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...

I bought GOOG at the IPO and have owned it since. I simply did not but nearly enough of it. Now I believe all of us who made that mistake will get another shot at buying into GOOG at a reasonable price (that is assuming you have some cash around). I am not suggesting anyone go all in right now, but I have started to buy and will continue to do so over the coming months. I also think that EBAY is a buy at current prices. They have a lot of cash which is something in short supply these days. A recession is likely to be good for their business as people will try to buy and sell used items. I also like the fact that people have been kind of down on the company because of a few lackluster years, but it is still a huge brand. Finally there is AMZN which I would love to own more of. That, however, is a tougher call. It is well off the ridiculous highs from earlier this year, but it is still quite expensive on a P/E basis. And the core of its business is retail with a potentially tough holiday season coming up. So I am on the sidelines but watching for a buying opportunity.
