No. First off, "reward" is not just about the money[0]. The job presented on this site, on the other hand, due to the encryption, is motivated purely and entirely by monetary reward. Everything else is shielded. In fact I'd say this job is quite uniquely, extremely, only about the money. Even when compared to other kinds sweet/lucrative, perhaps "stupid lucky" jobs you may find, that may require 60 hours mindlessly pushing papers, yet paid extremely well. I'd be hard-pressed to come up with any hypothetical kind of job could be more sharply, singularly focussed on the "do extremely-intelligent-monkey-dance, receive ample bio-survival-tickets" to the exclusion of any other meaning or fulfilment than this Encrypted Machine Lottery/Learning/Sudoku. Second, I could be wrong (or too optimistic) but I'd hope that most "very intelligent" people demand more nourishing reward than just money to regularly put in more than 40h/wk. You can do this for research and advancement of science, or maybe because one considers the work itself a net positive to society, or maybe you chose to sacrifice those hours of your life to support loved ones, maybe there's some deep personal reward in it, or maybe it's temporary and you're saving for something rewarding. But to pretend just money is enough to waste your life on, hey it's a choice, but I'm going to have to see you turn in your "very intelligent"-card. On the other hand, there will be exceptions. Some people don't care, just want to maximize $$$ for the least amount of effort/hours of one's life, regardless of side-effects. This website does not fill a niche for these people. If you are extremely intelligent, just want money and don't care about moral aspects, there's always been plenty "business opportunities" to fulfil these particular needs. Finally, if one would argue, but this job isn't quite explicitly "badwrong" like those others. I'd suggest to think it through: On the one hand, a (possibly) well-paying job that is designed from the bottom up to have no way of determining whether it has a net positive or negative external effect besides the money it pays you. On the other hand, literally anything else you could do with your time. I can see people trying this for a short time, as a funny puzzle, at most. [0] I don't mean this one, but because I still think it's funny, I'll point out the way-too-easy retort here: this says something (not terribly good) about you. (j/k) |
