If there's an algorithm in charge of optimizing, it will be gamed. If there's a single algorithm controlling a large population, it'll be catastrophically gamed

- piva00 6y agoThere is a more general rule than that, I would tie that to Goodhart's law/adage "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure". It's similar here, when an algorithm is in charge of optimisation it has its heuristics, they will be gamed as they are measures that became a target.
