organized crime or state actors, but that surely is a tiny fraction of what's being generated on Grok or other platforms.

Long-form content from controlled providers is by far the lion's share of what needs this regulation, at least at the moment. Perfect is the enemy of good enough. Or at least of better than the status-quo.

You generate it with that particular AI and look for the watermark :/

Yeah, they also outlawed murder. And stealing. And bribing officials. All universally unenforceable. Weird...

Well, consider the case with murder: they're not demanding that people proactively implement a system to prevent it from happening, are they? You're just not allowed to do it, in the sense that the system will attempt to find you, prove your guilt, and punish you after the fact.

I imagine it would be the same for making (use of) models which don't add these watermarks, no? The punishable crime is providing or using the service.

> they're not demanding that people proactively implement a system to prevent it from happening, are they?

What do you think a "background check" is?


Definitely not murder prevention

That's absolutely what they are. That and other crimes. That's why they're mandatory, by law, in certain industries. That's _precisely_ why we started using them: to prevent the easily preventable.

I suppose this logic stands in the way of a corporation getting what it wants and so it's automatically offensive to the HN "job seeking" crowd; however, even a basic reading of the history shows it's completely true.


There are various systems meant to (attempt to) prevent it from happening, yes, from firearms laws to police forces

But picking out murder and ignoring the other ones which are far more analogous to the regulations mentioned seems a bit disingenuous...


> Formulating theories is all nice and dandy, but it ain't science.

Formulating theories ain't the whole of science, but it's a big part of it.


It could be that they live in an area with more variable or more unpredictable weather than you. Or that they are much more outdoorsy. Or something else altogether. I'm surprised by your surprise. People live wildly different lifes and have correspondingly wide-ranging needs and preferences.

Aqua Voice does (at least some of) that as well.

If you'd write the code yourself, you'd be much more likely to remember to handle those cases as well.


Some very bright Jetbrains folks were able to solve most of those issues. Check out their MPS IDE [1], its structured/projectional editing experience is in a class of its own.

They must be, I can't imagine they're all on Android. I'm on iOS and didn't know there was an issue with the keyboard. Maybe it's because I've not tried out any competing ones or maybe because I don't type that much on the phone generally.
