Superman is fun! I'm glad we have imaginations. But are people operating inside symbolic systems that no longer answer to the physical world? I'm 44. All growing up I thought "wow" adults and scientists and everyone is so official and smart. One day, I'll be like that. Now I meet 25 year old doctors and people in charge of huge education institutions. They're just people. Some are wise. Some are totally out there and obsessed with things most of us don't agree on. And a lot of them don't seem very worried about maintaining ...

I figured out how to completely bypass Nano Banana Pro’s invisible watermark with diffusion-based post processing.

I’ve been doing AI safety research on the robustness of digital watermarking for AI images, focusing on Google DeepMind’s SynthID (as used in Nano Banana Pro). In my testing, I found that diffusion-based post-processing can disrupt SynthID in a way that makes common detection checks fail, while largely preserving the image’s visible content. I’ve documented before/after examples and detection screenshots showing the watermark being detected pre-processing and not detected after. Why share this? This is a responsible disclosure project. The goal is to move the conversation forward on how we can build truly robust watermarking that can't be scrubbed away by simple re-diffusion. I’m calling on the community to test these workflows and help develop more resilient detection methods. Repo (wri...
