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 am thrilled that Jack Hidary is running for Mayor of New York City! There are many things that set Jack apart from the field of candidates, but three stand out as critical to me:
1. Jack understands technology and its importance for how a modern city should operate and what kind of opportunities it creates. Compare that for example to Anthony Weiner’s comments about Makerbot and Uber.
2. Jack champions entrepreneurship and project based learning as critical to solving many of the issues we face instead of more government programs and high stakes testing. These are both issues I care deeply about.
3. Jack is running as an independent and is not beholden to traditional party line interests. For reference, here are all the candidates.
I have known Jack personally since the late 90s when he was one of the early successful Internet entrepreneurs in New York. Since then he has shown a steadfast commitment to public service, for instance helping to bring hybrid taxis to the city.
Unlike Mike Bloomberg, Jack is not a billionaire. So he will need the support of individuals like you and me. If you like having an independent tech savvy alternative in the race, you should contribute to Jack’s campaign.
