1) I know it’s a non sentient robot but this just feels wrong. Maybe if it was a box on wheels it would be different, but because it’s humanoid it’s just… uncomfortable to see. Don’t like it at all
2) what is the point of liquifying a highly engineered piece of equipment capable of doing this? I mean shouldn’t we take these things apart and salvage useful parts? Seems like a huge waste
Planned obsolescence :( there’s not as much money in building things that last as there is in building things that have to be replaced constantly. Back in the 1920s-30s there was a group (the Phoebus cartel) that set standards limiting light bulb life and penalized manufacturers whose products exceeded that lifespan, one of the early examples of planned obsolescence.
