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...

With so much infrastructure to build on, we are seeing smaller and smaller teams achieve amazing things. The combination of someone with a great product sense and one or two exceptional engineers can build and launch a new product or service. Many startups prove this every day. And the various accelerator programs such a YCombinator and TechStars have done a terrific job promoting the entrepreneurial opportunity that this represents. But what about folks who are awesome but don’t want to go the route of having their own startup? There might be an opportunity that’s quite different from the existing recruiting model in which someone represents engineering and product talent in more of an agency model. The biggest challenge would be the cash flow because most of the upside would be in getting a small cut of equity from placing the teams which might take a long time before it results in any liquidity. So it would have to be someone who is in a position to be quite patient. But over time this could grow to become quite powerful.
