A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

In the blog post, Daniel does discuss why that is a heavy handed approach:
If only there were an internet programmable money layer….
Really, this is a simple program that could be written on any number of decentralized financial networks. No custodian of the money is required.
It’s a shame everyone rolls their eyes when you mention a programmable money solution tho. Crypto bros really fucked themselves there with all the grifting
I read that as including human interaction as part of the pain point. They already offer bounties, so they're doing some money management as it is, but the human element becomes very different when you want up-front money from EVERYONE. When an actual human's report is rejected, that human will resent getting 'robbed'. It is much easier to get people to goof around for free than to charge THEM to do work for YOU. You might offer a refund on the charge later, but you'll lose a ton of testers as soon as they have to pay.
That said, the blog's link to sample AI slop bugs immediately showed how much time humans are being forced to waste on bad reports. I'd burn out fast if I had to examine and reply about all those bogus reports.
