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?

Who says this isn't already happening?

I just tried to find a FOSS tool for converting MS Outlook .pst file to .mbox.

I first tried Google; the results are dominating by commercial crap.

Then I tried the "google reddit" trick to try and find some real people's opinions... but look at all the blatantly bullshit comments on this Reddit thread; https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/ae4cdg/good_ps...

(if anyone is wondering, the best option for Windows is to use 'readpst' command via WSL. Comes in the 'pst-utils' package).

I'm blind maybe, but what are the blatantly bullshit comments? The spam of PST to MBOX?

>>deafpo+nq
Yes and if you look at the comment history of the posters in that thread, it is clear they are all spam accounts.
