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 we are having our annual portfolio company summit. We bring together folks from all our investments for a day in New York City. It is an awesome opportunity for all of us to learn from each other. Given our strong focus, almost all of the companies face similar issues. For instance every one needs to worry about SEO. But we also have enough breadth to have real experts on every topic. Wondering what your iPhone strategy should be? Talk to the folks from Pinch Media. Curious about what is happening to apps on social networks? Hear first hand from Zynga. Confused about keyword pricing? Check in with the team from Clickable. What’s great about holding a one day in-person event is that it gives enough time for networking and contact so that ongoing questions can be handled by email and online. Of course the people who learn the most are us and we are grateful for it.
