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...

Writing this on a flight back from Vegas where Susan and I just attended Day 1 of the Women 2.0 conference – I will write a longer blog post about that when not crammed into an economy class seat on Delta. The trip was another reminder of my love-hate relationship with Vegas. It is quintessentially American and condenses its best and worst.
It was built by gangsters and used to be run by them – now they have gone corporate. There is fantastic entertainment starting with the Cirque du Soleil shows. It is probably the least sustainable city (in the US) – huge fountains in front of the Bellagio in the desert. It appears soul sucking for many people working there, yet many of visitors are having a great time.
And then there is the latest entry in the love column: Tony Hsieh’s ultra ambitious downtown project which I first wrote about in the middle of last year. Unfortunately we did not make it down there but Tony gave a great update at the conference. The progress sounds amazing and so I suspect I will be coming back to Vegas soon to check it out in person.
What do you love and/or hate about Vegas?
