I was responding specifically to the machine learning version of your proposal. My contention is that for a community that’s the size of LW, using machine learning to solve this seems a bit like killing a rat with a nuclear bomb. I also suspect that using an institution where all of the important decisions are made by humans is more likely to lead to knowledge that can reapplied outside of the context of an online forum.
