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...

I am a huge fan of Dan Ariely’s writing because I believe it makes behavioral economics relevant to every day business decision making. I have just finished the first two chapters of his new book “The Upside of Irrationality” and can already strongly recommend it. Chapter 2 in particular is be a must read for anyone who manages people but in particular for folks who manage engineers. In it, Dan describes a series of experiments involving MIT students building with Legos that are cunningly conceived and amazingly clear in their implications. It is worth reading because the evidence is not just compelling statistically but also convincingly told by Dan. If you want the three word summary: deploy, deploy, deploy.
