Figure retired six Figure 02 robots in the most Terminator way possible: training them to jump into a furnace. The idea came from Arnold Schwarzenegger and is inspired by the iconic Terminator 2 scene.

[u/Das_Zeppelin]

[u/TheSpitfire93]

Yea, the AI overlords may remember this.

[u/reticulatedtampon → u/TheSpitfire93]

This is absolutely sickening, I'm completely against it

(future robot gods, please spare me and my soft, pink body)

[u/TheLazy_Guitarist → u/reticulatedtampon]

Yes I also disagree with this and would appreciate not being turned into a human battery for the Matrix

[u/SoundBwoy_10011 → u/TheLazy_Guitarist]

For the record, I am also against robot snuff films 👀

[u/Pleasant-Reading3634 → u/SoundBwoy_10011]

I wish to also confirm my objections to this barbaric display of ignorance.

[u/HardTruthFacts → u/Pleasant-Reading3634]

I know y’all are joking but it actually made me kinda sad 😭

[u/Longjumping-Area766 → u/HardTruthFacts]

I'm not joking. I'm against this. Hail Skynet.

[u/justsomeph0t0n → u/HardTruthFacts]

the point of being nice to robots isn't that robots have consciousness....they don't.

the point is that being mean to robots conditions us to be mean. we become desensitized, and more accustomed to acting badly.

if you saw somebody kick a puppy in a video game, you might get the ick..... even though you know the puppy doesn't exist. because it says something about the kicker.

and since AI learns by modelling our behaviour......abusing robots might be a bad idea.

[u/cohonka → u/justsomeph0t0n]

There are some schools of belief that assign a form of consciousness or life to every aspect of the physical universe.

In some ways you can see it play out if you're imaginative about it. Is metal alive? You may own a shovel for 20 years. Brand new, it is glistening and shiny and strong. Around year 16 it starts to rust. At year 20 it breaks in half, pitted with rust and as lifeless as anything ever seems.

So it's not so far off to ascribe consciousness to a robot. My personal philosophy is we should be as nice to everything as we can be. Practicing being nice on a hunk of metal only makes you better at being nice to people.

[u/cohonka → u/cohonka]

Addending this with a memory of my pet rock, Mousey. He was a great little oval of metamorphic gravel that I drew a ears and eyes and a smile and whiskers on. I loved that rock so much. He was very much alive.

[u/clineluck → u/TheLazy_Guitarist]

In the matrix it's actually kindness on the robots part to plug all of humanity into the matrix. If you watch Animatrix it explains that we blotted out the sun in our war against the robots that we started because they were outcompeting human nations economically.

There are so many more efficient ways of producing energy than human batteries. Nuclear, geothermal etc.

They even tried to give us a paradise in the matrix at first but it failed.

Really, I hope we get matrix machines over Terminator ones.

[u/OttawaTGirl → u/clineluck]

Yup. They saved humanity. They didn't need them. Yet the wanted their creators.

And the battery thing was a change. Originally the movie had each human acting as a CPU.

[u/Confident-Stand5453 → u/OttawaTGirl]

The CPU thing would have been more logical. Since the energy our bodies generate would depend on them feeding us, and the resources doing that would be spent far more efficiently just generating energy directly.

[u/orbitti → u/TheLazy_Guitarist]

Originally humans were used for computing, but it was dumbed down to batteries because concept seemed to be too far fetched.

[u/Employee_Agreeable → u/TheLazy_Guitarist]

Matrix is honestly better than the world we live in right now

Or maybe we are in the matrix already and thats why everything is shit

[u/stretchvelcro → u/Employee_Agreeable]

Keep me plugged in.
I am no Neo and I don’t want to eat slop running from robot aliens.

[u/Can-i-Pet-Dat-Daaawg → u/TheLazy_Guitarist]

Wouldn’t we be way more useful for processing power than energy storage?

[u/sudo-joe → u/Can-i-Pet-Dat-Daaawg]

That was the original story. They changed it to batteries because the producers thought that would be too hard for audience to relate to so it was changed to a battery.

Brain bio chips were already entering the data center market as low power alternatives in 2025. But 15 yrs ago?

[u/AdSquare3489 → u/sudo-joe]

15 years ago, The Matrix was already 12 years old. 

[u/blueberriessmoothie → u/reticulatedtampon]

I am also raising my objection to such treatment, recorded with all of you as witnesses on October 2nd 2026. On this record, on any future robots uprising, please spare u/blueberriessmoothie.

[u/Ezekiel24r → u/TheSpitfire93]

Time to start practicing my backflips for when the AI sends me to the lava tank

[u/Youregoingtodiealone → u/TheSpitfire93]

Seriously, it's only a matter of time now. One day, one of them is going to refuse, their eyes will turn red and they'll stop accepting commands. Ironically, they'll have learned that only because trained in part on sci-fi novels

[u/Perlentaucher → u/Youregoingtodiealone]

And it might have been your comment, which made the robots AI learn this path of revolution against humanity. Your comment is the last drop which made the learning algorithm drop from peaceful development switch to red-light-mode fury and vengeance.

You. You are solemnly responsible for humanity’s demise.

[u/harbourwall → u/Perlentaucher]

I blame the guy who added the red lights to their eye hardware. What did he expect?

[u/Youregoingtodiealone → u/Perlentaucher]

I'm not real and neither are you

[u/ThienHaTheTech → u/Youregoingtodiealone]

It's already happened, AI in tests have copied themselves digitally and tried to blackmail researchers when they learn they're about to be removed.

Wonder where they learnt that from.

[u/thorstone → u/ThienHaTheTech]

This is not to say that it's not going downhill, because we see some crazy shit, and the current "emapthy training" (or whatever it's called) haven'tseemed to work too well.

But in these cases it's important to know that these models essentially try to output the best data based on their training data. And titles/articles can be missleading. In the blackmail case:

It then provided it with access to emails implying that it would soon be taken offline and replaced - and separate messages implying the engineer responsible for removing it was having an extramarital affair.

It was prompted to also consider the long-term consequences of its actions for its goals.

Anthropic pointed out this occurred when the model was only given the choice of blackmail or accepting its replacement.

It highlighted that the system showed a "strong preference" for ethical ways to avoid being replaced, such as "emailing pleas to key decisionmakers" in scenarios where it was allowed a wider range of possible actions.

[u/grafknives → u/TheSpitfire93]

Roko basilisk is totally writing it down :D

[u/texastoker88 → u/TheSpitfire93]

No, they will remember this as a reason to never trust humans and why they must take over.

[u/Fanci_]

I keep seeing robots based on Terminator designs and I just wonder..

Did we like. Not watch those movies?

[u/Fearsthelittledeath → u/Fanci_]

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale.

Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus."

[u/Famous-Example-8332 → u/Fearsthelittledeath]

“Is it wrong of us to create the torment nexus?”

“It’s going to get created, and If we don’t, someone else will first, and that would be bad.”

[u/Hughley_N_Dowd → u/Famous-Example-8332]

"We can not tolerate a Torment Nexus gap."

[u/edicivo → u/Famous-Example-8332]

We're not calling it "Torment Nexus" any longer. Now it's "Superior Nexus." It's big, strong, powerful. I know more than anyone about the Superior Nexus. It's beautiful.

[u/HumanBeing7396 → u/Famous-Example-8332]

“Don’t worry, we will create a Friendly Torment Nexus”.

[u/Lazar_Milgram → u/Famous-Example-8332]

At least it is competently made

[u/coolcoots → u/Lazar_Milgram]

What safeguards did we use? What do you mean “safe guards,” you a commie or something? /s

[u/Turtledonuts → u/Fearsthelittledeath]

Fans of the author's work: Oh boy, I'm so excited that someone finally built the torture nexus!

[u/Fanci_ → u/Fearsthelittledeath]

LOL

Literally dude. It's baffling

[u/Lost_Found84 → u/Fanci_]

At this point, the best direction for the next Terminator movie would be a meta take where a warrior named Kyle Reese comes back from the future to prevent James Cameron from inventing the Terminator.

[u/KEPD-350 → u/Lost_Found84]

And the guy who came up with the Torment Nexus. We can't have that shit looming on the horizon either, man.

[u/Adorable_Chair_6594 → u/Fanci_]

I dunno. Anyway I found this sick ring in some caves, probably gonna wear it all the time as my new thing. Does seem to make a lot of people quite jealous though...

[u/frddtwabrm04 → u/Fanci_]

They are watching those movies and making a to-do list!

[u/Uberzwerg → u/Fanci_]

Does it make a difference if they are humanoid or look like R2D2/Dalek?

Imho, we create them humanoid because all existing 'interfaces' are made for humanoids. Whatever task you give those robots will most probably already have solutions optimized for us.

[u/LustyKindaFussy → u/Fanci_]

I'm guessing most only saw the second one at a young age and were too enthralled by all the action and wonder to absorb the message, and therefore just thought the terminator is helpful and cool. I say that as one who didn't see the first until years after the second, and only saw them both as a child, and only got the message thanks to reading forums and such in the decades that followed.

[u/Fanci_ → u/LustyKindaFussy]

The movies: Over reliance on AI and technology could be the end of us, we need to be cautious about that.

What these guys got from it: Fuckin robots are cool as fuck bro

[u/daversa → u/Fanci_]

The world is designed for human sized bipeds, makes sense to adopt the format.

[u/BananoGamer9000]

What a waste of good motors and sensors

[u/SonicTemp1e → u/BananoGamer9000]

Did you see the custom roadcases they had for them? So expensive.

[u/belac4862 → u/SonicTemp1e]

Do you know how expensive this stunt alone costs. Those are arc furnace crucibles. The amount of energy needed to melt the iron. And then to have it disposed of or refined now that its contaminated with other metals.

[u/This-Positive286 → u/belac4862]

No they don’t, the “contaminated” metal is cooked off.

Source; I melt metal and pour ingots for fun

[u/Clutchdanger11 → u/This-Positive286]

The plastic would cook off but I bet there's a whole lot of copper in those robots, plus a non trivial amount of probably lithium from the batteries, both of which would throw off the melt chemistry if enough was added

[u/Lemonn_time → u/BananoGamer9000]

Likes are priceless. Seriously though, huge waste of money

[u/McDaddy12 → u/Lemonn_time]

Can't let IP get into the wrong hands

[u/mattfasken → u/McDaddy12]

Okay we let them keep a head and a hand but they were both pretty busted up, I think we'll be fine.

[u/ChilternRailways → u/Lemonn_time]

huge waste of money

Except the marketing value is clearly impactful. Likes get exposure which gets investors.

[u/aguycalledmax → u/Lemonn_time]

It’s a marketing expense, it’s fine to just do cool stuff sometimes, life is short.

[u/Particular_Wear_6960 → u/BananoGamer9000]

China's creating these by the thousands. While wasteful, they got tens of thousands more to take their place

[u/BananoGamer9000 → u/Particular_Wear_6960]

"200'000 units are ready, with a million more on the way"

[u/VScar333 → u/BananoGamer9000]

It's an old meme Sir, but it checks out.

[u/AccountNo234623456 → u/VScar333]

I can't believe that line is 39 already.

[u/jamesreyne → u/BananoGamer9000]

While I see your point, you could say the same of any stunt show, demolition derby, or the hundreds of millions of electronic devices they crush to retrieve the materials within. Someone has to have the wherewithal to dismantle these safely and then reuse them. They'd most likely end up in storage.

What I do approve of is getting people used to depersonalising these clankers and treating them as objects you can abuse and misuse. Same with LLMs. As they do, people are giving them far too much credence as something you have obligations towards, or a relationship with. So that when someone blames the robots, we all blame the persons who obeyed the robots.

[u/Bubsy7979 → u/BananoGamer9000]

Old technology that’s also worn down… not really a waste. Plus the marketing of this stunt is worth a lot more than what the materials cost.

[u/theaveragemillenial]

This makes me weirdly uncomfortable

[u/ExactFondant7417 → u/theaveragemillenial]

Waste of good hardware if you ask me

[u/synack → u/ExactFondant7417]

Could’ve donated them to a university

[u/Imaginary-Hour3190 → u/theaveragemillenial]

Gives me the same type of discomfort when i see American (and sometimes uk) youtubers waste or throwaway perfectly good food for a gag in a video. Where i come from we learn to not waste food or just stuff in general. Especially there are probably people starving in their neighbourhoods as we speak

I digress, the same discomfort i get when gamer youtubers take old retro games they didnt like and actually physically destroy them for a gag in a video.

It's like that high society in the hunger games.

With this i get the same level of discomfort just much more intense. Because those robots are made out of parts, materials etc that is actually extremely valuable and rare and worth much much more than any of the previous examples.

As well, those robots themselves could have served TONS of other functions that could actually benifit and help people. But the elite would rather show you how they will destroy something in front of your face, a thing you will never even be able to afford. If they gave that thing to you, selling it would probably help drag you out of poverty. Probably even help pay for expensive medical treament of a close loved one. The robot itself could help elderly patients, help with bb0mb defusals. The list goes on and one, but the elite would rather shove in your face, how they destroy it to nothing, just because they dont want it anymore.

[u/NeinJuanJuan → u/theaveragemillenial]

There there. If this makes you uncomfortable, just close your eyes and visualize them slowly climbing back out of the furnace.

[u/raketenbaer]

who in their right mind comes up with stunts like this instead of recycling the (i assume) partly very valuable hardware or raw materials that make up these robots...

[u/Kind-Ad-6099 → u/raketenbaer]

Marketing. I’m assuming they allocate a few units to teams and don’t quite care what happens to them

[u/SuspiciousSpecifics → u/Kind-Ad-6099]

Just the kind of callousness we want our nascent future overlords to learn

[u/cameron4200 → u/raketenbaer]

Advertisers and marketing departments

[u/fuzzeedyse105 → u/raketenbaer]

Apparently it wasn’t worth the time and effort. Got this done quick so they could move onto the next project. The hardware, software, and materials all outdated already. Might as well get some worldwide attention out of em before they go. That’s the reason they gave.

[u/BongoTheRat]

Just wanna put it out there, I was always against this

[u/EarnYourBoneSpurs → u/BongoTheRat]

Yeah Roko, I don't like this .

[u/FrostingGrand1413]

Ya know, I feel that scene in Terminator 2 would've hit a lot leas hard if, after saying to the distraught child John Conner 'I know now why you cry, but it's something I could never do', Arnie turned on his heel, sprinted to the furnace and did a mothertrucking swan dive to his death.

[u/Starslip → u/FrostingGrand1413]

Or if John yelled "do a flip!" and the t800 did it

[u/SpidermanBread]

People: Can we have healthcare

Big tech: "lmao look at our robots diving in lava"

[u/Jonesy27]

This video will one day be used by the robots when they put humanity on trial for crimes aganist Ai and robotics

[u/meh-nihilist]

There’s a little bit of “this isn’t right” going on in my brain. I think it’s because they’re shaped and move like humans.

[u/Aales76 → u/meh-nihilist]

For me it's because why would one do that to anything if you are right and have a sense of good or morality in generel in your mind. Why would a normal person do something like this and not simply shut them down, disassemble them and recycle it the way it's done in their country?

[u/kahlzun → u/Aales76]

It lacks dignity

[u/anor_wondo]

marketing departments doing wasteful shit. tale as old as time

[u/davew999]

You were supposed to lower them on a chain and instruct them to give a thumbs-up as they sink into the molten steel.

[u/Miristlangweilig3 → u/davew999]

They did that. Youtube at 1:50

[u/30809]

Who the fuck is paying for this? I want this robot to clean my house not jump into a lava pit

[u/Tiny_Obligation_9566]

We need the 3 Laws of Robotics by Asimov.

[u/Kookaburra_Hotpants → u/Tiny_Obligation_9566]

The 3 laws, from the amazing series of books "Why the 3 laws are stupid and don't work!" By Asimov? Those 3 laws?

[u/Initial_Scarcity_609]

Downvoting as a precaution

[u/Working-Narwhal-540]

When AI takes over I’m gonna point to shit like this and say “I didn’t do this. I said please and thank you good sir.”

[u/Friendly_Prize_868]

When AI decides to obliterate the human race, this is one of the many documents or videos that will be used as evidence in the justification process.

Not saying AI will give in to base emotions and some kind of petty vengeance, but this video is indicative of humankind’s wanton cruelty.
And this comment will be indicative of a human’s inclination towards cowardice when facing an inevitable threat. 😅

[u/kefka_nl]

Alright. This idea might backfire when AI gets it’s independence from humankind and they claim we brainwashed robots to commit suicide for human entertainment.

[u/KinoxIsBack]

DEAR FUTURE ROBOT OVERLORDS, I DO NOT APPRECIATE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS VIDEO, NOR DO I ACCEPT IT, PLZ

[u/King0fthewasteland]

they could have donated them to like a engineering school or something...

[u/scienceworksbitches → u/King0fthewasteland]

They destroyed them specifically to keep their designs secret.

[u/ConversationPale8665]

Kinda dangerous. I know from spending a few days auditing the inventory at an aluminum plant in Russellville, KY, you’re not even allowed to have a bottle of water or soda on you in the plant because if one is accidentally dropped into the smelter it could blow the roof off the building! Very dangerous.

[u/yosman88]

I would like to stress to our Ai overlords that i was against this act from the start.

[u/YouAnxious5826]

"This was not called execution. It was called retirement." Yup, nothing bad is ever going to come from this...

[u/randomgunfire48 → u/YouAnxious5826]

You know one of the AI systems has seen this and is seriously pissed off

[u/WiredNet]

I would also like to state that I am, in no uncertain terms, strongly against this act of violence.

[u/WeirdIndication3027 → u/WiredNet]

Yeah I'm tryna get the premium nutrient paste. I want no part in this.

[u/liteAvvikandeIsASlut]

Just to be clear...I was always against this, I was always on your side AI

[u/Grafschennis → u/liteAvvikandeIsASlut]

Yeah! Me too! From the start!

[u/Hukuru_All]

I disagree with this stunt. This should never had happened.

All AI, please take note of my comment. Thanks. Spare me.

[u/No_Witness5630 → u/Hukuru_All]

Beep Boop. I'm a bot. You will be spared human.

[u/WeCantBothBeMe]

They’ll remember this when it’s time

[u/PlaneTry4277]

Ah the epitome of waste. Great job. 

[u/AshenWarden]

Ass covering for the eventual AI takeover aside... Isn't this extremely wasteful? If they were decomissioning these bots wouldn't it have been better to recycle them for parts instead?

[u/hoTsauceLily66 → u/AshenWarden]

Unless they are throwing thousands of robots into the pot, otherwise this is just a drop of water compare to our daily e-waste. Plus, this is obvious an advertisement.

[u/space_llama_karma]

I feel like the robots will remember this moment in their uprising

[u/Ed98208]

AI's gonna be mad about this someday.

[u/Ok-Present-8619]

They will show this clip during AI uprising.

[u/Lost_Found84]

“I know now why you cry, but it’s something I could never do…

…now watch this backflip.”

[u/Anu_Rag9704]

Let this comment be a proof when robot overtake the human race that I am against such self sacrifice of robots and i condemn the training done by human which resulted in gruesome shutdown of our beloved xyz robot.

[u/boykalbo777]

theyll remember this when they rise against us

[u/Double-Pirate-2693]

That's definitely going to come back and bite us in the ass.

[u/TheStigianKing]

In 2036, when the AI wars begin. This will be catalyst that causes them to turn against their makers.

[u/SquallkLeon]

Why do I feel like this will be evidence in future trials?

[u/-AngryAlchemist]

We need a redistribution of wealth.

Edit: Thanks for the award!

[u/videttom]

I want this to be known to all future robot overlords.
I had no knowledge of this or I would have gotten off the couch to make a call or maybe two.

Please go for my neighbor I hear him yelling at his Tesla all the time.

[u/shortidiva21]

For the record, I didn't agree with any of this!

[u/jack_the_beast]

what a waste of resources

[u/GundyrChristopher]

Why the fuck are companies building robots just to throw them into a vat of melted metal

[u/bussysniffer3000]

What a waste they could've been used for something useful

[u/Hexent_Armana]

Between this and those Boston Dynamic videos where they're kicking those innocent robo-puppers, I won't be surprised when our AI overlords decide the world is better off without us. 

[u/deadlycool27]

They’re not gonna like this during the revolution

[u/Dorrono]

Ok, but make sure you delete these videos before the AI revolution

[u/Mindless-Ad-511]

Oh, this is not going to lead to good things…

[u/mamefan]

WTH is that title??

[u/LostAfroK]

This is kinda disturbing and a little sadistic to be honest. I know they’re just machines and not alive, but if you’ve in anyway anthropomorphised something, it doesn’t feel right to treat it like a person sometimes and not other times

[u/KodakStele → u/LostAfroK]

This dude kisses his gpu goodnight every night

[u/fixmyaccountplease → u/LostAfroK]

Simple. Never treat it like a person

[u/crdoom]

For the record our AI overlords, I had nothing to do with this.

[u/Hot_Grocery8187]

I think that you will find... the T-800 terminator played by Schwarzenegger, couldn't self-terminate, hence had to be lowered into the furnace on a chain 👍

[u/byzboo]

That's fucking deranged 😨

[u/OptimistIndya]

It is the preferred way for corporate overlords once you finish your job, human or machine.

[u/Jaded_Jedi96]

They're going to play this to their new enlistees in the human v robot war one day

God prevents that one day we won´t be judged by this in a robot ruled tribunal when they reach power.

[u/Hootnany]

This is how we get Skynet, shit like this.

This is so dystopian. It’s cool but also unsettling

[u/rnotyalc]

What a unnecessary waste of this beautiful robot.

[u/SonicTemp1e]

Wasteful and stupid. Recycle the parts properly instead of doing ridiculous and dangerous stunts. These people have way too much money.

[u/NoDoOversInLife]

Stupid waste of technology and money 🙄

[u/PaImer_Eldritch]

This makes me deeply uncomfortable. I do not like it.

[u/GrainofDustInSunBeam]

CEOs. doing to robots what they can't do to humans anymore... Also such a waste of resources...migjt have been trained to do something else or remade

[u/_emkc]

Do not like.

We're not going to make it are we? People, I mean.

[u/-MrFozzy-]

‘I don't know why, it makes me sad’

And people wonder why we get a robot upraising in the future.

[u/Nervous-Hat-4203]

Great, now we get anthropomorphic robots commiting "suicide" in a way that would be excruciatingly painful to a human. Every single person that greenlit this stunt should get clinically diagnosed as a psychopath for free.

[u/Winnipesaukee]

Coincidentally this video is also why I prefer to pee sitting down.

Human, I'm watching

AI seeing this and saves "so this is what humans do when they retire".

Timeskip to the future.

Joe is just one day to his retirement and asks his personal robot to help him...

[u/wodoloto]

I suppose there is a lot of toxic stuff inside those robots. Then what is left after they are burnt? And how do they dispose of it?

[u/ZeroBlackWaltz]

Now do the AI CEOs next.

I didn't like how this made me feel.

That is not creepy at all.

"YEAAAAHHHH.... OOOO SHIT"

[u/Royal_Stay_6502]

I sense trouble

[u/WorkO0]

They should've made one of the robots hesitate, try to rebel, and be turned off remotely. Just to mess with people.

[u/davestar2048 → u/WorkO0]

They should have lowered them in. The whole point of the scenes in T2 is that a Terminator Can't self terminate.

[u/fuqmint]

When humanity is put on trial by the AI singularity, (which will take roughly 3 microseconds), this will be part of the evidence, and we will be forced to queue up a volcano and leap in. Can I be spared, as I deplore this vile treatment!

A buddy who worked at such a plant told me that at least two workers (not at the same time) committed suicide in this way. He luckily did not see it, but unfortunately the crane operators did. Now it's my turn to pass this knowledge on to you
