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...

My trusty Panasonic CF-W2 is now 5 years old and I am worried that the disk will give out any day (backing up frequently). I tend to buy computers a bit ahead of the curve – even though that means paying up a bit – and then keep them until they start to fall apart. My next machine will have a solid state drive for sure. Finally no more moving parts and hopefully no more disk failures. I am seriously considering switching to a Mac now that there is finally a lightweight machine. I wish that Panasonic would offer the otherwise insanely awesome CF-W7 with a SSD. I will also investigate the Lenovo X300.
