Is a dedicated paid internship only platform necessary?
Is there room for such a platform, which only onboards and displays paid internships from employers? Not free ones, not the ones which gives just credits or certificates, but real money (stipend or salary).

Anthropic writes a FAQ answering some of the questions about the watermarking
As per Anthropic's statements:
- Claude is implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking;
- Their watermarking method doesn’t have any practical impact on the quality or content of Claude’s outputs;
- The difference between watermarked and un-watermarked text will not be distinguishable to readers;
- Nothing is added to the text and there are no hidden characters;
- Watermarking doesn’t require extra tokens, and will not be more expensive;
- Watermarks can’t be traced to a specific person, organization, or chat.
