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 both a Kindle and an iPad and don’t see the latter replacing the former. They solve different problems for me, at least so far. I use the iPad primarily for browsing the web. Around the house (eg breakfast table, in bed) it is much nicer for that than having a laptop open and the Kindle is a non-starter for browsing. When it comes to reading books though the Kindle will remain my weapon of choice. It is lighter and easier to hold (and carry along in addition to my laptop). It has great battery life. And the e-ink display is wonderful for reading longer stretches. On top of it all I can use the Kindle apps on all my devices for moments of reading when I don’t have my Kindle with me. So my Kindle has nothing to worry about from my iPad.
