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?

Reddit better hold their IPO soon or they'll get caught up in this. Pretty soon there will be dozens of different GPT/LLM-powered Reddit spam bots on Github. Some of them no doubt for political trolling. [1]

Phone, then ID-based verification is a stop gap, but IDV services will have to spin up to support the mass volume of verifying all humans.

[1] I kind of want to do this from an innocent / artistic perspective myself. Perhaps a bot that responds with a bunch of rhetorical questions or onomatopoeia. Then I'd scale it to the point people start noticing and feeling weirded out by it. "Is this the new Gen Alpha lingo?" Alas, I have too many other AI projects.

The Anti-AI\GPT-Detection will soon be a multi-billion dollar industry

And it'll silently remove your real posts too, faster than the horrible moderation on reddit ever could!
