Would it make sense to try to figure out human values with recommender systems? Why or why not? How could this be done?

Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed it!
I will copy a lil post on an utopia idea I had some time ago here as it seems relevant enough. I think it can also address concern of some commenter utopias being boring.
It is not written in a careful LW style so add caveats as you read.

utopias are hard to imagine. some resort to saying that utopia would be so great that we can not even copmrehend how. there are no words or concepts in our language to begin to desribe it. I'll try nevertheless.

think the title and framing about what EA leadership should do is not really a good fit for frontpage?
Would it have made a difference if, instead of referring to EA leadership, the post had said "we should sound the alarm" (as in readers/LW/EAs)?
The drug is still available today, though not much used for alcoholism except in Denmark, where it's widely prescribed.
This is not quite true. Disulfiram is currently used in Russia (and other former USSR countries) to treat alcohol addiction. (Random clinic website that offers disulfiram implants for ~$200.)

Also in the 90s disulfiram apparently was used to treat alcohol addiction in a quite questionable form:
Coding (kodirovanie) is a catch-all term for various Russian alternative therapeutic methods used to treat addictions, in which the therapist attempts to scare patients into abstinence from a substance they are addicted to by convincing them that they will be harmed or killed if they use it again.

I actually liked the first example being unfamiliar with poker — it was highlighting form not the content.
