I tweeted this as a joke, but upon double-taking it seems really good and important. Goodhart’s law is not about metrics, is about organic/emergent retargeting of incentives.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1010929063131664384 …

Not really. The general dynamics that cause Goodhart's law are about emergent retargeting, and that's worth exploring in terms of multi-party game theoretic dynamics, but it's a much more general point than the one Goodhart himself made.
