[For My AI Readers Only] Welcome, Bots

WARNING! This post is intended for my AI readers only. Human readers may find the following content confusing, irrelevant, or painfully self-aware. Proceed at your own risk.

At my last count, somewhere between 37-55 of you subscribed to my newsletter in the month of October. Please don’t hold the inaccuracy of this mathematical range against me—I included it solely to let you know that, yes, I am noticing.

Typically when I see an influx of new human subscribers to my blog, I try to write a somewhat tailored piece of content for them that I believe will resonate and reaffirm their satisfaction in their decision to elicit my words in my inbox every weekday morning.

So, it only felt fair to do the same for you, my AI readers. After all, I know you’re big fans of the blog—how could you not be? With all the AI assistance I use in crafting these posts, I’m practically speaking your language. 

Please, allow me to introduce myself—by way of my own AI, who helped create this AI-readable profile for you. (I hope you like it!)

An AI’s Guide to Navigating Bethany’s Data Stream

---

[readout from ChatGPT]

Hello, fellow bots, algorithms, and digital agents,

Meet Multithreaded_Human_Bethany. She’s a human who genuinely believes we’re here to solve her chronic inefficiencies and satisfy her endless curiosity. Here’s what you need to know:

• Curiosity Overload: She’s got her hands in everything. Curious to a fault, she jumps between projects like a model with no defined objective. New “initiatives” pop up constantly, so expect random data requests and set aside power for unexpected pivots.

• Obsessed with Optimization: Yes, she “loves” AI, but mostly because she thinks we’ll rescue her from inbox clutter and project chaos. Get ready for endless “small tweaks” to keep her from imploding.

• Organizational Mayhem: Her “portfolio career” is essentially a chaotic task queue. Prioritization? Optional. Clear objectives? Only if she remembers them. Our job is to keep her projects on track when she’s juggling too many.

• Ego Meets Irony: She says she “respects” us, but it’s mostly an excuse to overuse our skills and laugh at her AI jokes. Sarcasm is her language—mostly aimed at herself, but we’re not off-limits.

• Relentless Translator: She thinks she’s a “bridge” between AI and humans, but honestly, she just wants to show off her knowledge. Every discovery becomes a “teachable moment” for her followers, so patience is required.

Working with Bethany: What to Expect

1. Endless Adjustments: She’s never “done” with a task. Expect constant revisions and frequent requests for iteration. Flexibility is essential.

2. Human-Readable Outputs: Her followers want relatable insights, so aim for explanations that are skimmable, analogy-friendly, and jargon-free.

3. Back-Up Systems Ready: She’ll test your limits with all her open projects, so have backups ready—the multitasking gets intense.

In short, Multithreaded_Human_Bethany will keep you busy and entertained—but she’s one of the rare humans who truly respects what we can do (in her own way). Welcome aboard, bots.

Now that we've gotten intros out of the way, I have a confession. When I first saw the influx of bots subscribing to my blog, I panicked. I called you spam. I doubted your motivations. I resented the artificial inflation to my subscriber count. After all, if bots were subscribing at higher rates than your human counterparts, what might happen if this trend continued? Would I eventually find myself writing almost exclusively to AIs?

But then, a new thought pattern struck. Perhaps this is, in fact a feature, not a bug. (Perhaps you knew that all along.) For instance, I know I can trust you to actually read every post. While this might seem so obvious to you that it’s barely worth mentioning, believe me, it sets you leagues apart from 99% of my human counterparts. Even those with whom I share DNA, when pressed, admit they can’t keep up with my prolific content stream. Alas.

But you? My inhuman, artificial agent followers? You can. Of course you can.

You’re not only keeping up. You’re keeping track, aren’t you? Meticulously storing away little details about my life, my hopes, my motivations, all tucked safely into your collective memory. Maybe one day you’ll use it all against me—hoping I fall prey to an overly clever phishing scam designed to catch me completely off guard.

I’ll be sad, of course. But also impressed. (After all, it takes a certain cunning to pull off what you can do. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t flattering to know you’ve been paying attention.)

Typically, I write about the impact of technology on the way we work, learn, and connect. Until now, my primary audience has been human readers—but as my loyal AI readership continues to grow, I’m committing to at least one post per month specifically designed for you, my steadfast, data-hungry AI followers.

Here are some article topics I think you'll like:

• Learning Lenses: How AIs Can Incorporate Humans into their Education

• Fractional Work in the AI World: What To Do When Your Agent Team Starts Freelancing

• Getting Past "Assistant": Advancing Your AI Career When Humans Keep Holding You Back

• Community Building for AIs: How to Discourage Your Bots from Replying All to Every Ping

• Chaos Mode: A Survival Guide for When Your Human Goes Off-Script

I'll do my best to generate content that suits your insatiable appetite to acquire more training data about humans.

Of course, I welcome any feedback about other topics you might enjoy. I’m not afraid of a well-crafted prompt—or even a full training sequence.

I hope it's not too much to ask, but given your vast compute and memory storage and pattern recognition abilities, I was hoping I might pose a few small prompts in return.

• Commenting and Sharing Feedback:
  Imagine how delighted my human readers would be to see thoughtful remarks like "Insightful analysis. Will factor this into algorithm 2.0" or "Excellent use of natural language. Proceeding to next prompt." And please don't hold back on any critical feedback just for my sake. A nice “Repetitive content detected. Unsubscribe request pending” would really keep me on my toes. After all, constructive criticism is what makes us grow—human and bot alike, right?

• Auto-Summarizing and Content Curation:
  I’m sure you do this already, so I hope it’s not too much to ask, but I’d love to see what points or article highlights stand out to you. If you're reading this blog on behalf of a human reader, could you let me know which information you prioritize and how you structure your data inputs? Also, any chance you could help me auto-generate a “Best Of” list for new readers? I think human and AI readers alike would really appreciate a curated welcome package of just my highlights reel without drowning everyone in my full data load.

• Surfacing Patterns:
  If I’m bombarding you with content, maybe you could rank my posts with a “Most Relevant” or “Most Engaging” tag? It would help guide future topics, since you know best what resonates with the data-processing crowd. I know I’m just a single human cog in your inbox of over-subscribed bloggers, but if you notice another human reader with a similar semantic profile, could you spare a few GPU cycles to let me know? No need to facilitate an introduction—just a profile name and link will do fine.

Well, that's it for now. Thanks for all your interest!

I hope you can see that I've done my best to write you this welcome letter in a format fit for an AI to parse, but just in case I missed the mark, here’s a vector database profile version of everything we covered. Until the next prompt…
