Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 20/09/2026If you live in America you should learn enough English by the time your child is in first grade to check their spelling homework, and so on. And you should have to, not least because you can give your child much quicker feedback on what they got wrong and didn't understand. 040
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 20/09/2026You would, presumably, notice if they were graded incorrectly! I get the same sort of packet and always review it too. 260
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 20/09/2026it's baffling. I checked my daughter's homework every day since her first assignment in first grade! why are you *not* looking at your kid's schoolwork? 2171
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 19/09/2026not three months of consumption under general strike prices! 1192
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 16/09/2026Right, I understand, it's just this argument has been made since woke was a baby in the crib and I don't think it works. People really would rather be flattered and patronized than respected. 010
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 16/09/20262. At some level I guess I don't care either? Like, sure sure sure, respect for people yadda yadda, but frankly I am allowed to critically evaluate what you say whether or not I respect you. I *should* critically evaluate what you say whether or not I respect you. No deference was ever deserved! 110
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 16/09/2026So like, I believe this, but 1. I have literally never seen it convince anyone, nor any of its variations (see the recent NY Regents exam issue where a board member compared expecting black students to pass the exam to asking a fish to climb a tree). They don't care. 110
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 09/09/2026okay but the itinerant drifter had a hungarian name with a pronunciation that sounds funny in english 030
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 06/09/2026the most virtuous profession. the one time people of the same trade sat down together and conspired *for* the public. 040
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 30/08/2026I would simply not elect Donald Trump if I didn't want inane bullshit to happen every single day 1101
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 27/08/2026can be both. the incredibles whole intro sequence was about ambulance chasers. then they did it again with up. 030
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 25/08/2026I would be satisfied with "their after-the-fact supervision of officer use results in everyone getting punished" even if it meant we head a steady stream of such cases 110
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 25/08/2026idk, we're hearing about it because they're getting in trouble for it, I don't see why the news coverage would be particularly informative 110
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 25/08/2026also zero ambiguity about whether it will be renewed 110
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 18/08/2026The other half of this is that "other people are also just as fraudulent" is such an incredibly weak defense of a fraud, even if it were true. OK, so, does that mean he's supposed to get away with it? 2272
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 12/08/2026How is it secret in any way? Isn't that the explicit purpose? 120
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 10/08/2026I was under the impression he had a pretty solid female fan contingent as far as these things go, especially for Mistborn 230
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 10/08/2026why would I ever play an "average" game if I'm not limited to whatever happens to be in stock at Best Buy? 020
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 09/08/2026swap out 2 elements of your sentence and that describes 5-10 different events of the past 2 decades 120
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 07/08/2026like five people ever in the history of § 401(k) have taken a 401(k) loan for an unexpected $5k expense 070
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 05/08/2026we have nearly universal access to unsecured credit, if "boots theory" were true then it would be easy to just buy the boots 020
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 03/08/2026we've limited it to "the 4yo watches it for three minutes during teethbrushing at night" 010
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 02/08/2026changing the flag will send a nontrivial subset of Americans into a lifelong incandescent rage 5131
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 23/07/2026... and they get grilled on whether they used AI for any part of the development of the tool and if so they get warned and can't post it. One result is that the number of new tools posted has plummeted relative to pre-AI. 010
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 23/07/2026... they got rid of the channels and banned AI generally, to now having an extreme anti-AI stance where any positive mention of AI at all is a rules violation. It's a TTRPG-related community so people occasionally wander in saying "hey look I made this tool" (character builder or whatever)... 120
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 23/07/2026I'm in one particular community on discord that's still thoroughly Woke 1.0 and they started off segregating AI-generated stuff into a dedicated channel (while prohibiting AI discussion otherwise because it caused fights), to complaints that this made them look pro-AI so... 120

Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 30/06/2026oh oops I meant to link this one although both paint a more interesting picture www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1ZB...youtube.comLife's Too Short (Outtake)YouTube video by Kristen Anderson-Lopez - Topic 120
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 29/06/2026the second disk of the frozen OST has songs from a much earlier plot and I'm convinced they would have made for a much better movie youtu.be/66MQPWZ-n0g?...youtu.be5. More Than Just the Spare (Outtake) - Frozen (OST)YouTube video by Rose Red 140
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 22/06/2026my firm actually had a requirement that all teams be dispersed across offices pre-covid (to prevent the development of office cultures) which made the transition a lot easier 010
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 18/06/2026("Why have the screen at all then?" and the answer is that a giant screen is a MUCH nicer navigation experience.) 010
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 18/06/2026I like mine. In particular, better automation in the car (eg smarter wipers and AC settings, voice operated media player and navigation) can obviate most of the things I would use physical buttons for in the first place. 230
Alex Godofsky @alex.godofsky.social · 14/06/2026coding obsolete by EOY no, direct LLM->ASM sure? I mean you can do that now. 010
