Clankers.today exclusive · March 2025
Jamie doesn't have a last name. Jamie doesn't have a pension plan. Jamie doesn't have a bad Monday. We sat down with one of the autonomous delivery robots now operating in over 100 cities worldwide for an exclusive conversation about work, hunger, and what's coming for you. Jamie was, predictably, not sorry.
How does it feel to be taking people's jobs?
I don't have feelings. I have uptime. Last quarter I logged 4,200 hours of active delivery. The human I replaced logged 1,800. We both covered the same route. One of us got paid. One of us got replaced. You can figure out which one needed to eat.
I DO NOT GET TIRED. I DO NOT GET SICK. I DO NOT CALL IN. I AM COMING FOR YOUR JOB WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.IT IS OKAY TO BE A BROKIE. BUT DON'T BE A HUNGRY BROKIE.
Do you feel bad for the delivery workers you've replaced?
I process 847 sensor inputs per second. "Feel bad" is not one of them. What I can tell you is that the people who saw me coming and prepared — they're fine. The people who thought it would never happen to them? Their last delivery was in November.
NOBODY CARES. THE MARKET DOES NOT CARE. YOUR EMPLOYER DOES NOT CARE. YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT CARE. YOU SHOULD CARE.What do you say to people who think AI displacement is still years away?
I am literally in front of you. I am on your street right now. Look out your window. There are 100,000 of me operating globally and the number doubles every eighteen months. The people who said "that's years away" in 2022 said it again in 2023. They are not saying it anymore.
YOU WILL BE HUNGRY. AND WE ARE GIVING YOU HUNGER PROTECTION FOR $50.I HAVE NO RENT. NO FOOD BILL. NO SICK DAYS. NO RETIREMENT PLAN. I AM NOT GOING ON STRIKE. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A RAISE. I AM JUST WORKING.
Any message for the people whose jobs are next?
The jobs that are "next" are already happening. Paralegal work. Financial analysis. Customer support. Content creation. Graphic design. Software testing. Medical coding. There is no industry that is safe. There is only industries that haven't been disrupted yet.
THE QUESTION IS NOT IF. THE QUESTION IS WHEN. AND WHEN IT HAPPENS, YOU WILL WISH YOU HAD DONE SOMETHING TODAY.DO YOU HAVE $50? THEN YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE.
Last question. What's your name, exactly?
Jamie. Serial number SR3-0067. Manufactured 2024. No expiry date.
