About

Silicon Heart is an independent publication launched in March 2024 by Jonathan Ma.

Weekly dispatch on tech, humanity and occasional weird stuff.

We explore how algorithms are affecting jobs, education, healthcare, the very social fabric, societal norms and more. We also delve into the philosophical questions around human-level AI and consciousness. Above all, our goal is to spark your curiosity about the changes reshaping society at the hands of our new digital partners and competitors - machines with intelligence far beyond what even dreamed possible just a few years ago.

If you subscribe now, you'll get full access to the website as well as email newsletters about new content when it's available. Your subscription makes this site possible, and allows Weekend Buster to continue to exist. Thank you!
