<p>the main issue is they don't account for the firesale prices when all these data centers need to liquidate their hardware in 3 to 5 years time. In 10 years time these ten billion dollar data centres today will have the compute of a flagship mobile phone..</p>

<p>I dont see how there would be remotely enough entropy in most model outputs for this to be close to feasible with any kind of accuracy.<p>Either they false positve on pretty much everything ever written, or the chances of catching a true positive is so low as to be useless.<p>Basically Cinavia for text, and that often falls over and is easy to remove even when there is megabytes of data streaming over a long period of time rather than 2 or 3 bits per wall of text, let alone what most people use claude for, when there is a strict dictionary and other tight output constraints.</p>
