Does it make sense that people who are engineers and are good at developing automation have the chance to make more money than someone who does a job that needs 1 human to do that job? I'm just wondering what are the pros / cons / struggles / benefits if you go this route of developing AI / autonomy as your career.
I know someone who loves playing at the arcade and is insists to make most of his income from it reselling prizes. Even though he is good, it's not sustainable, and I do not know of an advantage player who can truly survive financially playing arcade games. Maybe it was once possible but now it's mainly just a fun hobby that has a good return but not something you should rely on to pay $1200 month rent in CA. The return is good, but the income if you tried hard enough could exceed a fast food job but not a premium lawyer or doctor. but the downside is that a human must be present at the arcade and there isn't enough money to go hire people or have robots to win us tickets.
Because at the end of the day, we can't use robots to win tickets and the human has to be present all the time to play those games. I know Mark Rober made arcade winning robots and I think that's super cool and he could hire people to bring his backpacks to arcades to autonomously win a bunch of tickets and resell prizes. But I'm pretty sure he will be stopped immediately because arcades don't have robots accounted for to win from them, only humans. But some arcades already hate it if an honest human player can win jackpots non stop. I heard Mark Rober got banned at the arcade he took his robot winning backpack, but there is no evidence if he redeemed prizes, which I think he didn't to avoid conflicts and just wanted to prove a point.
Which is why I like the idea of robots and paying for them, they can do stuff for you indefinitely in exchange that you put in the work to have it work perfectly. Which is what I do with my spreadsheets for the arcade. I do the work once, and I enter a starting & ending balance and it does several calculations all at once in less than a second. I wish it was more automated like maybe my spreadsheet could tap into the D&B servers and get me more data but I have to do everything manually. Which then, is there a way to potentially sell my data because Samsung TVs been doing this for a while, they sell TVs cheap then make up the money later with selling data.
