Are you sure that all problems we’re facing are necessarily difficult in this he sort of way a non-expert would be bad at? I don’t have the time right now to search through past bounties, but I remember a number of them involved fairly simple testable theories which would simply take a lot of time and effort, but not expertise.
I can’t think of any problem area where I’d be excited to actively hire a ton of people without vetting or supervision, but I agree that just because I can’t think of one doesn’t mean that one doesn’t exist.
Also, as you and others mention, giving out prizes our bounties could work well if you have an area where you could easily evaluate the quality of a piece of work.
