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...

Since I am taking tomorrow and Friday off from blogging, I figured I would write about giving thanks today. I am finding a great many things to be thankful for from good health to amazing work (that frankly doesn’t feel like work at all). But the specific thing I have in mind today is giving thanks for and to the teachers in our lives. I am always encouraging our children to thank their teachers, whether it is in school or for a sport or hobby. I tell them to think ahead of time about what they have learned from that teacher so that they can say something specific. It’s not just good discipline (what did I learn?) but I remember from my Dad who was a teacher that it meant a lot to him when students thanked him. Formal teachers are not the only ones we learn from though. And so this Thanksgiving I find myself particularly grateful for the many people in my life who have effectively been teachers for me at one point or another. I am using teacher very loosely here, but I am grateful those (friends, partners, even strangers) who explain something or simply challenge an assumption that I held or didn’t even realize I held. Thanks!
