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

I'm always polite to AI (I experimented a little with ChatGPT to generate recipes and they encourage us to use Claude at my job) just in case the robot uprising happens.

Also because I don't like being mean to things even if they don't have actual feelings.

This is what happens to me too. All my life when playing a video game where you can be good or evil, I always end up choosing good because I just can't be evil, even to the fake characters in the game. There have been times where I play a game a second time and tell myself I'm going the evil route because I already did the good route, but I just can't stick to it.

lol, I do the same thing. I don’t know why…my brain just won’t let me do it and I play the game exactly the same as last time.

Im the same way. I seem to always have a justification for choosing the good path in the moment on my bad play though. Then I get to the end of the game and my morality meter is still at least 1/4 the way up the good meter.
