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?

Stop making up laws. You'll do much more good dismantling existing ones. And non-social signals like # of commits, # of pull requests cannot be faked? We need signals among the noise.

Sometimes signals are noise we just need to calibrate.
