NOTICE: AI Is Amazing. But Using It Carelessly Can Leak Passwords, Confidential Documents, Source Code, Contracts, And Sensitive Business Data. This Page Contains The Three AI Resources I Trust Most.

3 Free Ways To Use AI Without Sacrificing Your Privacy

Better AI. Less surveillance. Zero hype. I've taught this stuff to over 30,000 students, and the question I get asked most "which AI can I actually trust." That's the entire filter behind this page. My favorite solution is obviously the popular newsletter I write, Pithy Cyborg | AI News Made Simple, but everything below is something I'd recommend to friends, family, or paying clients without blinking. No gimmicks. No catch. Just the tools I'd stake my own reputation on.

Hey. Mike D (aka MrComputerScience) here, writing from Greater Boston.

Here's the honest truth. I spend 20 to 30 hours a week researching AI, writing my newsletter, and training AI systems for my own projects and for paying clients. Most of that time goes into figuring out how to use AI well without leaking data I shouldn't.

So instead of running ads or funnels, I built this one simple page. Three steps. Three free tools. Everything I personally use or recommend. Take all three, or just grab the one you need most.


1 Stay Ahead Of AI Threats & Breakthroughs

Get Pithy Cyborg: My Free Weekly AI Newsletter

I've taught tech to 30,000+ students from 140+ countries and worked in IT for some of the biggest organizations on Earth. Now I read everything artificial intelligence so you don't have to, and I scour thousands of sources every single week to find what actually matters.

  • 3 AI stories that survived my brutal "so what?" test.
  • Clear, no-BS insights on what they mean for your work or business.
  • 1 battle-tested AI prompt you can swipe and deploy immediately.

No 12-page essays. No "AI is coming for your job" doom-scrolling. I wade through the hype so you don't have to.

2 Stop Feeding Big Tech Your Data

Stop Feeding Sensitive Information Into Big Tech AI

Everyone's using ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude for everything, including stuff they probably shouldn't be pasting into a chatbot that trains on your data. That's why I switched a chunk of my own daily AI use to Lumo, built by Proton (yes, the encrypted email company).

Lumo runs on zero-access encryption, meaning not even Proton can read your chats, and your conversations are never used to train its models. It's open-source, works with no premium account required, and still handles real work: writing, research, coding help, document summaries, even image generation.

Zero-Access Encryption No-Logs Policy Open Source Free Account
  • Chat privately without your conversations training Big Tech's models.
  • Free to start, no email or sign-up required to test it.
  • Runs on Proton's own EU servers, not third-party cloud infrastructure.

If you want to support my work, registering for your free Lumo account is one of the best ways to do it. Lumo is genuinely free. The account is free. Only upgrade if you want more data and features. Thank you for reading, and for your support!


3 Deploy AI Responsibly

Learn To Deploy AI Responsibly In Your Business

Everyone asks me how to actually use AI to promote their business or get clients. But I'm a writer and a nerd, not a marketing guru. So I just refer folks to GoHighLevel. They're some of the sharpest people on Earth when it comes to applying AI to real business growth, and their free 5-Day Challenge makes it stupidly easy.

  • Free education: build an automated client acquisition system from scratch.
  • Real AI application: automate your lead generation, workflows, and conversations.
  • Dead simple: step by step, no advanced coding or complex tutorials required.
