Renting robots at $1-10 an hour instead of selling them is the obvious sales and revenue maximization strategy
Client can say “we’re paying humans $30 all in for this work and they make mistakes, sue us and quit — paying $10 an hour makes this ‘set it and forget it’ for the company”
This value proposition is going to be so compelling it will race through all physical human labor like a wildfire over of the next decade.”
The idea that human will work in a factory, drive a car or do construction will seem unfathomable in 20 years.
Will be as hard to imagine as taking a steamer to cross the Atlantic Ocean for six days instead of taking a flight for six hours.
That’s 35m jobs, or 1 in 5 working Americans who will have their jobs retired over the next two decades.
That’s a lot of jobs to replace, but we will figure it out

It feels like robotics is starting to look a lot more like cloud computing.
