lagerskoy(@lagerskoy):Why pay a mechanic $1,000/month when a robot costs $5,000 once? Factories were first. Warehouses came next. Now robots are showing up in auto repair shops. The scary part isn't that they can hold tools. It's that they're already changing tires, working under lifts, carrying engines, and doing jobs that used to require years of training. Most people still think humanoid robots are a tech demo. Meanwhile companies are figuring out the math: one salary every month, or one machine that works every day. The robot economy won't arrive overnight. But when businesses realize a $5,000-$10,000 robot can replace thousands in labor costs, adoption won't be gradual. It'll be explosive.
