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...

I have been mulling over the ferocious rumors of an Apple Tablet (sorry, no links as I am on BB, but if you missed these - congrats, you were off the grid!). Really not sure what to think about it. The only device that I would consider carrying regularly outside the house in addition to a smartphone would be an eInk style reader. The reason is simple: weight. A traditional display uses a lot of power and that requires a big battery which makes the whole device heavy (and requires remembering to charge yet another device). So that suggests I would use an Apple tablet primarily in my home, unless they pull off something amazing (and I am not ruling that out). At home, however, I am hard pressed to come up with a lot of (any?) good use cases. I already have my laptop with me at home and as a fast typer really love having a keyboard. So will be interesting to see what Apple comes up with here - if anything!
