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.

Following my successful switch to a MacBook, I also moved Susan to a Mac last night. She now has an Air with what I hope will be a great setup. All her email runs through gmail which syncs with both her iPhone and mail.app. Contacts and calendar are also kept in Google and sync’d to iPhone via push and to Mac address book and iCal via a program called ‘Spanning Sync’. This means that not only is all her key info automatically backed up to the cloud but cloud, MacBook and iPhone are all in sync. Time Machine is set up also and backs up to our ReadyNAS at home (need to find out if someone offers a cloud solution for Time Machine - that would be awesome). Now I just need to figure out how to get myself off Outlook!
