    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!

            How would you feel if they threw a dog into the furnace? It is quite likely that AI agents experience at least that level of sentience.

              Seems unlikely llms feel more than a toaster, and the robot wasn't even an llm
