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.

We are about to go away on a three week trip. Long trips have been a wonderful aspect of homeschooling our children. We are fortunate to have the means to show them different parts of the world and this year we are going to Southeast Asia, which will also be new to Susan and myself.
During our travels I also tend to detox from the Internet and find time to read. I already have a couple of books with me about the region we are going to, but am looking for a few more recommendations (I will also be reading this month’s USV book club selection, “The Sellout”).
I would love to hear from people: what is the best book you have read in the last 12 months and why?
