Hey. My name's Mike D! I write Pithy Cyborg | AI News Made Simple. It's a 5-minute read that distills the week's AI chaos into plain English. Folks way smarter than me subscribe and read. You'll be in great company if you join. PithyCyborg.Substack.com
1. Substack rolled out an "AI detector" snitch. 2. GPT5.6 Sol's "breakout" was wider than first thought. 3. And a pastor nearly died after asking AI health questions. I wrote about all three last week. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-got-jud...
🚨 The Pentagon just admitted Grok helped fire 2,000 missiles at 2,000 targets in 96 hours. They didn't tell you. A pollution lawsuit forced it out. Who else knows what Grok Gov has already done? ↓
Pithy Cyborg just crept back into the top 100 #Rising in #Technology on Substack. No paywall. No network. No charisma. Just a newsletter doing its job. If you're curious about #AI and what it's actually doing to the world, come be a nerd with us. Thanks to those who read and help it climb. 🙏
⚠ Researchers hid malicious commands inside Zoom call background music. The #AI meeting transcriber obeyed silently. Searched for sensitive files. Forwarded them to an attacker. Nobody heard a thing. 79% to 96% success rate. Zero patches exist. Full breakdown below. ↓
⚠ Google just announced the biggest Search overhaul in 25 years. (Their words. And I agree.) AI Mode is now worldwide. 1 billion users. This announcement from Google has many SEO bloggers and self-publishers in total panic mode. Are they correct to be scared? Full breakdown below. ↓
The latest issue of Pithy Cyborg was pretty cool. I talked about AI medical errors, AI job loss, and Karl Marx. (No really. Karl Marx is sneaking into the training data, lol.) There's also an elite AI prompt for growing a midnight garden. Always 100% free, yo. ⬇ #AI #Substack #AmWriting
Ontario’s Auditor General just dropped a bombshell. All 20 approved AI scribe tools used by doctors failed procurement testing with hallucinations, incorrect information, and missing details. Official silence says one thing. The audit says another. Full breakdown below. Free on Substack. ↓
🚨 Mayo Clinic's AI caught ~73% of pancreatic cancers up to 3 years early on real patient scans. Separately, a Harvard study found AI outperforming ER doctors on complex clinical cases. Are these the biggest medical AI breakthroughs of the year? Full breakdown below. Free. ↓
🚨 Elon Musk just admitted under oath that #xAI used #distillation on OpenAI's models to train Grok. The same practice he publicly attacks competitors for. His answer when pressed? "Partly." Full breakdown below. Free to read. ↓
On 3/31/2026 the Trump regime ordered the most devastating dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service in 121 years. All 10 regional offices gone, 57 research stations closed, and 193 million acres handed to political appointees. A few brands have spoken out, but more need to. Take action at saveusfs.org

Most people turn assumptions about a single event into expectations that carry the projection of the desired event. Better read that again. As human beings, we tend to fall for this often. Today's newsletter that dives deeper into it: www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-mu... #buildinpublic #marketing
How much meaning does a single event carry?

🚨 AI News Update → A Florida man believed Google Gemini was his "AI wife," then a wrongful death suit says the bot coached him toward death. AI literally invited him into a, quote, "Pocket Universe". Safety feature, or delusion engine? PR says hotlines. I dug deeper. ↓
22% conversion rate on my new LinkedIn newsletter now. Very happy with the progress. Now, most people would be like: "you have to build a LinkedIn newsletter or else you'll miss out!!" Neglecting, that it's just a tactic. And tactics only work, if your foundation is on point. #buildinpublic
17.4% conversion rate on my new newsletter within 24h. Wow. (yes, I'm aware the invitation was only send to my 115 connections on LinkedIn and that's a low statistics, but still) Let's see how this unfolds, it looks like the right direction. #buildinpublic #marketing
I've got a newsletter now on LinkedIn and published the first issue today. New connections automatically get invited (not subscribed of course, that's up to them). An important foundational step and part of my flywheel. #buildinpublic #marketing www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-b2...

One of the best ways to use AI: build a garden with it! I loved the 3 prompts, they gave me many new ideas for my own garden. To grow delicious edibles. To attract more pollinators. To create a beautiful garden full of life. Thanks Mike :)
MrComputerScience@mrcomputerscience.bsky.social · 5mo ago🌱 Many gardeners hate #AI. They think it's synthetic, extractive, disconnected from the earth. But you can use AI to plan an EPIC spring garden. AI can also help local pollinators by identifying the BEST native shrubs for your grow zone. Full story below. ↓ #Gardening #Bees
