I definitely think the idea that validation is becoming costlier than production carries weight. It might be a helpful concept for thinking through the future of society under AI

This has always been the case with code review though. I've had pull requests with very clean 1 line changed... that silently created 50 edge case vulns that would have been exploitable.

Not everything is symmetrical in nature. Asymmetry is just extremely aggravated now.

What's funny is that it sounds like a labor theory of value for content -- the content is only worthwhile if someone spent time on it. I react strongly to this and think shouldn't the content be the measure? If it is interesting and meaningful, wouldn't I want to read it even if it was just a prompt?

Of course, perhaps what I want then is to read the prompt.

This is something I've heard @k00b say a number of times, that we should find someway to get the slop posters to post their prompts because those at least might be interesting.

Mmm, well I'm not saying that I think the value of the content is based on how much effort put into it.

More like, it's easier than ever to spam content that on the surface looks like it meets the quality standard, but when you dig deeper it doesn't. The capacity to verify what's truly good and what isn't is gonna be a major bottleneck going forward
