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...

In January I posted about staying fit (http://continuations.com/post/347328558/staying-fit) and mentioned that we started family yoga on weekends. While the kids’ participation has waned a bit, Susan and I have been quite consistent. In the past, I didn’t understand why some people were so fanatic about Yoga, but I am beginning to be quite the fan myself. So far I have found three benefits: First, my posture awareness has increased dramatically. Now when I slump my shoulders, I immediately notice and correct it. Second, my breathing has improved to the point where I can use it (sometimes) for relaxation. That very much came in handy this morning at the dentist when at one point I had to keep my jaw in an exact position for 5 minutes. Third, I believe that my sense of balance is getting a bit better.
