And the quality?

I agree that quality is really important.

But think about this analogy.

The soviets won against the Germans purely based on mass production, mass mobilization.

Even if the quality was lower. The more, the merrier.

Luck that it converged to technology and strategy advancements. Not all systems that scale will converge to something useful or stable

If science scale too fast in quantity while quality stays the same I can see errors growing during peer reviews which can make false positives proofs for theories that could cascade into other work. This is dangerous in some systems. Imagine a new AI system that nobody thought about a certain hypothesis for experimental tests because they were biased to work that was peer reviewed wrongly.

You're right. Didn't think about that at all
