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...

One of the things we have been emphasizing in homeschooling our children is the importance of giving back. So I am incredibly thrilled that our daughter has launched a Crowdrise fundraiser to support girls at schools in the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Lewa was one of the places we visited on our trip to Africa earlier this year and we spent a day visiting one of the schools.
The funds will help with various initiatives at the school aimed at keeping girls in school. At present the number of girls enrolled in school starts to decline rapidly after 5th grade. Katie is selling photographs she took in Africa (you can see some of her pictures on the Crowdrise page and more here) and original artwork she created. We will have a show of her work at our house next Wednesday (email me if you want an invitation).
If you are not interested in buying photographs or artwork but are interested in going for a sail, you can donate to Katie’s fundraiser through me. I will take up to five of the donors out for a sail on our J100 in the Long Island Sound.
