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...

Years ago I had a run-in with carpal tunnel syndrome. I stopped typing for a while altogether and then switched to a split keyboard and eased back into typing as slowly as I could. Thankfully the pain went away. After some time without problems I got sloppy, put away the split keyboard and happily banged away on the keyboard of my MacBook. Fast forward: towards the end of last week the problems in might right hand returned with a vengeance.
So now I am back to:
(A) Minimal typing, which means even shorter / no email replies (sorry) and shorter / no blog posts (bummer).
(B) Looking for the most efficient way to dictate text. Voice input on my Android is reporting a “Server Problem” - is anyone else seeing this?
© Wondering whether for travel I should switch from my latpop to an iPad and if I can get a split travel keyboard such as the Goldtouch to work with it.
Any and all other suggestions are welcome here, as not being able to type quickly / at all really makes my job a lot harder.
