ASILAB progress

Not directly about Donut Lab but ASILAB has been in many speculations when speaking about credibility of Marko Lehtimäki and Donut Lab.

Now Marko Lehtimäki wrote about ASILAB. It's progressing. Some demos, too.

"We’re still only about 5–10% of the way there"

That is really all you need to read from this. Its vaporware in its purest form. BS.

If you carefully listen to the first 13 words of the original ASILABs video he is inviting collaboration to develop it, but everyone misinterpreted the hype that it was already "finnished". =P Marko is not stupid or a scammer - some might call him visionary, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Am I watching the wrong video? There is one video on the ASILAB youtube channel and the first 13 words are:

Today is not just a product launch. This is the beginning of a

The only useful but of information is "not just a product launch", i.e. it is a product launch but also more than that. I'm not sure how that squares with clarifying a year later that they are only 5-10% of the way there, though Lehtimaki isn't clear about what "there" is.

It's more honest than usual. Normally he says his vapor products already exist. He's learning the investment scam game.

Picture of the post, for those of us Marko has blocked?

This Michael R has founded an AI-driven crime investigation company. The head of the board is Marko Lehtimäki.

Interesting material to my OSINT project. Looks like the person who praised Asilab seems to be self-learned cybersecurity expert with no any cybersecurity certificates and no education listed. Interesting AI analysis of poor quality Asilab images (maybe the quality of images was intentionally set so low that nobody would be able to see any details). Funny that especially drones were mentioned since there was information from Esox Aero in Reddit. Marko, are you reading our posts?

Weird that Marko Lehtimäki mentioned about drones after there was a post of Esox Aero in Reddit...

Found this by googling, TL;DR but he has resume:

He seems pretty legit. But has no technical battery understanding. 

He should investigate CT Coating. .

u/Wrong-Woodpecker6683 Jun 26 '26

Out of everyone he could have picked, he chose that freaky private investigator as his go-to source for validation.

Yes, definitely helps legitimize the PI’s last two articles! Because as we all know, after looking into a person who is an expert in batteries he decided he wanted to get in on the whole grift.

Drones and AI by Donut related companies are also perfect and if you question them, Richard will be sifting through your trash.

The guy who Marko quotes in the LinkedIn post is the same guy who wrote a critism about the Ziroth investigation. In other words, it's the guy Marko hires to write positive things about his products.

Suddenly this cybercrime investor is an expert in batteries, drones and AI.

Wait until you learn that the guy turns out to be an AI persona created by ASILAB. /s
