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?

You can do it already. It's a normal order for a copywriter, nobody will bat an eye when you post an offer. It costs cents/dollars per 1000 words instead of fraction of a cent, but that's not exactly outside of reach of a funded startup.
