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 a heartening display of speed and preparedness, the Obama transition team rolled out Change.gov a day after the election. This is the kind of foresight that we need and was sorely missing over the last 8 years. It is a simple site for now that lays out the agenda for the incoming administration. Importantly though it already sounds a key theme of citizen responsibility and service.
President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.
We, the people, are the number 1 resource that the country has and getting everyone to contribute will be critical. It was great to hear that theme in Obama’s speech on the night of the election and to see it emerging now during the transition. Change.gov already has a section for citizens to share their stories and vision for the country. While cynics will surely decry this as a meaningles social media trick, I believe that giving folks a voice is an important step in turning fear and worry into engagement and action.
