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.

Planning to turn this into a top ten list, but here is a start. The order may take some work too.
Your name becomes used as verb or noun. Biggest success here in recent memory is of course “google”, but it was nice to see a “Hail to The Twitterer” headline in the New York Times this weekend (print edition, online the article has a different title).
Your friends’ grandparents are using the service.
Your friends’ parents are using the service.
Hackers and spammers are targeting your service. Here too Twitter has made some recent “progress” as uncovered by the folks at Kaspersky.

People recommend your own service to you.
