what an absolute waste of time and resources

Is this real? You have to be really careful what goes into a furnace crucible. I can't say this isn't but if these robots had any hydraulic fluid or liquid in their batteries I would expect to see a pretty serious explosion as it evaporates. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLxRJlcNh2A

This is pretty wild On TikTok most comments are about how this could be used as evidence by the AI of the future in judging humans It’s interesting how a lot of people are already feeling that these are not just machines/software When will we have a robot/AI revolution?

I wish folks would realize that if you make your video this polished, with shots this framed, people will glance off it assuming it's sorta fake. Give us a 5-8 min behind the scenes with normal-ish lighting, production crew around etc. and it'll garner a lot more interest.

Figure is so funny. All they do is produce these sorts of stunts to gain VC money, with nothing real to show.

I don't know if the X survey for how to decommission F.02 was staged or not. But I do know this: having anthropomorphizing and romanticizing your dumb robots for so long like a soap opera from your founder's feed, and now staged this "humanized" robot incinerated in a melting pot EXACTLY like Terminator franchise's ending plot and EVEN hiring Arnold Schwarzenegger for a cameo, is giving me full goosebumps, NOT the right ones. I hope Brett Adcock realize that the Terminator franchise is literally the p(doom) outcome, not just in the names only. EPIC FAIL in your marketing stunt!

this is just incredibly metal. Kinda stupid but kilometers above the bottom requirement for rule of cool.

This was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Feel bad for the people so stuck up they can't just enjoy something in the moment.

Ok, I'll give it to them: the video was pretty funny, but how will that help them raise more VC funds if they're willing to show they're reckless by spending money to hire Arnold Schwarzenegger? No way he did the cameo for free
