But the AI system still wouldn’t be able to hand a human a translation, because fluency and meaning aren’t the same thing here. The model can learn which signs follow which, and which words cluster together, without ever knowing what any of them actually refer to. This is also why verifying any AI-assisted claim about these languages is so difficult, and it’s a problem bigger than any one case. Normally, you’d check a proposed translation or interpretation against native speakers, other texts, or expert consensus built up over decades. None of that exists for a genuinely undeciphered language. Short of…

The earliest hurdle that Musk couldn’t clear arose in New York. In late 2024, X weirdly ended up withdrawing its application for a money transmitter license in the state. X appeared to back down after a law firm warned state banking regulators that the company was “unfit” to process payments and should instead be probed over its alleged “troubling and deep ties” to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Ever since, Ars has been requesting information on X’s withdrawal in New York, including requests to review regulators’ discussions of the application. But New York public records officials confirmed to Ars in…

Even today, there are plenty of open models that generate images with no labeling whatsoever. These AI models can be shared and improved upon indefinitely, even if most of the major AI players adopt a multifaceted approach to labeling AI content. The generative genie is out of the bottle, and there’s no stuffing it back in. Since there will always be unlabeled AI content, you can’t count on watermarks to tell you what’s true. As AI labeling becomes more common, people may think an image or video that lacks one is automatically legit. That’s a dangerous but understandable mistake for…
