I've gotten several job listings from Indeed that require CAM programming and access to a CNC. I have both. They're offering ~$135 per hour. The catch is that you use your usual work flow, make a part that your normally would and then remotely upload the results to this company so that they can train their AI to program CNC machines. I'm very against generative AI, but wow is that a lot of money for a 1 year contract. It took me 16 years to get good. Another 4 to make my own shop. But around 300k a year? It makes it hard. I'd love to know what other machinists think about this kind of thing.
