Philosophy Mondays: Human-AI Collaboration
Today's Philosophy Monday is an important interlude. I want to reveal that I have not been writing the posts in this series entirely by myself. Instead I have been working with Claude, not just for the graphic illustrations, but also for the text. My method has been to write a rough draft and then ask Claude for improvement suggestions. I will expand this collaboration to other intelligences going forward, including open source models such as Llama and DeepSeek. I will also explore other moda...

Web3/Crypto: Why Bother?
One thing that keeps surprising me is how quite a few people see absolutely nothing redeeming in web3 (née crypto). Maybe this is their genuine belief. Maybe it is a reaction to the extreme boosterism of some proponents who present web3 as bringing about a libertarian nirvana. From early on I have tried to provide a more rounded perspective, pointing to both the good and the bad that can come from it as in my talks at the Blockstack Summits. Today, however, I want to attempt to provide a coge...

By at least one metric of the health and growth of the NY startup community things could hardly be going better: the quality and quantity of events. This week alone there seems to be at least one event every day that I would love to go and that was before I started looking at Charlie O'Donnell’s wonderful and entertainingly written “This week in the NYC Innovation Community” (if you are in New York and not already a subscriber, head over to http://www.thisisgoingtobebig.com/nycevents immediately).
Unfortunately, I will have to miss most of these events because they are in the evenings! It’s a combination of living in the burbs and being a big fan of the family dinner. I have no problem working after dinner - usually by first reading together with the kids (currently Steven Johnson’s excellent “Where Good Ideas Come From”) and then catching up on email after they are asleep. For the dinner itself we try to have an actual topic of discussion, which one of the kids gets to pick.
Maybe once the kids are older and if we ever manage to convince them to move back to the city, I can go back to attending evening events. Until then have to experience them mostly vicariously through reading blogged summaries and hearing from attendees.
