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...

The team at BugLabs has brought a bug online with a simple ‘crowdsourced security’ app. http://www.bugblogger.com/2008/05/building-a-crow.html It’s just a few steps away from an app that I want to create with the Bug. We live on a street that goes up a slight hill to the elementary school. Lots of kids have to cross it on their way to school. Despite the 30 mph speed limit some folks zip up and down the hill going way too fast. I want to hook up a bug to some kind of speed measurement (maybe just use two bugs with motion detectors) and take a picture of every car that goes too fast, then post that image to tumblr together with the speed. If more people do stuff like that it will of course raise some interesting privacy issues. I am not sure yet how I feel about those, except to say that if you go 50 in a school zone I don’t think you can appeal to privacy.
