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...

Susan and I have been longtime supporters of the wonderful ChangeX platform: ChangeX helps spread social innovation across communities. This week ChangeX introduced a new model for donors, which they are calling Impact as a Service (IaaS). This is a bit of a tongue-in-cheek reference to Infrastructure as a Service (also IaaS). It is spot on though as the two share important characteristics:
IaaS, reduces or even eliminates the overhead of manual setup activities, allowing all participants to focus on what actually delivers value.
IaaS provides much more transparency – you can see exactly what you are paying for and what you get in return.
IaaS lets you start small and scale up.
Delivering IaaS is an important milestone for ChangeX. Paul and the team set out to build a true technology platform to make social programs more impactful and help them grow across the world. Their diligent investment is now starting to pay off, which is exciting. Congratulations to the team!
