Tracking the Fake GitHub Star Black Market
Goodhart's law: if you rely on a social signal to tell you what's good, you'll break that signal.<p>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?
