Thank you very much for sharing, I didn’t know that platform before! Looks like a great initiative and the science article is also very inspired. The failure mode I see is that they might be aiming too broad—realistically for this to take off you might want to start with a small group of very devoted users who can also benefit from the effort they invest? But finding that group poses a different set of problems, of course.
Regarding the “living wage” argument—thank you for calling me out on that, I crossed the line into science fiction there.

Just found an article by Robin Hanson from 1990 on this topic: http://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/gamble.html I didn’t realize that the idea had been around for that long!
