The tech industry is Goodhart's law-ing society.

  • The tech industry is Goodhart's law-ing society.
    • Because it's not thinking through the implications of its actions.
    • It doesn't believe in the collective, only the individual.
    • The tech mindset assumes "if a thing is short-term good for me it's also on net long-term good for society".
    • But that's absolutely not the default case.
    • The individual and the collective can never have their interests perfectly aligned.
