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 been playing around with Microsoft’s Office Live. It seems rushed, is very rough around the edges and of course works properly only with Internet Explorer (in Firefox you don’t get the button that lets you actually edit the document). But having said that, the integration with the native office applications is attractive. The open and save dialogs can now access shared workspace documents as if they were on a local drive. The key thing I want to see next is how conflicts between different versions of a document are handled. That will be where the “rubber hits the road.” More to come.
