What do you mean? (What is elite overproduction too!)

• AnimalMuppet 1y ago
  "Elite overproduction" is the idea that societies have people who are "the elite" (the best and brightest) and who are rewarded for it. Societies get in trouble when too many people want to be part of the elite (with the rewards). Think, for instance, of how many people now want to go to college and get STEM degrees, whether or not they have the talent and aptitude, because that's where they hear the money is. When you get too many elites, and society doesn't have useful and rewarding places for them all, those who think they should be elites who are left out get resentful. Sometimes they try to overthrow the current elites to get their "rightful" place. This can literally lead to revolutions; it often will lead at least to social unrest. So what I think the GP is saying is, if we've got too many people with law degrees, those that submit filing with AI hallucinations in them may get disbarred, thereby reducing the overpopulation of lawyers. But that's just my guess. I also found the GP posting to be less than clear.

    > may get disbarred Doesn't this prove your post as wrong? You're not sure that this will get disbarred presumably because you haven't seen somebody get disbarred over it despite it occurring for years. The problem with elite overproduction is that the credential system is broken and awards credentials to people that don't hold a certain skill. In this case, actually producing valid legal filings.
