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.

I am taking the rest of this week off (including a blogging mini-break) as my parents are in town from Germany and I rarely get to spend time with them. Last night Susan and I went to dinner with them and then to the NY Philharmonic to hear a terrific performance of Antonín Dvořák’s From the New World symphony (one of my favorites). It was a wonderful evening and also a great reminder of all the things my parents did that I am grateful for.
My parents took me to the Opera as a kid but also let me play rock music loudly at home. They took me skiing and sailing. They were the ones who encouraged me to spend a year in the US as an exchange student (and shorter stints in the UK and France before then). They paid for my Apple II and all its accessories (which were quite expensive in Germany at the time). They supported my choice to study in the US even though it was far away and they didn’t fully understand why I was excited about it.
So on this Thanksgiving: a big thanks to my parents. It’s great to have you here!
