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?

The scary part is that this doesn't seem too far off, with the current proliferation of large language models like the GPTs..

Parent was definitely not referring to these at all /s

(I ninja-edited my comment in the first minute; the parent might have responded to a less clear version, since they posted at +3 minutes. I added "AI" in a revision).

If you want to, you can always set 'delay' in your profile to the number of minutes (up to 10) that you would like your comments to be visible only to you. This puts the stealth back in stealth editing. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

I rely heavily on this because it's somehow only after the comment is 'real' (i.e. staring back at me from a real HN thread) that I notice most of the edits I want to make.
