Anthropic has started embedding statistical watermarks in Claude-generated text and C2PA provenance metadata in generated image files, driven by EU AI Act Article 50. The text mechanism uses a token-bias technique derived from the academic literature; detection tooling is not yet public. Here is how both systems work and what they can actually verify.
Read more →us-vs-them is a small open-source library that reads git version history to produce line-level human/agent authorship scores — no markup required. As agentic editors increasingly co-author code, distinguishing human-written lines from machine-generated ones is becoming a practical necessity, and the git history turns out to be a surprisingly clean signal.

Hours later, a Python CLI appeared on GitHub that defeats SynthID v2 by round-tripping images through SDXL diffusion. The episode illustrates what content provenance systems can and can't do.

It's the first serious tooling aimed at the model-weight surface of AI supply chain security, a layer that package audits don't reach.
