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...

This is the first post in an occasional series on negotiating. Imagine yourself in a situation where a clear bid and ask have been established on an important and potentially contentious deal point (e.g. vesting of founders shares). Now the other side proposes a compromise. The best strategy here is to listen to the compromise proposal but not react to it immediately unless you are 120% certain that the compromise works for you. Why? Because agreeing to a compromise and then coming back with additional requests on that point can have the same results as eating “just one [more] little wafer thin mint.”
