not really a prince. Unabashedly progressive; “anti-corporatist” is my overarching philosophy.
“…the makers of AI aren’t damned by their failures, they’re damned by their goals.” I’m an AI hater too.
Great post about generative AI. Happy Holidays. Don't say I never gave you anything. anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice.

Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

The tl;dr before you get into this post is this: the SFWA came out, said that some AI usage was okay enough in books for the authors of those books to not to be disqualified from winning a Nebula a…

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

This post is about healthcare.

Today computers can write new computer programs in seconds, but fifteen years after buying my first iPhone, iOS still autocorrects my fucking name. Make it make sense.

PSA: Start up your Web-enabled IoT cooking devices this weekend so a week from today you’re not explaining to your guests that there’s no turkey because AWS went down & Cloudflare ate your device updates.

I am utterly convinced that one of the great generational tasks set before us is to crush the societal impulse to be controlling and withholding, to tie strings to every gift, to means-test and gatekeep and tattle and scold. We must drive this stone-hearted shit out of public life.
If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

There’s a place — and a need — for everyone in the movement, even schmucks like David Brooks. Another banger from @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social.

Trans rights are human rights.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Love this. Reminds me of that scene in the Sopranos when the goombas go ham on the statue protestors — sorry, paisan, you’re gonna have to take the L on this one!
Me: You don’t have Columbus Day off?
Wife: No.
13yo: What’s Columbus Day?
Wife: Indigenous people day.
13yo: oh, we have that off. Sorry you don’t mommy. Daddy, did you know Christopher Columbus sucked?
Me: :).

It’s a big world & there’s room for everyone.
I guess this obligates you to rank the solo Joan version. I like this video where she's reading her children's book telling the song as her story, and her partner John Doe is standing by in support. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNgi...

@volts.wtf had this topic on his Volts podcast a few years ago, about to enforce compliance when regulated companies don’t meet their obligations: You make SMITING the enforcement mechanism (not “aw gee, do better next time, here’s a $10 fine”) & then you SMITE. Smite smite smite!
The regime is acting this way because there are no consequences so it is clear that consequences—the development of them, the advocacy for them, the imposition on bad behavior—are the answer to our crisis.
