Just like there is a convention in posting headlines for [video], [pdf], etc... should there be a convention for any article related to some "breakthrough" (in typical categories like cancer treatment and batteries capacity) to highlight whether the article mentions theoretical work, petri-dish, mice, other animals, test trial, clinical trial, phase X, a proto, a demo, or some stuff that's ready for the market ?

All those things have they place in the long run to discovery, but I wish there was a penalty for posting "scientists have done x and it cured cancer" (in a computer model of a spherical mouse of negative mass, that may or may not have been cancer-free.)

> the question is whether an active or passive system can be designed (at any cost) which will satisfy each of SOLAS, the flag state and the insurers, and remain operational for more than a few days.

We went to the moon. :) Or more pertinently we have diesel submarines with snorkel masts which automatically close (and even more importantly the diesel engine automatically shuts off) when submerged.

So we know it can be done. I can't even imagine how expensive those things are on a submarine, and how expensive all the maintenance must be.

I know this sounds crazy but changing regulations (or rather realistically obtaining exemptions) is "just a cost" too. A huge cost for sure. And an uncertain cost. But it can be done, especially when one does all the requires engineering work to show that the new solution is safer than the old one.

I understand that most people when they say "at any cost" what they mean is "at any cost reasonable within our means for this kind of thing". But when taken literally "at any cost" is quite expansive.

> Automatically closing vents must be considered down-flooding points, so when calculation the down-flooding angle, you must consider them to be open (for SOLAS purposes).

Presumably the SOLAS calculations were already fine with the down-flooding angle as is. So we can still treat the vent as open (for SOLAS purposes) while at the same time have an auto-closing feature on them.

Google is branding this in a positive light but this is just AI text DRM.
How is this supposed to work? By inserting special unicode characters?

How can you watermark text?
I think your idea is basically right, but there are two points to consider:

- Your hypothesis only holds if the alternative LLM is also "sufficiently good". If Gemini does not stay competitive with other LLMs, Google's AI plans have a much more serious problem.

- Your hypothesis assumes that many people will be capable of detecting the watermarks (both of Gemini and other LLMs) so that they can make a conscious choice for another LLM. But the idea behind good watermarking is that it is not that easy to detect.

The NeXT logo is, like everything, a product of it's time. It would have had to evolve, just like the Apple logo. It's just that the apple with a bit taken out had a recognisable shape, which Apple have kept. NeXT would have had to transition as much as Microsoft has, because the Paul Rand design is so locked to that specific period in time. It's both the colors and the shape, where the Apple logo is just the colors. Maybe they could lose the writing and the colors, but then it just look like a Transformer faction.

The NeXT logo is interesting as an anachronism, forever locked in the early 90s, with no evolution, due to Apple buying the company.

According to the article, you can just have another LLM summarise Gemini's watermarked output and that will "likely" defeat the watermark detection.

> Occam's razor points pretty clearly towards a historical Jesus

Too late for me to edit my sibling comment; but it just occurred to me that you are using the same methodology as Carrier to come to conclusions about historical facts. You call it Occam's razor. Carrier calls it Bayesian probability. But the idea is the same: what is the most likely (most probable) interpretation of the presented evidence. It is funny that, appealing to the same methodology, you arrive at different conclusions.

In the sense the external environment can influence business decisions, or even change the nature of a business... maybe. At a strategic level.

Depends on what you do.

To determine how much what you do might depend on external factors, there's no harm in doing a PEST analysis [1] once in a while. Perhaps combine it with some other tools, mind tools really that can help spark or focus reflective thinking.

"An LLM generates text one token at a time. These tokens can represent a single character, word or part of a phrase. To create a sequence of coherent text, the model predicts the next most likely token to generate. These predictions are based on the preceding words and the probability scores assigned to each potential token.

For example, with the phrase “My favorite tropical fruits are __.” The LLM might start completing the sentence with the tokens “mango,” “lychee,” “papaya,” or “durian,” and each token is given a probability score. When there’s a range of different tokens to choose from, SynthID can adjust the probability score of each predicted token, in cases where it won’t compromise the quality, accuracy and creativity of the output.

This process is repeated throughout the generated text, so a single sentence might contain ten or more adjusted probability scores, and a page could contain hundreds. The final pattern of scores for both the model’s word choices combined with the adjusted probability scores are considered the watermark. This technique can be used for as few as three sentences. And as the text increases in length, SynthID’s robustness and accuracy increases."

I really want to be able to try Gemini without the AI watermark. IIRC they've used SynthID from the start and it makes me wonder if it's the source of all of Gemini's issues.

Obviously Google claims that it doesn't cause any issues but I'd think that OpenAI and other competitors would have something similar to SynthID if it didn't impact performance.
It's an approximation, but if you don't do that, someone creating and updating a container in a loop (or intentionally running wget in a loop) will skew the statistics arbitrarily.

I don't think there is a more precise way to do it without compromising privacy. Obviously if you are willing to compromise privacy you can send information such as whether the distribution is running in a container or VM and the NIC MAC address and a persistent identifier, but that would be unacceptable since it is not in the interests of users to send that.

There's a lot of folks in startups who think 100 devs is a large org and can't comprehend the scale at which '100% tests pass' stops being a build blocker. I've migrated from such an org to a late stage startup and 'tests must pass' even if fifty engineers are blocked with their PRs and the release train is fully halted. 'But our pipelines must be green' no they don't, at least not all of them.

Occam's razor is not an argument from probability, it's an argument from simplicity. Why invent a conspiracy (or a myth) when it's easier to accept the well-propagated narrative emerging from a single point in time and nothing about the situation indicates conspiracy (or myth)? The idea of assigning probability to any aspect of this question is ridiculous.

Pour the boiling water (> 90 C) onto the bloody tea! Preferably loose tea in a teapot, but a bag in a mug will do.

And don't get me started on having to flag down a waiter to ask for a teaspoon and milk jug every-sodding-time!

(At this point, somebody from the USA will invariably post claiming to be a tea connoisseur, and tediously explain why lukewarm brews are superior and the proper Indian/Chinese/Japanese/Antarctic way of doing things and that British drink shite tea. My response to this is "bugger off").

I haven't read how Google is doing it, but one way it could be done is to nudge which tokens get sampled. For example, every other token could have an odd numbered id (where each token is assigned an id from 0 to 32000 or however many it has). Then in order to detect the watermark you just tokenize the text and see if the pattern is there. A problem with this approach is that it harms the accuracy and coherency, for example if you ask "What is 2+2", and the token "4" is token #102, and it has to pick an odd-numbered token, then it may respond with a wrong answer or yap on strangely due to its limited selection of tokens (like "The accurate answer to your mathematical query is the number Four")

> the team tested it on 20 million prompts given to Gemini. Half of those prompts were routed to the SynthID-Text system and got a watermarked response, while the other half got the standard Gemini response. Judging by the “thumbs up” and “thumbs down” feedback from users, the watermarked responses were just as satisfactory to users as the standard ones.

Three comments here:

1. I wonder how many of the 20M prompts got a thumbs up or down. I don't think people click that a lot. Unless the UI enforces it. I haven't used Gemini, so I might be unaware.

2. Judging a single response might be not enough to tell if watermarking is acceptable or not. For instance, imagine the watermarking is adding "However," to the start of each paragraph. In a single GPT interaction you might not notice it. Once you get 3 or 4 responses it might stand out.

3. Since when Google is happy with measuring by self declared satisfaction? Aren't they the kings of A/B testing and high volume analysis of usage behavior?

Using LLMs to write your essays and reports for school or uni, in a way that could get you punished if caught, is a reasonably big use case.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but watermarking is only possible, if the model has a limited set of input you can provide (affects for the output) and a limited set of output it produces, and it should be completely deterministic. And you should pre-calculate all possible combinations.

And this should be also the case for every possible LLMs; then you can compare which LLMs could produce which outputs based on what inputs. Then there is some certainty that this output is produced by this LLM and this another LLM might produce it as well with these inputs.

So... impossible?

It's very likely not their decisions that lead to this, but their responsibility to improve velocity.

Imagine the goal is to fix the problems (e.g. make it possible to run less of the services or something like that): How do you do that without first running all the services, making the proper changes, and then testing those changes? You need to be able to run all the services in that interim period.

So, wouldn't it be nice if there were a solution for this in-general? And, maybe, it would lead to better conditions later on. But in the meantime there is really no way around the existing design/decisions/etc. You simply have to deal with that reality and engineer around it.
