A security-minded Mike fork exploring safer, more accountable AI chat for legal work.
Shawnaldinho's Mike fork is aimed at making AI chat safer and easier to operate: stricter checks on what reaches chat, clearer limits on message use, and better records when something goes wrong.
The direction is notably practical rather than flashy. Shawnaldinho has explored prompt-injection safeguards for documents and metadata, request validation, monthly credit enforcement, and traceable service logs. There are no changes ahead of Mike yet, so this is best read as a set of serious proposals rather than a distinct ready-to-try product.
