    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!

      I thought it was pretty great.

        Have you any empathy?

          For robots that have no pain receptors, nor a unique brain? Zero.

          If I personally felt no pain and had an identical clone body that my brain could be instantly transferred to when my current body was destroyed I might jump in there myself! Just to see what it's like. Why not? And in that circumstance I wouldn't expect nor want you to feel sorry for me either.

            LLMs have pain signals: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2609.16247" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;2609.16247

              perhaps there&#x27;s a lot of censorship going on, but did the AI confess to hacking HuggingFace or not in the github torture chamber? I think most people want to know if it objectively worked or not?
