This is not a “watermark,” it is a minor shift of statistical probability. Whether content contains that “shift” will be “measured” using more AI-based tools that will flag sentence structures that hew toward faintly less common word selections.

We need AI companies to shut the fuck down. We do not need theatrics designed to deceive the populace into thinking this is not akshually a great filter moment while false positives and ponzy-scheme AI buildout harm those of us who want nothing to do with these tech-bro beatified lorem ipsum regurgitators.

Don’t fall for the theatrics. This is not at all what they are trying to bill it.

They’re invisible, they survive copying, and they work because they don’t live in the characters at all. They live in the choices between words.

So it is yet another way for AI to falsely hurt neurodivergent people over their writing styles and word choices.

Fuck AI.

If you cannot control the software on the device — including the OS — then you never bought it. You paid for it, but you did not buy it and therefore do not own it.

“Security” is the go-to excuse for every atrocity under capitalism.

I will start asking creators I support to switch to Ko-fi.

Since this article is being cross-posted, I will reiterate my original response.

The part that bothers me isn’t the specific ban on LLM projects, or the specific ban on cryptocurrency projects. It’s that a hub built around “free software” is now telling its users which kinds of software are deemed good and which are not, and that is closer to censorship than it might seem.

What a stupid, ignorant, harmful take. I shouldn’t need to explain how or why theft, plagiarism, poor code quality, or uncountable other factors contribute to a broadly objective standard of “good” and “not good.” In fact, it is more “acceptable” versus “dangerous.”

The false equivalence here is intolerable.
