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.

No Tech Tuesday today, I will resume next week. I have many friends in Boston and knew several people who were in the Marathon. Whatever the police may call the investigation, as far as I am concerned this bombing was an act of terrorism. It was designed to kill randomly and instill fear and anger in the population. Our first thoughts and attention should be on victims and their families as well as the traumatized bystanders and first responders. The Boston tech community is fundraising and you can donate here. The best way not to let terrorists win is to come together as a community, reaffirm our values and most importantly to stay calm and carry on (a must-read essay by Bruce Schneier).
