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.

Late in 2016 I wrote a blog post titled “Voice Platforms: Open Alternative is an Opportunity.” At the time I learned about a project called Mycroft. This project has just launched its second version, the Mark II, on Kickstarter. If you want voice in your home but are weary of Amazon and Google (and the other tech giants), this looks like an interesting alternative. Here is their intro video, which is super funny in a self deprecating way:
I just went ahead and backed the project and look forward to trying out the Mark II at home. I don’t know how many users such a platform will need to be viable but we won’t know unless we try!
