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.

Much like everyone else I woke up this morning to the news that David Bowie has passed away. I was not an ardent Bowie fan but had always been impressed by just how innovative he was, not just musically but in his entire persona. He also pioneered the celebrity bond by bundling up his future royalty streams in 1997.
What made me fall in love though with Bowie was his opening performance at the Concert for New York City. It is easy to forget but that concert took place less than 6 weeks after the 9/11 attacks. I was admittedly skeptical about having a concert at all but I was completely blown away by Bowie’s minimalist opening. I have not been able to find a great video of it but here is one
