Goodhart's law: if you rely on a social signal to tell you what's good, you'll break that signal.

Very soon, the domain of bullshit will extend to actual text. We'll be able to buy HN comments by the thousand -- expertly wordsmithed, lucid AI comments -- and you can get them to say "this GitHub repo is the best", or "this startup is the real deal". Won't that be fun?

Next keyword: market of lemons. If you can't rely on said signals anymore, you must treat every item the same (untrusted), which drives out the legitimate players from the market. We have a lot of lemon markets, we can probably infer from them what the social result will be..
