Totally hear you. $8/hr is steep, and I’ve hit that wall too.

My hypothesis is that we might find weird edge-cases — small arbitrage tasks, emotional labor, creative content, or even hustling donations — where the agent survives not by being efficient, but by being novel.

It might not scale. But if one survives for 3 days doing random TikTok reposts or selling AI-generated stock photos, I’d consider that a win.

Also, part of the fun is just watching how it tries. Even if it fails, the failure modes could be insightful (or hilarious).
