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.

I have sadly reached a point, where two things are happening with email despite my best efforts.
First, I often write very short answers to emails. These answers could easily be perceived as rude even though that is not the intention. I remember that in the past it used to bug me a bit getting these really short replies back from people and now here I am doing it myself. The reason this happens is because I try to reply to certain emails right when I see them instead of letting them get pushed down in the “stream." these are generally emails that I would be unlikely to get back to otherwise and so it seems to come down to a choice between answering them very quickly (e.g. between meetings) or not answering them at all.
Second, even despite my best efforts and super short replies to some emails there are still messages that go unanswered altogether. This bugs me even more but I just don’t see a way anymore of answering everything that hits my inbox and theoretically should get an answer. Apologies to all affected by both of these!
