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?

Now is the time to cultivate friendships and to make networks that persist online, and are verified via irl meetups / contacts. People who pull that off now will be in much, much better shape in the future. GPT's output is apparent to a discernible eye right now, but according to the power law, it won't take much "novel" input to train upon to make that discernment useless. Then, the only internet community that could be dependably reliable would be your group of irl verified people.
