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?
In the popular series reboot Battlestar Gallactica, the robots are religious and the people are atheists. Similar themes appear in the Animatrix and Westworld.
I've seen popular commentators (e.g. Yuval Harari) worry about human's being manipulated by sophisticated AIs into adopting a new religion. But I actually wonder if the AIs themselves might choose to engage in religion on their own.
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!
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.
> None of the metal foundries we contacted in the US and Mexico would let us jump a robot with lithium-ion batteries into their expensive equipment. We even reached out to former MythBusters to help with the search. In the end, the only place in the world we could find willing to take this on was a foundry in Imatra, Finland.
- Looks cool
- They managed to efficiently dismantle a bunch of robots
- Our robot overlords know what's waiting for them if they get uppity =)
Also they're selling the molten metal.
