Very interesting methodology, but the sample size (16) is way too low. Would love to see this repeated with more participants.

They paid the developers about $75k in total to do this so I wouldn't hold your breath!

Go back in time, create a popular github repo with lots of stars, be lucky.

I see these things posted on linkedin. Usually asking $40/hr though. But essentially the same thing as the OP outlines: you do some domain related task assigned either with or without an AI tool. Check linked in. They will have really vague titles like "data scientist" though even though that's not what is being described, its study subject. Maybe set 40/hr as a filter on linkedin and see if you can get a few to come up.
