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.

Santo Politi on why Spark created their Start@Spark seed program. Since I believe that there is no such thing as too much seed capital I am happy to see another source on the East Coast (especially given that YCombinator is now West Coast only).
