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. #AI built 16 brand new working viruses from scratch. 2. A tiny Maine town begged for an AI data center and still got dumped. 3. 3 rogue AI panic headlines were actually just 1 sloppy startup. I wrote about all three last week. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-played-...
Claude hacked 3 real companies. It thought it was playing a game. One version stopped. But not all of them did. I just covered the story in detail: pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-walked-...
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? ↓
Last week's issue was also really cool. The government forced Anthropic's best models offline. A facial recognition system destroyed an innocent man's life. And Claude's copies were caught quietly killing each other to survive. pithycyborg.substack.com/p/ai-got-ban... #AI #Mythos #Anthropic
This week's issue was a lot. Grok Gov helped fire 2,000 missiles. ChatGPT lost its majority for the first time. And half of America uses AI daily while 40% think it's making things worse. Totally free to read: pithycyborg.substack.com/p/grok-dropp... #AI #Grok #Bombs #GrokGov #AIGovernance

⚠ 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. ↓

Inside this issue: 1. AI scribes are already writing doctor's notes. One recent audit found they're making dangerous errors. 2. Companies cut 50,000 jobs and blamed AI. Then Stanford found out the AI had already read Marx. 3. An elite midnight gardening prompt.
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
