My journey through Reverse Engineering SynthID I spent the last few weeks reverse engineering SynthID watermark (legally) No neural networks. No proprietary access. Just 200 plain white and...

## The Watermark is a Fixed Spectral Pattern By generating pure black and white images through Google Gemini, we isolated the watermark signal from content. The results are striking: <images of regular noise pattern tiled over a 13x13 grid> *Left: SynthID watermark extracted from a pure-black Gemini image (enhanced 100×). Right: Same watermark on a white background. The diagonal stripe pattern and carrier frequencies are clearly visible.* ## Carrier Frequency Discovery The watermark embeds energy at specific carrier frequencies with >99.9% phase coherence across all images:

lol this person cracked SynthID by just generating a bunch of all white/black images and doing some basic signal processing on them.

U.S. Strikes in Middle East Use Anthropic, Hours After Trump Ban Within hours of declaring that the federal government will end its use of artificial-intelligence tools made by tech company Anthropic, President Trump launched a major air attack in Iran with the hel...

what I wonder is what effort if any was applied to review the targets.

we know they used an AI system. it was claude. palantir's intel platform that was used to suggest targets and weapons packages is built around it.

Horrific. Unforgiveable.

what if t-rex breath actually smelled like candy and that was part of how they lured their prey

Prediction: trump will chicken out and will not in fact attend the WH Correspondents' dinner.

Also: at the time of the dinner, we will still be engaged in hostilities with Iran with no end in sight.

also, the head of the DHS office charged with counter-terrorism responsibility (CP3) is basically a child.

And here's what actually happened.

GOP senator joins police in ejecting anti-war protester from Capitol Hill hearing A Senate Republican assisted several police officers in ejecting a man who interrupted a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday to object to the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

Let's give the turd eating prize to CBS for this one. Not sure if that's even fair given CBS is basically foxnews now, but whatever.

that the senator who broke the marines arm yesterday was doing anything other than violently assaulting a non-violent protester who was already being controlled by multiple police officers.

US House rejects war powers resolution to end Trump’s hostilities with Iran Democratic-backed measure that would have forced US to withdraw troops failed by a vote of 212-219

ok here we go. so congress still hasn't granted trump war powers, but neither have they forced a withdrawal. sheesh.

I'm guessing that "congress reaffirmed" line is them trying to manifest war power approvals into reality, rather than it having actually happened, seeing as I can't find any reporting to the effect that congres passed a war powers resolution?

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

“Police reported that Johnson, 45, tried to keep the children quiet by telling them he would share millions of dollars in restitution money he expected to receive from the Trump administration in connection with his Jan. 6 case.”

on the off chance you haven't already seen this despite being terminally online: here's miller straight up directing LEO to ignore their lawyers.

There is literally no available off-ramp from this shit, we've fucked it up so badly. There is no end game that isn't disaster.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

you'll surely have put more effort into the book than he did.

it's almost like maybe that outcome is their real objective, and this illegal war is just a pretext for them to impose martial law. Maybe go full Orbán.

This is why we need big newsrooms with lots of reporters who can dig into things. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/with...

How to win in November

> Academia is facing two crises rn. The AI story is, by far, the lesser of the 2. [..] jobs like mine have become vanishingly rare [..] the much bigger issue is the authoritarianism problem. [..] The whole system of knowledge-production has been defunded, attacked, and sent into a spiraling decline.

so if they're so "decimated" that we don't even need to worry about what comes next, why tf are we still there and no one in your administration is willing to even engage on the question of a timeline for ceasing hostilities?

So trump is sending her to a weekend conference in FL and pretending she's the ambassador to all of south american? she has no official role in the admin rn. she can shake hands, but she has no authority to commit the US to anything. why would anyone waste their time negotiating with her?

i think the fact that she was on the florida bar was basically the only thing that made her useful to trump.

aha

Probably fine, not like "protecting your privacy" is their entire brand or anything

what's this now? I'm late to the party and trying to catch up on the situation here

I was busy all morning and only just heard the news about Noem, someone bring me up to date this is amazing
