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...

Fred has a post today titled “Mobile First, Web Second” http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/11/mobile-first-web-second-continued.html which is spot on. There is an important additional reason for pursuing this strategy: on the web everything is about displacement, on mobile there is still mostly open space. The vast majority of people are yet to settle into the apps that they will use every day on their mobiles. That makes it much easier for a new app to grow to millions of regular users than for a site to achieve millions of regular visitors. Naval Ravikant captured this wonderfully the other day with this tweet “Web is the new offline. Mobile is the new online” (born out of slip in the Heyzap board meeting). So if you are starting something new, definitely think mobile first.
