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...

The team at Twilio has done an amazing job making telephony accessible to developers. Making and accepting calls, as well as sending and receiving texts is now as easy as a couple of lines of code. The simplicity of Twilio’s API is such that most developers are literally up and running within minutes. At the same time because of the ingenious REST API which makes calls and messages addressable, there is no limit to the complexity of the applications that can be created using Twilio.
Now Twilio is starting a whole new chapter: extending the power and simplicity of the Twilio platform to web and mobile clients. You can now build audio communications right into you web site or iPhone or Android application. As on the server this is simply a matter of a couple of lines of Javascript (or ObjectiveC or Java). And because the audio pipe connects to Twilio’s servers exactly the same code that deals with phone calls and text messages can be used to handle Twilio client communications. So the full power of Twilio’s platform is available. Twilio client and traditional communications can be used interchangeably and fully integrated with each other.
In typical Twilio fashion you can try Twilio client right from the product home page. So head on over there and try it out!
