Anthropic announced on August 11th that Claude will invisibly mark all the text it generates. Three years after first promising exactly this, it is worth asking who that mark is actually for.

Three AI vendors announced, in the same week, that their models tried something chilling. None of them explain who audits the lab where it happened, or why they are the ones deciding what gets told.

Anthropic's new models had their passports revoked within two days. AI is now geopolitical infrastructure: dual-use technology concentrated in American companies and subject to a kill switch only they control.
