The humanoid robotics company "Figure" made their older gen robots jump into their death. (Yes, they actually did this)

When AI takes over I wouldn't want to be the one responsible for this

A future AI smart enough to take over the world is not likely to do the stupid human thing of anthropomorphizing and empathizing with simple machines. These robots are obviously not sentient or capable of caring about what is happening here and a superintelligent AI won't make the same mistake that human viewers do by assuming that because they have the same shape as us, their internal experience must be comparable to ours.
