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 have been meaning to post about principles of cloud computing, but what is going on in the financial world and in Washington is simply too crazy. On a day where we had by far the largest bank failure in US history (WaMu seized by regulators and sold to JPMorgan) we were treated to an absurd political spectacle. Lawmakers convened at the White House to seal a deal on the bailout only to see it torpedoed by a group of Republicans. It may be hard, if not impossible to ever find out who knew what when, but the fallout from this Thursday night debacle will likely be horrendous for the financial markets today unless a deal is reached before the markets open. Have not seen what happened in Asia over night but it sure can’t be pretty.
UPDATE: Asian markets held up fairly well and Wall Street opened down but not horrendously so. Suggests that either folks are seeing this as political spectacle that will not in the end result in a deadlock without resolution or the urgency that was claimed in selling the plan was more hype than real. Hopefully this means a cloud computing blog post on Monday!
