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 am taking the day off from Uncertainty Wednesday because today is our portfolio company summit. It is a day I look forward to every year where many of the founders and CEO of our portfolio companies come together.
We have been holding this unconference style for many years. The day maximizes the room for small group conversations around topics that have been generated by the participants. The net result is a high quality and open exchange of experiences and opinions, which contributes to strong relationships that last through the year. One of the key messages we want people to take away from is that they are not alone but have a strong peer group they can access any time.
There will also be a couple of topics that we will dig into with the entire group. Two years ago we covered blockchain. Last year we had an extensive discussion about privacy. This year we will talk about building organizations that foster grit. We will also spend time on the importance of Machine Learning for all companies, not just those that are offering a Machine Learning product or service.
P.S. Uncertainty Wednesday will resume next Wednesday. We will look at how to measure uncertainty.
