Notes on AI, tools, and tech.
So Anthropic started watermarking every Claude output. And honestly? I had the same thought everyone else did. When I first heard about it, I assumed they were doing the usual trick. Zero-width characters, invisible Unicode, weird spaces that look normal but aren’t. That’s what every other “watermark” has been. That’s what I would have done … Read more

The short version is this: Starting August 2, 2026, all new Claude models will embed machine-detectable watermarks in generated text. Images and SVGs get C2PA metadata signatures too. It applies … Read more
I’ve been using AI coding assistants for a while now. Not because I can’t write code without them — I can. But because they save me time. And time is the one thing I never have enough of. I started with Cursor. Then I tried Trae. Then Claude Code showed up and everyone lost their … Read more
I am not here to debate whether AI-generated content should be labeled. That ship has sailed. The more interesting question, to me, is what happens when those labels get stitched into the fabric of code itself. Anthropic just announced that starting August 2, 2026, all new Claude models will include built-in AI-generated content marking. Two … Read more
