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...

Short post today as I am on BlackBerry only and headed to Hacking Education. I just have a simple question - where is eBay? This crisis ought to be fantastic for eBay as folks are looking to unload stuff they don’t need and buy things for cheap at auction. Instead the WSJ today has one article about women selling their old clothes out of their closets and another about Amazon opening a game trading business. No mention of eBay in either article as even being a possible alternative (Craigslist mentioned in the article on clothes). Or take the ongoing coverage of the auto industry. Cars are piling up unsold not by the hundreds but by the thousands. Again no mention of eBay. They should be all over this, helping move cars through auctions before they rot into the ground. If they can’t get their marketplace strategy right, at a minimum eBay should be doing a much better job at PR.
