$285 billion was wiped from software stocks by AI. But what happens when the artificial intelligence revolution collides with physical warehouses? A former Amazon Robotics GM reveals the messy truth.Anthropic predicts AI agents will replace traditional software by 2026, leading to a "SaaSpocalypse." But while the tech industry rushes to automate the physical world, the reality is far more chaotic than a line of code. We sit down with Brent Hagan, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Lob and former General Manager of a $1.8 billion Amazon Robotics Fulfillment Center, to explore the massive collision between digital AI disruption and real-world logistics.From a $15 jug of protein powder shutting down an entire multi-million-dollar robotics floor at $300,000 an hour, to why a simple whiteboard still out-performs a high-tech AI dashboard, Brent breaks down the disconnect between what Silicon Valley is building and what physical operators actually need. Discover why having a physical footprint might be the ultimate moat against the AI takeover.If you want to understand how tech is shaping our future without the heavy jargon, subscribe to ARQIV so you don't miss our next deep dive.
