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...

I have argued in the past that we need an Internet Bill of Rights. If anyone doubted that, then they should look at what has been happening at and around the eG8 summit. There have been many great tweets from people there and around the world.
The two that summarize the situation best for me are first Jeff Jarvis tweeting that
At # eG8, government acts as if it should protect us from the internet. Instead, the internet needs protection from government.
And then this wonderful response by Scott Perry (whom I did not know previously but now follow)
@jeffjarvis @cbarrett: truth is, the government wants protection from the internet.
Together these perfectly capture the important fight over the future of the Internet that we are now in.
In an upcoming post I will articulate what I believe the Internet Bill of Rights should look like. Would love to hear what everyone else thinks should be in there!
