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...

So I have still not switched permanently to an Android phone. The main remaining reason has been that I simply have no cell coverage in my house. With my T-Mobile Blackberry I have been able to roam seamlessly onto my Wifi network at home for several years now, using UMA. Well, T-Mobile has finally announced that they are introducing UMA for several Android models, starting with the new MyTouch and the Motorola Defy. Not sure I like either of these very much, but T-Mobile is planning to add more Android phones to the program soon (the G2 looks interesting). In addition to being convenient, it also helps save money. For instance, when I was just in London and Berlin, half the time I was making my calls over Wifi networks. If you pay an extra $10/month, all those Wifi calls are included, which sure beats international roaming.
