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 meeting with a bunch of folks from a major ad agency today to talk about the future of the web. This is of course one of my favorite topics! Here are some of the highlights of what I am planning to cover:
You ain’t seen nothing yet: expect deep transformation of many industries including advertising
A brief history of newspapers as illustration of the forces at work
Disruption from unbundling and distributed content generation
AdOne (the old one) vs Craigslist
Indeed vs traditional job boards
Command and control versus decentralization and ownership
Examples from our portfolio: Etsy, Covestor
Implications for advertising
Importance of net neutrality for innovation
I have been giving variants of this talk for about a year. I do it entirely without slides and make it interactive (and, I hope, engaging). There is something especially fun about giving a talk about the future but doing it in the most old fashioned way possible.
