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 still in Europe now for a few days of skiing with some friends. Since I am also trying to get some work done at the same time, posts will continue to be super short. Today’s post is simply a suggestion to read this three part series by the Washington Post on the impact of technology on jobs. And then also read this post on Zero Hedge which focuses on a different aspect of the economy: the growth of profits in the financial sector fueled by cheap credit from the Fed. I hadn’t thought about this before but clearly that’s an important contributor to the rise of inequality. All of this explains why there is a resurgence of interest in Karl Marx.
