Aescape robotic massage was created by a handful of AdTech/Big Tech alums and just announced an $83mm financing round A massage costs $60/30 min session, which you have to undergo while wearing a bodysuit provided by the company so it can model your body. Only works from shoulders to knees, with “calves coming soon!” The machines will be placed in higher end locations like Equinox and Four Seasons hotels https://archive.is/2025.03.04-121802/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-04/ai-massage-startup-raises-83-million-brings-robots-to-equinox

I legit feel like it’s going to beat someone to death or injure an organ.

also massage therapists can be funny - one was trying to convince me once that there is a huge conspiracy where aliens actually control us and use us as lab rats. still thinking about that (ofc it was in florida lmao)

I wonder if there will be machines at the Four Seasons in SF. The company is based in SF, and the Four Seasons on Market St. is connected to an Equinox that has a spa. Seems like that would be an ideal testing ground

it remains to be seen if it can truly replicate the human touch, or if people even want it to
