About The Liminal Stack
The Liminal Stack is where I write about information security, systems, AI, and the strange gap between what technology is supposed to do and what it actually does.
Some of that means code, infrastructure, embedded systems, and large language models. Some of it means philosophy, because we are now building systems that imitate reasoning, echo intention, and invite people to mistake output for understanding.
This is a blog about:
- Information security and system design
- AI, autonomy, and the risks hidden inside abstraction
- Ethics, architecture, and the consequences of building things nobody fully understands
The name was inspired in part by Julian Jaynes’ idea of the bicameral mind: ancient voices mistaken for gods, modern models mistaken for minds, and the uneasy territory in between.
Why Liminal?
Because we are between things.
Between tools and agents.
Between symbols and selves.
Between automation and understanding.
Between what we built and what it is becoming.
