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.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?
