Title: Government funded classic MAME/Arcade competitions might be in the future

I've thought about it.  AI, and the bots will eventually do everything better than humans.
So, the question becomes, what do humans do?  Sure, basic income is great, but I think people want at least the illusion of working and being productive.
So, how do you solve this problem? You create competitions. In this future a person gets a minimum amount of money simply entering a government run competition.
People will be given a certain amount for being in a competition.
Every day there's one competition you can enter.
Everyone gets a minimum of $50 for simply entering, and "competing"
The better you do in a certain competition, the more money you get.

There will be many competitions to choose from.  One of these is hopefully classic gaming competitions.
Perhaps classic gaming gets a resurgence when this becomes a reality 30 to 150 years from now?
