On working machines
In part one, on thinking machines, I explored two facets of the philosophy of artificial intelligence: “intelligence”, and consciousness. That left an important topic to consider for this post: the impact of artificial intelligence on work. No technology has ever … <a href="https://www.sicpers.info/2026/03/on-working-machines/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">→</span></a>

Afroman’s Defamation Trial Is Going About As Well For The Deputies As Their Original Raid Did
We’ve been following the saga of Afroman (real name Joseph Foreman) and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office for a few years now, and I’m delighted to report that the defamation trial is currently underway and it is delivering everything you could possibly hope for, starting with this absolutely astounding suit that he’s wearing in court […]

The Purpose of Protocols
Every open social protocol generates shared resources, but none has produced a governance framework adequate to those resources. So who fills that vacuum?

Marc Andreessen is wrong about introspection
This newsletter is free to read, and it’ll stay that way. But if you want more - extra posts each month, access to the community, and a direct line to ask me things - paid subscriptions are $2.50/month. A lot of people have told me it’s

Polly Wants a Better Argument
The 'stochastic parrots' argument is empirically false, irrelevant to modern AI, and circular. It undermines the AI ethics it claims to support

The Last Quiet Thing
This watch costs twelve dollars. It weighs twenty-one grams. It has told time the same way since 1989. A visual essay about the objects that came alive, the labor they externalized onto you, and the peace of a thing that does what it does and then shuts up.

Turns Out The DOGE Bros Who Killed Humanities Grants Are Kinda Sensitive About It
Much of last week I had been working on a different article than the one this became. The American Historical Association, the Modern Language Association, and the American Council of Learned Societies — all plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the National Endowment for the Humanities over DOGE’s mass grant cancellations — had uploaded the full […]

ICE Officers Admit To Arrest Quotas During Court Testimony
It’s not that arrest and ticket quotas don’t exist. They do. They always have. They always will. It’s that they’re illegal. Courts have repeatedly criticized quotas because they create incentives so perverse they’d make /b/ board denizens uncomfortable. Since they’re presumptively illegal, most law enforcement agencies will use any word but “quota” to describe these. […]

The most brilliant move in corporate history?
In a bold departure from its Big Tech peers, Apple sidestepped the $650 billion AI infrastructure spending frenzy, a move likened to opting out of purchasing the US Navy annually. While Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta funneled cash into data centers, transforming from cash cows into debt-laden entities, Apple maintained a modest $14 billion capital…
