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.

Since I am still a bit typing challenged (but thankfully much improved), today here are two links to posts worth reading. The first is Vinod Khosla’s “The ‘Unhyped’ New Areas in Internet and Mobile.” While I may not agree with each of the twelve areas they all seem directionally interesting and Khosla does a great job distinguishing them from the more generic mobile and cloud which he characterizes as enabling technologies. The second is Jerry Colonna’s guest post over at AVC on “The Crucible of Leadership.” Jerry reminds us that leadership starts with knowing ourselves. And that crises are the perfect moments to know ourselves. Jerry’s blog “The Monster In Your Head” has a lot more of his terrific wrting.
