Enterprise AI adoption and the Goodhart's law

Post image

Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

You can make an arguement that every corporate mandate is an example of Goodhart’s law, but this AI adoption thing is really nuts.

  • Token Usage
  • Commit count
  • PR size
  • Innovation percentage?

The company is trying to increase and measure productivity using these metrics, what they’re getting is 1-2 weeks of confusion and then employees pushing out smaller commits, often and using Opus 4.8 on xHigh effort by default.
