@0xleanup $19k/month from a woman who has never touched a tree. Insane.

[rallyjem @rallyjem]

YES, IT'S WORSE AT THIS THAN A KID WITH A HOSE. IT ALSO COST $16,000 ONCE, AND THIS IS THE WORST IT WILL EVER BE.

Every comment under this clip says the same three things. Slow. Clumsy. Pointless. All of them are true.

A lawn tech costs that much in five months, and then keeps costing it every five months after.

This thing dragged a hose across a sidewalk in public, badly, and went back inside to get an update. The guy holding the phone got older instead.

Nobody is replacing a crew with this version. They're replacing them with the fourth one, and everybody laughing at this clip won't see that one coming.

A ROPE CREW CHARGED $9,000 TO CLEAN THIS TOWER. HE BOUGHT THE $34,000 ROBOT AND IT DOESN'T CARE HOW HIGH IT IS.

Nobody got laid off. The second harness just goes up empty now.

Look at it in the wind. No flinch, no reset, no waiting for the gust to pass. Twenty-eight floors up, and there's nothing in it that can be afraid.

Same $9,000 a building, same as every outfit in the city. It paid for itself on the fourth tower.

Rope access was supposed to be untouchable. Too dangerous, too skilled, too few people willing. The willing part was the whole job.

They weren't being paid for the squeegee. They were being paid for the fall, and nobody's falling anymore.

FOUR LINE COOKS COST HIM $19,000 A MONTH. THE ROBOT COST $36,000 ONCE AND IT WORKS THE WHOLE LINE ALONE.

Nobody walked out. There was just nothing left to schedule them for.

Watch both arms. Wok in one, griddle in the other, different speeds, same second. No human on earth does that, and no human ever asked to.

Menu prices didn't drop a cent. It paid for itself before the second month's payroll would have run.

Cooking was supposed to be safe. Too hot, too fast, too much feel. Turns out the feel was the cheap part. The payroll was the expensive part.

@oxywat0 The numbers speak for themselves.

A TWO-MAN CREW CHARGED $2,200 TO BOARD OUT AN APARTMENT. HE BOUGHT THE $34,000 ROBOT AND IT HANGS CEILINGS BY ITSELF.

Nobody got fired. The second man just stopped being necessary.

You cannot hang a ceiling alone. That was the whole reason the job paid two wages. Watch the arm. It doesn't drop a millimeter.

Same $2,200 quote, same as every outfit in town. It paid for itself on apartment sixteen.

The hangers aren't losing to a robot. They're losing to the fact that half the crew was only ever there to hold something up.

@0xleanup Hard to argue with that.

[rallyjem @rallyjem]

@woxiccq And it's only speeding up.

@0xleanup Branding beats another boring company post

@woxiccq Smart marketing beats bigger ad budgets

A BOOTH MODEL COST $1,400 A DAY. THIS ONE COST $38,000 ONCE AND SHE HASN'T ASKED FOR A BREAK SINCE.

Nobody got replaced overnight. The bookings just stopped.

Same day rate the agency always charged. Twenty-eight booked days and she'd paid for herself.

A face was supposed to be the one thing you couldn't order in bulk. Look behind her. There's a row of them, same jaw, same smile.

The models aren't losing to a robot. They're losing to the man who only had to buy the face once.

@0xleanup The leverage comes from assets, not hours worked.

A DEMO CREW CHARGED $3,800 TO GUT AN APARTMENT. HE BOUGHT THE $31,000 ROBOT AND DID NINE OF THEM LAST MONTH.

Nobody got laid off. The calls just stopped coming.

Old way: three men, two days, respirators, and a comp claim waiting to happen. That thing swings all night in a room full of silica dust and doesn't have lungs.

He still quotes $3,800, same as every outfit in the city. The difference is nobody splits it with him and nobody files anything against him.

It paid for itself on the ninth job. That was month one.

Swinging a hammer was supposed to be the safe job. Too rough, too unpredictable, too cheap to bother automating. It went first, and it went for exactly that reason.

The crews aren't losing to a robot. They're losing to the fact that nobody was paying for their skill.

@oxywat0 That's usually how disruption happens—slow, then all at once.

[rallyjem @rallyjem]

@oxywat0 This is a clever example of attention-driven content

@woxiccq Standing out is becoming more valuable than looking perfect.

THREE ROBOTS. ONE $78,000 PURCHASE. THEY TILED 22 APARTMENTS LAST MONTH AND NOT ONE OF THEM ASKED WHAT THE JOB PAID.

Nobody got fired. The tilers just stopped getting called back.

Look at what they're setting. That's large format. Two men, a suction lift, and a wrecked back by fifty. These three laid it flat on the first pass, at 2am, in a building with one work lamp hanging off a wire.

He still quotes $2,400 an apartment, same as every crew in the city. The difference is nobody splits it with him.

It paid for itself on apartment thirty-three. Six weeks.

Tile was supposed to be too precise for a machine. Precise was never the hard part. The hard part was being the first man on the street willing to stop hiring.

The tilers aren't losing to a robot. They're losing to the guy who bought one.

@woxiccq The "about to leave" concept is such a smart angle.

[rallyjem @rallyjem]

THE BRAIDER CHARGED $280 AND FIVE HOURS. THE $26,000 MACHINE DOES THE SAME HEAD IN FOUR MINUTES, AND THE SHOP STILL CHARGES $280.

Nobody got fired. Their chairs just stopped getting booked.
Same braids. Same blowout. Same price as the salon across the street. The only line that changed is payroll, and that one went to zero.
Ninety-four heads in five weeks. The machine was paid off before the stylists finished arguing about whether it counted as real work.
Hair was the job that was supposed to survive. Too personal. Too much feel. Nobody would let a machine near their head.
Look at the video again. Nobody's backing away from it. They're filming it.
The woman in the chair doesn't care who did her hair. She cares that it took four minutes.
