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.

We just got back from spending 12 amazing days in China. Given the 12 hour time difference, I feel a bit like the Panda in the picture below and a more detailed set of impressions will have to wait. But one thing is for sure - it’s hard to look at the world in quite the same way once have seen China first hand. Just one example: we had flawless mobile phone coverage including data everywhere we went including a boat trip down the Li River and a visit to the rice terraces of Longsheng. Hence my steady stream of foursquare checkins.
PS I am beginning to work through my email backlog. Thanks for everyone’s patience and help during this trip.

Hence my steady stream of foursquare checkins.
