Opening the docket
What The Adversarial System is for: essays at the collision of AI, security, and liberty — designed here, distributed on Substack.
The Adversarial System is a publication of essays on what happens where machine systems, state power, and individual rights collide.
This site is the designed, permanent home of each piece. Substack is the distribution channel — email and conversation — not the canonical text. When both exist, this docket is authoritative.
Expect filings on artificial intelligence, national security, civil liberties, and the institutions that mediate them. Argue in the open. Separate fact from judgment. Correct promptly when we get it wrong.
