Ah, crap. If I’d noticed this sooner, I might not have made the post I just made, which is somewhat redundant. But perhaps if anybody wants a more mechanical model of how these things Kaj points out can come to be, they might like reading the post on Goodhart and microhedonics.
No, it’s an important but counterintuitive topic, and counterintuitive topics need a lot of explanations from many different angles before people really internalize how they actually work. :) Plus, going into more mechanistic detail rather than just doing my vague handwaving-plus-a-million-links is super-valuable. Thank you for writing your post!

Thanks, Kaj.
