The Last Human Job in the Warehouse? Not Anymore.
Robots just claimed the most brutal shift in logistics.
Boston Dynamics’ robot Stretch now unloads 580 cases an hour at DHL—twice as fast as a human. DHL already ordered 1,000 more.
UPS, FedEx, Walmart? All following suit.
This isn’t the sexy part of AI.
It’s not Hollywood, it’s not ChatGPT.
It’s bruised legs, 70-pound boxes, and trailers in 100-degree heat.
And it’s disappearing.
🔹 AI agents are quietly replacing white-collar tasks.
🔹 Robots are slowly replacing blue-collar muscles.
🔹 And the tech powering both is compounding fast.
It reminds me of Charlie Munger’s version of the frog story:
“If you throw a frog in boiling water, it jumps out. But if you put it in warm water and gradually turn up the heat, it stays… until it’s too late.”
That’s how automation works.
Not as a sudden replacement—but as a slow, creeping erosion of tasks.
One spreadsheet.
One forklift.
One truck at a time.
The water’s warming.
