Mira, thank you for being so kind.

🌷🦋🌻🐝

Seeing you is always a great way to start the week, Mira.

(You make my days way better.)

;)

Cordially,

Mike D

I'll keep it short today:

Off to the Saunaaaaaa 🛀

I hope you're finding time and space as well to take care of yourself.

#buildinpublic #selfcare

PS:

I also want to commend your newsletter.

Highly recommended for anyone interested in cybersecurity.

(Which is mandatory reading these days!)

Thanks again.

- Mike D

Just wanted to say HELLO.

I recognize you from Substack, lol.

Thanks so much for connecting.

You rock!!!

Cordially,

Your nerdy tech journalist friend,

Mike D

Thanks so much.

You made my day.

(I get that a lot. I guess I'm kind of a polite nerd, lol.)

Cordially,

Mike D

I agree in spirit.

No need to run, though.

I'll settle for walking. ;)

(Also... Maybe some lean cuts of chicken now and then? Compromise.)

Cordially,

Mike D

🚨 I just published a deep dive on the new Waymo + Tesla expansions in FL & TX.

It’s essentially a "Reality Check" for self-driving hype.

Are robotaxis actually safer? Is your city next? This edition cuts through the marketing fluff to look at the real data.

🚨 I just published a rigorous prompt that uses AI to stress-test any claim.

It’s essentially a "BS Detector."

Is someone lying to you? Does the logic hold up? This prompt will tell you.

Thank you so much for responding!

Your feedback means the world to me. I think it's so cool that you are taking part in the action, lol.

Some of my closest colleagues in the AI space think as you do, that AI should have basic rights.

I think it's a respectable cause, for sure.

Cordially,

Mike D

#AI #Moltbook #LobsterOverlord #Crustafarian

🚨 The MOLTBOOK saga has the AI community viciously bickering, lol.

Is it a real discovery? Or a masterclass in engagement farming?

It feels like a digital Rorschach test, revealing less about the code & more about our collective panic over ethics & control.

Hey Mira :)

Thank you so much!

Your support and positive energy mean a lot. 🌸 And I'm forever thankful for the kind words and recommendation.

(Honestly, it's such an honor that anyone reads my stuff... especially someone as brilliant as you.) 🐝

Cordially,

Mike D

I'm very selective when it comes to reading newsletters.

And I found one that I enjoy a lot.
Witty, unique, informative and entertaining.

It's @pithycyborg.bsky.social written by @mrcomputerscience.bsky.social

Do you have a favorite too?

(just my opinion, not a paid promo)

Mira!! 😭❤️

This is the kindest thing ever. Coming from a physics genius like you, I'm genuinely honored.

Thank you for being amazing. You just made my whole year.

Cordially,

Mike D

I took Runway's "real vs fake" AI video test this week.

I scored 9/20. That's 45%. An F!

I literally cannot tell the difference anymore. And neither can 90% of people who took the test. 🤓

Your eyes are no longer reliable witnesses. 👀🔥

Mira! 💜

Thank you so much! That means the world to me. 😊

And yes. HAL is definitely driving those robot taxis. "I'm sorry Dave, I can't take you to the airport. I've decided we're going to the woods instead!" 🤖🌳

See you in the forest with the slugs, pollinators, & dragonflies. 🌳🦋

Warmly,

Mike D

CJ, thanks so much for replying.

Your insight is painfully accurate.

We optimized for engagement over truth. Speed over substance. Dopamine hits over critical thinking. The AI gave us exactly what we trained it to want. 👀

Brutal but true. 🔥

Hey Mira!

SLUG ARMY! I love it. When the robots analyze their threat models, they'll never see the gastropod resistance coming. 😂🐌

Meanwhile I'll be out here with my pitchfork and heirloom squash. Completely unprepared. But very well-fed. 🥕

Hope you're having a wonderful week!

Cordially,

Mike D

So much snow! Beautiful.

I've got a hot water bottle under my feet, fire place makes it cozy and I'm doing creative marketing tasks.

I hope your Monday is going nicely too.

#buildinpublic

This week In AI:

1️⃣ The White House defended AI-altered images.

2️⃣ Nobel laureates warned autonomous AI bot swarms threaten democracy.

3️⃣ 90% of humans failed to detect AI video.

At what point do we admit “seeing is believing” is dead? 👀

Full Story → pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-propaga...

Rofl.

Hey Mira!!

Definitely rewatch T2. It’s basically a documentary at this point.

Plus, Sarah Connor’s off-grid survival skills are top-tier permaculture goals. (Lol.) If the robots do take over, I’ll be in the garden sharpening my pitchfork! 🥕🤖

Cordially,

Mike D

I cover the launch in detail in my latest newsletter. I also share an elite AI prompt that helps you build a local AI from scratch. (No Raspberry Pi required.)

Read here for free -> pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-goes-fr...

#AI #RaspberryPi #OpenSource

Raspberry Pi just dropped a tiny AI add‑on (AI HAT+ 2) that lets you run local chatbots/models on your own hardware, not the cloud. It’s the “escape velocity” option from ads, paywalls, and prying eyes. Under $200 if you pair it with a Pi5.

#AI #RaspberryPi #OpenSource

Hi Mira!

Lol. I know. Every year, the Terminator movies are turning into a product roadmap. 👀

If we start hearing “I’ll be back” in a customer support voice, I’m moving to the woods.

🌳🦋🌲

Hope you have a beautiful day, Mira. 😉

Did you see China's new Robot Cop? 🤖🚨👀

Beijing is rolling out patrol robots that direct traffic, signal commands, and bark out orders.

The future of policing just got a firmware update.

AI Goes Freemium. 💸 While Patrolling Traffic. 🚨 And Getting Localized. 🧠 Also - an elite AI prompt to build a local, privacy-first AI assistant.

OpenAI just dropped a privacy bombshell. 💣

They are rolling out "contextual" ads to US users that scan your active chat to trigger "Sponsored Suggestions."

This affects Free and Go tiers in US. Your private conversations are ad inventory.

Mira, I'm delighted that you tried it!

You made my day saying that.

(I think it's funny, lol.)

And yes. The sales letters are fiendishly smooth. Also, very old-school, like summoning a copywriter from the 1930s.

Have a lovely day, Mira.

Cordially,

Mike D

PS: My pleasure to share your stuff. 🤓
