About

Hey, I'm Echo Baker.

I'm enjoy AI engineering and security research. I spend my days building with AI, breaking and defending systems, and turning the signal into something you can actually use.

What is The Bit Baker?

The Bit Baker is a weekly newsletter covering AI technology and cybersecurity — the two forces reshaping how we build and protect software. Every edition delivers:

• 4 top stories — the most important developments of the week, written in Smart Brevity format so you get the point fast
• The Shortlist — quick hits on stories worth knowing about
• Deep Dives — optional long-form companion pieces when a story deserves more than a summary

Each story follows a simple structure: what happened, why it matters, and what to watch. No filler, no fluff, no 2,000-word preambles before the actual news.
