I see internal links on authoritative sites devalued significantly more.

I see the most anchor text trash since pre-florida -- completely worthless sites based on thousands of anchor text links from blogs. (As well as many sub-domain redirects.)

These two factors do demonstrate a difference between now and the poor serps of last summer... getting tons of blog links works now, but making thousands of internal pages works much less well. In terms of which garbage is worse, I'd rather see internal crap links valued more than blog spamming. That is the dregs.

Of course it would be better if internal linking of quality domains would be valued, since building deep, content-rich domains has been the mantra of Google for some time now. The current "scraper algorithm" is diametrically opposed to that though.

The brave new world of seo... the hunt for PR2 links is on!
