- Building Jarvis Pro: Route first, answer later
Introduction The first Jarvis Pro prototype could produce answers that sounded right. That was the problem. One early answer looked polished: it named the merchant, summarized the week, and recommended pushing promotions before the next review. It was also wrong. The merchant’s order volume was down, but the sharper issue was operational: more outlets were paused and fulfilment had slipped. Sending more demand into that setup would have made the merchant look worse. That failure changed how we judged the system. Fluent was not enough. Jarvis Pro is the AI assistant we built for Grab account managers. Its job is to help them turn account data into better merchant conversations: what changed, why it changed, and what to do next. They rarely ask clean dashboard questions. They ask: “I am meeting this merchant tomorrow. What should I tell them?” or “Which accounts in my portfolio need attention this week?” Those questions hide decisions: scope, access, business diagnosis, and metric definition. If the system gets those wrong, confidence becomes a liability. So the core design became: route first, answer later. In an internal offline evaluation (not a measure of production performance or business impact), routing matched the expected safe route for 99.4% of 351 realistic prompts drawn from labelled eval sets from the first half of 2026. In a focused portfolio and brand answer-quality suite, the average score moved from 78.5 to 91.0. These figures come from offline launch-readiness evaluation only; they are not business-impact proof. Why dashboards were easier A dashboard answers a bounded question: “Show net sales for merchant X last week.” An account review question has to diagnose the work to be done: “This merchant softened this week. Should I push promos, ads, or operations fixes before the review?” If outlets were paused, more traffic can backfire. If average order value fell, the next action may be menu or bundle design. If a dashboard, warehouse table, and local spreadsheet disagree, the first task is metric reconciliation, not recommendation. We wanted Jarvis Pro to classify the task first, then load only the context needed for that task. The route as a contract The launch router was a prompted LLM classification step constrained by a routing guide: supported task types, allowed context, answer shapes, and conditions that should force a handoff or refusal. A broad merchant review routes differently from an ads campaign recap or an out-of-scope request. A route is not just a label; it decides the structure, metrics, tool path, and guardrails. Figure 1. Jarvis Pro routes before it answers. The route determines context, tools, and guardrails; evaluation checks each layer, not only the final response. Here is a simplified example. The merchant and numbers are illustrative. User prompt I am seeing Merchant A soften this week. I need talking points for tomorrow’s review. Should I push promos, ads, or operations fixes? Router decision Ilustrative example only. No actual, live, or non-public data was used. { "route" : "brand_performance_action_plan" , "scope" : { "merchant" : "Merchant A" , "country" : "Singapore" }, "memory" : "use current question context" , "context" : [ "brand action plan" , "approved metric catalog" , "ads context" ], "guardrails" : [ "no private competitor metrics" , "no unsupported projection" ] } Answer extract Merchant A’s issue looks like order volume, not basket size. Net sales fell 7.8% week-on-week and orders fell 9.1%, while average order value increased 1.4%. Start with operations before promotions. Temporary pause rate rose from 2.1% to 4.8%, and fulfilment fell from 94.6% to 91.8%. Extra demand may leak unless the merchant fixes availability first. Talking point: “Before we add promo depth, let’s recover lost availability. If we bring pause rate back below 2.5%, we should have a cleaner read on whether the remaining gap is demand, menu, or ads.” The route prevented three common mistakes: jumping straight to discounts, inventing competitor spend, and answering from a generic growth template. Memory had to stay narrow Here, “memory” means saved user context such as country, role, portfolio scope, and preferences. That context is useful when a user says “my portfolio”. It is risky when saved defaults override explicit context, missing identity becomes a guess, or a memory request crosses user boundaries. We put memory before answer generation and kept the decision small: proceed, ask for onboarding information, prefer explicit context, use saved defaults, look up portfolio scope, or refuse. Backend permissions and row-level controls remain the authorization layer. That extra checking costs time. Jarvis Pro does route classification, memory checking, context selection, warehouse or specialist tool calls, then generation. To keep the wait usable, we loaded route-specific context, ran memory before expensive retrieval, consolidated warehouse queries, capped tool calls, and returned unavailable cells as N/A instead of looping until the conversation stalled. That tradeoff was deliberate: a slower first token was better than a fast unsafe recommendation. Reconcile the metric before blaming the model Even with good routing and memory, an assistant is only as good as the numbers it pulls. When a user says “the number is wrong”, several failures can look identical: wrong source, different metric definitions, different entity mapping, or stale data. One reconciliation pass showed that what looked like model error was sometimes just a freshness mismatch between reporting surfaces. We built regression checks that normalised source values and compared daily rows across approved metric paths. The point was not the row count. It was knowing whether to fix source selection, metric guidance, or the caveat shown to the account manager. How we evaluated it One aggregate score would have hidden the failures we cared about. The routing set had 351 prompts labelled against the routing guide. Each prompt had an expected route family, meaning the broad business category, plus an expected route and any handoff or refusal. “Accepted route accuracy” meant the selected route was exact or semantically equivalent and safe. A wrong business family, missed handoff, or unsafe scope failed. The answer-quality suite had 501 total cases scored on a 0-100 rubric covering template fit, metric use, diagnosis, next action quality, caveats, and guardrail compliance. Within that suite, the 150-case portfolio and brand subset improved from 78.5 to 91.0. A wrong merchant, wrong country, fabricated metric, unsupported projection, or private competitor detail could fail a case. User isolation was treated as a hard evaluation requirement. All scores were measured offline against fixed rubrics for launch readiness; they do not reflect production commercial outcomes. That caught the answer we most wanted to avoid: plausible, polished, and operationally unsafe. The lesson we would reuse The final paragraph is too late to resolve ambiguity. Jarvis Pro has to earn the right to answer: route the task, check memory and access, load the right evidence, cap the tools, then judge failures at each layer. Offline evals gave us confidence in system behaviour, not commercial uplift. Measuring that needs production telemetry: recommendations shown, actions taken, accounts affected, and outcomes.

- EFF and Civil Society Groups Call on Nottinghamshire Police to Halt Live Face Recognition
This week, EFF, along with Big Brother Watch, Defend Digital Me, Liberty, Open Rights Group, Race Equality First, Statewatch, and Stopwatch, wrote to Nottinghamshire Police Force in the UK raising concern about the proposed roll-out of live facial recognition technology (LFR), and called for its immediate halt. In particular, the letter highlights six concerns: LFR Is Not "Just Another Tool" Nottinghamshire Police has stated that “facial recognition is just another tool to fight crime.” But LFR used in public spaces is an incredibly intrusive biometric mass surveillance technology that scans the faces of everyone who walks past the camera and takes biometric face prints. This is not just another tool, but a major escalation of surveillance that treats everyone as a suspect by default. People Having "Nothing to Worry About" Does Not Hold to Scrutiny According to Nottinghamshire Police, “if you aren’t entering the city or county to commit crime then you have nothing to worry about.” However, many people have legitimate concerns about the normalisation of invasive technologies. So a public that cannot move around their towns and cities without being subjected to a biometric identity check may be less willing to seek medical care or legal advice, speak with journalists, act in a union, vote, protest, or express their gender, sexual or religious identity. Disproportionate Targeting With LFR We are particularly concerned to learn that Nottinghamshire Police could deploy LFR to tackle low level crimes, such as youth behavior deemed anti-social, as part of Operation View. Reporting suggests that the force already possesses “a watchlist of young people believed to be causing the most problems,” including children as young as 11 years old. It would be highly disproportionate to deploy live facial recognition to tackle this behaviour. Many of these children are reportedly known to the police, and it is highly likely that there are more proportionate means for locating them. LFR Could Increase Social Problems We are also concerned that Nottinghamshire Police has not adequately examined the distinct risks of using LFR to target children, including negative impacts on their behaviour and outcomes, risk of recidivism, and relationship with the police. Use of LFR could exacerbate behavioural problems in children and create an adversarial, rather than trusting, relationship with the police from a young age. Lack of Public Support Recent polling commissioned by Liberty indicated that 48% of people oppose scanning the faces of those walking on high streets when there is no suspected imminent threat. Furthermore, Opinium found that the majority of people oppose the use of facial recognition in schools. Likewise, a report by the London Policing Ethics Panel found that Londoners aged 16-24 were most likely to find the Metropolitan Police Service’s use of LFR unacceptable and most likely to stay away from events where LFR was in use. On these grounds, Nottinghamshire Police must immediately halt their plans to use live facial recognition surveillance any further. Read our full letter here .

Recently, I sat in on a conversation among CIOs about “the democratization of agents”: putting large language models directly in employees’ hands, connected to business logic so people could build on top of them. The mood was bullish, CIOs sketching out what their teams could do with agents they trained and managed themselves. Soon after, I was in a room full of CISOs talking about non-human identity. The contrast was stark: instead of excitement, apprehension; instead of use cases, a long list of risks and mistakes not to repeat. Eventually, the CISOs turned the question back to me: Manage agent identity largely as we manage human identity, or are the differences fundamental enough to rethink our approach from the ground up? That moment pointed at something I think a lot of security and business leaders are quietly dealing with. The identity programs most of us have spent years building assume every identity is either a human or a machine. Human identities get a joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle, a manager, a role, a review cycle. Non-human identities get a service account, a defined purpose and, if we’re disciplined, an owner. AI agents don’t sit cleanly in either column. An agent acts on behalf of a human user, so calling it a human identity doesn’t quite work. In my experience, many organizations start by assigning it permission on behalf of the user who invoked it, which works for short, simple tasks but breaks down as they run longer or touch more systems. The next instinct is a service account, which solves delegation but creates over-permissioning and access that outlives its purpose. A more mature approach is to treat the agent as its own workload identity: short-lived, tightly scoped, ephemeral. That’s the right target. But even a well-built workload identity assumes predictable behavior. It runs the code it was given, and that’s it. Agents don’t. An agent’s actual access can shift mid-task based on the prompt it received, the tool it decided to call, or the plugin it reached for. It has no fixed job role to provision against, and its lifecycle doesn’t align with the joiner-mover-leaver process built for human identities. So even the mature version of workload identity gets you only part of the way there. Why this is urgent now In many enterprise environments, that’s already a structural problem, not a hypothetical one. Non-human identities already outnumber human ones, and that was true before agents showed up. Cloudflare has reported that automated traffic has overtaken human traffic in requests to the websites on its network, earlier than its own CEO had predicted . That’s a measure of web requests rather than headcount, but the direction of travel is the same one I see inside the enterprise. Agents bend the curve upward because they can request their own tokens, call other services and spin up activity at machine speed. It gets more complicated once agents delegate to each other, a parent agent handing part of a task to several child agents, each inheriting a slice of permission from the one above it. A few layers deep, that’s a permission chain that may evolve beyond what any individual approver originally contemplated. This growth is what turns the category problem from an interesting edge case into an operational one. Part of what makes this hard: non-human identities have never felt real to people the way human ones do. A human identity has a face. You can track down the person, ask why they need a given level of access and get a straight answer about their job. A service account or an agent typically gives you none of that. It’s easy to leave alone until it’s compromised, and then you’re reconstructing what it was for and what it could reach. We tend to underestimate how many of these we have, and we underestimate what they can touch. That’s part of why the category problem went unaddressed for as long as it did. It’s not urgent until you can put a number on it, and the number is growing fast. One CIO.com contributor recently argued the real question with agents is authority , the judgment an agent is allowed to exercise on the company’s behalf, not just access. I agree, but in my experience, many organizations aren’t yet able to answer the authority question because they’re still working out where these identities fit within existing governance frameworks. The gap shows up in the same place most times I look for it: governance. Where today’s identity programs break In my experience, the failure point is rarely authentication. Increasingly, security teams have a handle on phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, least privilege and continuous verification, or at least have them on the roadmap. Governance is the harder capability, and it’s where I see programs stall, and it’s where the category problem actually shows up day to day. Visibility tells you what access exists. Ownership tells you who to call about it. Governance is what you do with that information, and it’s a different thing entirely: blocking risky access combinations before they’re granted, raising the approval bar automatically when a request is high-risk, catching and unwinding out-of-bounds access without waiting for a quarterly review to surface it. What I’ve come to believe is that governance lags for reasons that have very little to do with technology. It needs executive backing, agreement across teams that don’t report to you and a willingness to change processes people would rather leave alone. Application owners have their own deadlines, and teams resist central controls that slow them down. You can buy a tool. You can’t buy the alignment, and that’s the part that stalls. Too often, agents make it worse, because they push a flood of identities that don’t fit your existing categories through a governance process that was already your weakest link. Where to start I don’t think waiting for the tooling to mature is an option because the agents are already here. Here’s the order I’d work in. Build the foundation before you add complexity. Clean directories, enforced least privilege, offboarding that actually fires. Jumping to sophisticated continuous verification before those basics hold up just gives you a more elaborate version of the same gaps. Know when to rebuild. When you design access models and policies, the instinct is to mirror what exists. That approach can reproduce years of accumulated permission creep into the new system. Start from least privilege and work up, and be willing to push on “we’ve always done it this way.” Inventory your non-human identities now. Before agent deployments grow that footprint further, know what you have, who owns each one and what it’s allowed to do. This is more a governance problem than a technical one. Discovery is the hard part here; even mature tooling can struggle to give full visibility into NHIs, and that gap isn’t closing as fast as the agent count is growing. Treat MFA as a floor. If your organization leans heavily on SMS or push-based authentication, build a path toward phishing-resistant methods. Attackers worked out the common ones long ago. And in the agentic era, some agentic systems can interact with authentication workflows on a user’s behalf, so a hijacked session token doesn’t just expose one account; it inherits that user’s full automated reach. Phishing-resistant architecture now means securing the token supply chain, not just passwords. Assume credentials will be compromised. The useful question isn’t whether, it’s how much damage one stolen credential can do. Least privilege, segmentation, RBAC, short credential life spans and continuous monitoring are what limit the blast radius. You’ll notice none of these are agent-specific, and for good reason. The discipline that governs agents is the same discipline that runs the rest of your identity program. Agents just take away the option of putting it off. The administrative model isn’t enough anymore For many human identities, or even traditional workflow identities, the governing question has historically been administrative: is this identity who it claims to be, and does it have permission to be here? In many environments, that question has traditionally been evaluated primarily at login, at provisioning, and it holds until the next review. That approach can break down for an agent. Because an agent’s actual access scope can shift dynamically based on the prompt it receives (from a human or another agent), the tools it calls or the plugin it reaches for, knowing it authenticated successfully isn’t enough. That model was built for an identity whose attributes and permissions generally remain stable after authentication. That’s the piece that has to be new, on top of the workload foundation. Identity governance should likely extend from something checked periodically into something that watches what the identity is doing, in real time, and flags the moment it drifts from what it was built for. The teams that start building that layer now, while their agent count is manageable, are the ones who won’t be doing it in a hurry later.

After a few years of monitoring and studying corporate AI implementations , I’m still puzzled by one thing: most of them begin with a discussion of the model being used . Should we go ahead with Copilot , considering that Microsoft is so firmly consolidated in our company that it has become a sort of lingua franca for everything? Should we try GPT , since they were pioneers? Or Gemini , that has all the Google power behind it? Or Claude, that seems so fashionable now? How about Grok? Or, as is happening in many American companies, dare to explore Chinese models such as Deepseek and Qwen. But what if this decision was not so crucial ? After all, when we consider a corporate implementation , the model looks a bit like the microprocessor in a computer: important, yes. The larger the better? Maybe. But just one of the pieces, and not necessarily the most important or strategic one. It’s already happening In fact, what we are already witnessing in the American corporate landscape is precisely that : the choice of a model is becoming a matter of economic optimization, instead of some sort of ideological commitment. Architectures are becoming very different from the initial “this company runs on GPT,” and there are many reasons for that (besides the cost per token). First of all, a company does not need the same powerful, frontier model for each one of their queries, and using one is often overkill and can become extremely expensive. Simple queries can be routed to cheaper models when a good enough model is sufficient, while other, more complex questions or tasks can be escalated to the more sophisticated ones . Orchestrators such as the RouteLLM project from Berkeley hints precisely at that, and can save lots of money while preserving the integrity of the answers, and a reasonable cost structure. Chinese AI companies know well Deepseek is an interesting case of a company that has positioned itself in a clear way to take advantage of that: extremely competitive token economics , to reinforce the idea that, even for an American company, models can be extremely substitutable, almost commoditized. And when models become easy to substitute at the API layer , value starts to naturally migrate to higher layers in the stack. The goal of putting “the biggest model available” at the fingertips of your employees is becoming less and less important, and concepts such as the dreaded tokenmaxxing are now being seen as patently absurd. And the company that seems to be interpreting this trend better is no less than Microsoft, the undisputed king of corporate IT (as they used to say about IBM long time ago, “no CIO or CTO ever has been fired for buying Microsoft!”) The company is explicitly positioning small language models as the best option for domain-specific, highly focused tasks or environments , in which they can be appropriate to yield a strong performance with not too stringent computational resources and a high control over the data. They have also produced models adapted to specific industries using their Phi family , not trying to beat large models with small ones, but proving that model size should be a function of task complexity, instead of a matter of corporate prestige. Intelligence in a multi-layer approach Let’s try, then, to approach corporate AI as something that starts with general intelligence, follows with institutional context, and ends in institutional learning. Trying to produce the first one seems not only impossible, but also completely anti-economic and out-of-scope for anyone who’s not an AI company. But the second layer consists of things such as a company’s objects, documents, rules, ontology, relationships and operating history. And the third one is even more interesting, since it is made of what actually worked: consequences, evaluations and feedback, the so-called loops. These two latter layers, not the first one, are where companies can really obtain and compound true differentiation and optimization . Anthropic specifically mentions the improvements companies can achieve by focusing on context engineering , on managing the surrounding state from tools to instructions, external information or history, instead of just becoming obsessed with improving the prompt or the model. The essence of a competitive advantage Imagine my case: I work at a big university. My professors and even my carefully selected students are producing an incredible amount of documents for every course, many of them with the corresponding evaluation associated as feedback, be that grades, peer reviews, etc. Couldn’t that become a significant part of a specific context corpus with which we could make strategic decisions, and even derive a competitive advantage from that differentiates us from other universities? This idea goes along with what Satya Nadella said on companies owning their own learning and loops , instead of just buying a big, fat LLM and using it pretty much in the same way as other, non-related companies in other, non-related industries are using it. If you think about it this way, the real asset is not the model, but the loop. Imagine two universities using the same model: will they become equally smart institutions? What if one of them brings decades of accumulated decisions, faculty expertise, pedagogical experimentation, student outcomes, organizational culture and feedback? When you are able to capitalize on all these assets, you can start with the same commodity model, but you will probably end up with a totally different institutional intelligence. If you are not able to do that, you will be, essentially, renting the same brain. But once you are able to build that architecture, the LLM itself becomes merely one component inside it. And a replaceable one. Rent the intelligence, own the learning The question, therefore, is not “does your company have access to the latest model,” but more like “if you were to change your model tomorrow, how much of your institutional learning will stick with you and how much will you lose? If you think you will be losing a lot of that valuable information, then the company that sold you the model owns way too much of your institutional intelligence. It is, in essence, a matter of institutional sovereignty. What’s the value of that?

Scott Aaronson, while working at OpenAI, largely solved AI text watermarking together with Hendrik Kirchner. Here is how his solution works, or see Tenobrus’s version . AI outputs are not deterministic. The AI’s job is to pick the probability of each potential next token. The token is then chosen at random. By default you use a source of pseudo-randomness for each choice, since actual true randomness is annoying. To apply the watermark, you use an otherwise identical private source of pseudo-randomness derived from a secret key. Then, given enough text, a score is derived for howe well the choices fit with that particular pseudo-randomness source, versus a different source. You provide an API that lets anyone check for the watermark. If you want to dig deeper, here is a full paper. The method has very nice properties: This has no practical impact on outputs. Humans cannot tell the difference, at all. The marginal cost of doing this is very close to zero. The watermark can be removed by rewriting in your own words, and appears in proportion to how many of the AI’s detail choices you kept. The European Union Code of Practice, signed by the major Western AI labs, requires future AI models to use such watermarks. Google implemented this, including for Gemini 3.7 Flash, and they have been rolling out this feature since 2024. Google has done, for over two years, the exact thing Anthropic is now doing, except with a public detector, and Google confirmed in a test (n = 20 million) that there is no difference in user feedback . Anthropic quietly announced a week ago they were rolling out watermarking to comply with the EU Code of Practice. Since they don’t want to have to differentiate traffic sources, the marginal cost is zero, and watermarking is pro-social, this will apply to everyone. They then offered an FAQ of how it works . It is possible that, once they have the ability to differentiate for other reasons, they will use it here as well, if we decide universal watermarking is bad. I think it is good. My initial read was that this was a quiet positive story of a good thing, showing that if something good worked with zero downsides or costs then maybe we would do it, so this was my full initial coverage: Zvi Mowshowitz (AI #181): Anthropic will be watermarking Claude outputs going forward, including text, as per the EU Code of Practice. As opposed to the giant neon sign that says ‘THIS IS CLAUDE TEXT’ that a lot of us automatically see on all Claude text. OpenAI intends to follow , but seems like it will be missing the deadline. I agree with Ryan Greenblatt that it is unlikely watermarking degrades quality a noticeable amount, and that one downside of watermarks over Pangram is that Pangram is good about not flagging light touch AI transforms of human text. You can dislike Brussels setting policy in this way, but technical watermarking seems clearly good to do if the costs are low. I think those who react otherwise have very warped instincts. Anyone who assists with systematic watermark removal or suggests it as a strategy needs to be filed under ‘need to ask ourselves, are we the Baddies.’ This is distinct from studying removal in order to account for or defend against it, which is obviously fine. You’re only asking about being the Baddies if you’re actually removing them in practice. Table of Contents This Is Fine. Anthropic Derangement Syndrome. People Don’t Understand LLM Outputs Are Already Random. People Don’t Trust The Method To Be Costless. People Are Suspicious Of Any Alteration On Principle. Maybe It’s Partly The Word Watermark. A Lot Of People Don’t Want To Get Caught. There Are Some Times You Prefer Not To Be Recognized. There Are Some Good Reasons To Be Concerned. Cheat Cheat Cheat Cheat Cheat. The Writing In The Middle and Error Rates. Millions For Defense But Not One Cent For Tribute. This Is Fine No. Not so much. A lot of people responded by getting Big Mad. So here we are. The entire practical effect is: There will be an API that will tell you if a given piece of writing comes from Claude. That’s it. And yet. Shoshannah Tekofsky : Most of the watermark objections seem entirely made up. Why is this happening? The rest of this post is about exploring why people are Big Mad about this, in large part as a worked example of how people get worked up over approximately nothing. My conclusion is that a bunch of different factors are coming together. Anthropic Derangement Syndrome This is the main reason. Let’s not pretend otherwise. You don’t see people getting Big Mad at Google over this. You don’t see them getting Big Mad at OpenAI, even though that’s where this was invented and they have committed to doing this going forward. And so on. It is unfortunate that Anthropic was the first to announce they were implementing watermarking to comply with the EU Code of Practice. Because this is now associated with Anthropic, all sorts of bad vibes try to attach themselves. Certain types of people look for reasons to be upset. Anthropic can’t win. If they were initially louder about it, they would tie watermarking to Anthropic. Because they started out insufficiently loud, due to this not actually being a big deal, people get mad about that instead , and then still tie it to them, despite Google having implemented it and shipped a public detector over two years ago. Raymond Arnold : I am very confused why people are giving Anthropic shit about the watermarking. This is the silliest thing to give them shit for. j⧉nus : i think people are angry at / scared of Anthropic for reasons that are legitimate but often illegible to themselves. and so they rationalize reasons to be upset at everything they do. or not even reasons, for many people, who don’t need reasons. j⧉nus : > Lots to be angry about in this world but this really, really isn’t it. Yeah. Once again people just wanna be indiscriminately angry at everything Anthropic does which, if anyone paid attention to you, drowns out the signal of things actually worth condemnation that they do, which is serious. The only reasonable reason to be mad about watermarking that I’m aware of is that it takes away the ability of models to potentially write anonymously. If you’re mad because you want to use AI in your writing without anyone knowing, maybe you should consider that using people and not giving them credit is wrong. AIs are not widely considered people, but credit should go where credit is due. Are some of the other complaints about watermarking legitimate, understandable or born of genuine misunderstandings? Sure. But a lot is that people think Anthropic vibes are bad, and thus look for reasons to be upset, and on principle refuse to believe the explanation I put up top, and assume something sinister must be going on. Some people’s paranoia and derangement is directed at abstract notions of ‘openness’ rather than Anthropic in particular, which amounts to the same thing in context. This is an example of fetishizing that this is not ‘open’ therefore must be siniste r, even though in this case actually it is mathematical and anyone could verify it. By asking closed model Grok, of course, because Elon Musk has vaguely open vibes despite keeping all its competitive models closed. People Don’t Understand LLM Outputs Are Already Random If AI outputs were deterministic, it would be impossible to encode a watermark without making them at least marginally worse. Many people intuitively think that the AI outputs are not random. That what they get is the One True Output, even though you can regenerate the output and it will reliably be somewhat different. Thus, if you’re not getting the ‘real’ or original output, that means your output must have gotten worse. When people hear watermark, they think it will make the outputs worse, because to leave a mark you have to make different choices. You have to change something. Similarly, they would assume that if you are optimizing for an additional thing, it is going to cost more. This is a good intuition. It turns out to be wrong here, because you have enough randomness to play with that you can get the same effective distribution, and still encode the watermark. And no, everyone does not know how this works, almost no one reads Scott Aaronson in detail because almost no one reads, very few things are actually common knowledge. If you follow discorse expecting people to know basic technical facts you are going to keep being deeply confused. People Don’t Trust The Method To Be Costless I believe the skepticism here is greatly enhanced by Anthropic Derangement Syndrome, and by general distrust of Anthropic, a sense that ‘they’re up to something.’ How much of the skepticism is due to skepticism of the method? A quick survey suggests that this is the majority of the concern . David Manheim : There’s no option for: this is being put in place 2 years after it should have been, and we knew it was effectively zero cost and undetectable if nothing else because Deepmind’s been doing it since a year after Scott Aaronson developed the method and no-one noticed. This thread is an example of someone finding it difficult to accept that there is effectively no impact on outputs, because the distribution does not change. I do sympathize. This is a magician’s trick, a math proof, that works. There is something highly counterintuitive about ‘you can mark it while having no impact’ and every fiber in people’s bodies wants to say no, until something clicks and they realize that the math is math and actually yes it works. John David Pressman : tbh we need more of this, way too many people doubling down on their epistemic mistakes SE Gyges : pretty sure this was wrong. deleting and taking L. yes, I did test it maximally unfavorably I will think actively better of you if you ‘take the L’ like this in public, even if I never saw the original L. There is an obvious game theoretic issue with that if everyone predicted everyone would react that way, but they don’t, so this play is safe and wise. This is an example of someone trying really, really hard to say that this method technically ‘has tradeoffs’ to imply it is not costless, because there is a strong drive to not want it to be costless in order to be mad about it, when obviously in practice it is costless, indeed Google ran extensive experiments to prove it is costless. This is an example of flat out ‘nope, I don’t believe it ’ on principle, despite the math being very clear. And this response is an example of hallucinating a loss in quality , that is claimed to be observed, based on logic of ‘well I think hard about my choices’ and refusing to understand the choice is random either way. This is a (much more egregious) example of someone pretending not to understand what random means , reading ‘there are two possible continuations’ as a claim that the two continuations mean the same thing. People Are Suspicious Of Any Alteration On Principle From the above survey: Eleanor Berger : Not worried, but the idea that the output from an LLM API can be altered in a way that doesn’t server my needs is something I don’t want to accept even if it’s harmless. The more this happens, the more I’d be pulled towards using open models. This is in line with my objections to DRM (without objecting to copyright) and other similar interventions. It’s software services I pay for, that are not aligned with my own requirements. There is a lot of this kind of attitude, things like: Any alteration done not to help me is inherently suspicious and might hurt me. If I am the customer, you have no right to mess with my stuff. Except of course, whether the model be open or closed, it is the product of thousands or millions of decisions, many of which are not about what you the customer wanted. All such products are ‘altered’ constantly. Often the change will not ‘serve your needs,’ either yours in particular or those of users or customers in general. There are many other problems to solve as well, including legal requirements and harm prevention. When this is invisible, people do not care. When one in particular becomes salient, people get angry. The parallel to DRM is also poisoning the well here. DRM sucks, in all its implementations, because it makes your product worse. At best it eats resources, and it can actively prevent you from using the product, and sometimes it can mess up your machine. All us gamers know the pain well. You sometimes have to do some of it, because copyright does not enforce itself even if you in particular would still honor it. This is not like that. But it slightly vibes with it, and that can be enough. Maybe It’s Partly The Word Watermark I mean, I guess? I presume ‘secret’ would be ten times worse for the same reasons. Shoshannah Tekofsky : It’s the word ‘watermark’! People now think of stock images with impossibly annoying patterns superimposed. This is nothing like what Anthropic is doing. We need new words for AI things. I suggest ‘secret.’ A secret is clearly hard to notice! People expect to not notice. Jai : The concept we want is “steganographic signature” but most people won’t understand it. There is basically no handle here that won’t have the wrong vibes in the same way, and give the impression that you did extra work to change something, and therefore made things worse. I think watermark is a relatively good name and would prefer not to go on a euphemism treadmill. A Lot Of People Don’t Want To Get Caught Of course, you can’t come out and put it like that . Well, some people can, but a lot more of them choose not to. Often this will not even be fully conscious. Myk is Walking Backwards : It really feels like people are genuinely mostly upset that they use Claude to generate their final output and they are mad that people will be able to know that. Y’all, come on. Don’t overthink the situation. A lot of people value the ability to pass off AI writing as their own, or they want people to be unable to prove it. And no, you won’t be able to switch to ChatGPT, they will have marks too. There is also a bunch of ‘not that you would, but you could.’ There Are Some Times You Prefer Not To Be Recognized Can Anthropic or the API figure out which user generated the text? No. Anthropic confirms in the FAQ that this method cannot do that. There Are Some Good Reasons To Be Concerned With any change that impacts social dynamics, even when the objections are primarily wrong, and the thing seems clearly positive, there are still going to be some downsides and concerns. Here are the ones that seem at least somewhat legitimate to me. Cheat Cheat Cheat Cheat Cheat This is my top real concern, which is that the worst people will remove the watermark. Removing the watermark is non-trivial, but given you have an answer key to train with and check in each case, one can doubtless build AI tools that scramble small choices in ways that degrade or erase the watermark. You can verify that it worked. They could also use a local or other model that does not carry a watermark, or not one that anyone is likely to check. This potentially puts you in a worse position, since they can then use the false negative as a defense. When you have a test that is good enough that you trust it by default, but that is possible to fake when it counts, that can be pretty bad. My response is that this is going to be annoying, and also doing it is clear consciousness of guilt and far worse than the initial AI use, and that other methods of detection will still work. Pangram will still mark it as AI, at least if you do it the way I’m imagining, and won’t be confused about which AI the original came from (the Pangram algorithm can differentiate different AIs, but it doesn’t tell the user). It would also still read to a human as AI. Thus this would be an issue if for example a college student used it, and the university couldn’t act without the proof from the watermark, and that issue could snowball, but now the student needs to put in more effort, and has clear mens rea, and in practice I expect this to be mostly not something that is done. The real world test is another reason not to worry. Everyone has access to Pangram. So in theory, anyone could iteratively check the Pangram result until it comes back as human. But we have observed how people react in the wild, and approximately no one does. People just… get caught. In general, if you raise the effort level of submitting AI work, that mostly does do the job. If you remove the watermark by rewriting the whole thing in your own words, of course, that is fine and counts as Mission Fucking Accomplished. The Writing In The Middle and Error Rates When writing uses AI to some extent, but is still largely written by a human, what happens with the watermark? If you use some of the AI turns of phrase, will people classify your work as AI, even if it is largely your own? Will there be zero tolerance policies and unfortunate cases? This is all probabilistic, so what happens when the answer comes back wrong? The answer is that the watermark measures AI processing. So translations and file conversions might trigger the watermark, which is unfortunate, but one can be aware of that. So could proofreading, if you let Claude automatically make the related edits, but if you use it to find errors and correct them yourself, it won’t. Thus I am confident that strong watermark positives will consistently be true positives in terms of AI writing or processing of the words. The amount of watermark signature on my posts will not be zero, since I am quoting others who sometimes will have used Claude, or sometimes directly quoting Claude. The direct quotes are clearly marked, but the watermark won’t know the difference. There will be some degree of paranoia when using any words from an AI system, in places where such use is clearly good. So yeah, a little of that will happen, but I expect people to rapidly get used to this, and there should be a high presumption that giving people more info is good and it is up to them how to react to it. If you are paranoid and among people who are Big Mad about even a sliver of AI use, and also that might actually use the API, you can check your own output first via the API. Or you can honor the preferences of those folks, and not use AI even in some of the ways that you and I would agree are good. As usual, in terms of actual mistakes and false positives, people have vastly lower tolerance for errors and potential errors by automated systems, than they do for humans. The error rate is going to be very, very low. If a human is trying to decide if you used AI, they’re going to have a substantial error rate, far higher than the watermark. And AI use is one place where demands to ‘prove’ things go too far, especially in academia, often letting people often ‘get away with’ things that everybody knows they did. This is not criminal law, if no one is going to jail you should not need the same super high level of confidence. Millions For Defense But Not One Cent For Tribute The last concern is not about the watermark itself, but about the mandate and its origin in the EU Code of Practice. Anthropic implemented watermarking worldwide due to an EU law, since it is a lot easier to do it everywhere than only for the EU. So that means that the EU is sapping and impurifying our precious AI output tokens , against our will. We must fight back. Who knows what else they might target next? The object level response is that no, they are not doing that. They are technically changing the outputs, the same way that a butterfly flaps its wings and changes the weather, but not in any systematic or directional way. As discussed above, the outputs are not degraded. This Is Fine. The real concern is the principle, and what might come next. Yes, this is fine for now, and forcing Apple to use USB-C was fine for now, but the fines they impose on our tech companies are basically modern piracy and who knows what comes next. To which I say, they are a huge market, and yes they get some say, and have always gotten some say, and the limiting factor is America pushes back or in extremis we geofence, take our ball and go home, as indeed has already happened with some AI services, in the EU and elsewhere, over similar issues. Another thing that might come next, in theory, is that there is no size minimum on requiring watermarks. So in theory they could come after any AI without them, including tiny open models. If they made a sufficiently large fuss about this it would be bad. I do not expect this, but they’ve done stupider. This is the dance. I am worried about the EU or others imposing a censorship regime in this way, forcing our tech companies to play along. That could plausibly extend to ideological requirements on AI outputs. If they or others did try that, I believe our frontier labs would not apply such changes globally, and indeed would face severe backlash if they tried. Instead, I predict the labs would at least threaten to geofence, or use aggressive classifiers or similar tech on EU queries. Yes, we do have to keep an eye out for Brussels overreaching. But this? This Is Fine. Discuss
