A repost makes the case that video games are no longer “useless” if they can be turned into training data for AI.
- The post says micro1 is paying people the equivalent of a $170K salary to play video games.
- The claim is that gamers are creating valuable reinforcement-learning environments needed to train advanced AI systems.
- The punchline is the reversal of the old “do something useful” advice: gaming skills can now be monetized as AI training work.
