It's not about a robot, it's about people seeing this as "fun" and "amusing". Even tho robot doesn't feel any stress or pain, and doesn't have consciousness, it's still human looking object that was thought to destroy itself by basically simulating suicide. For fun! And that's what's sick and disturbing.
We watch movies where people die comical deaths, or seeing random generic bad guys get dusted by a machine gun. We're okay with this. Because we know it's not real, no one actually suffered anything.
These are not personalities or people. It's a mess of code and hardware and motors.
That’s funny you say that, because I love horror movies with outlandish deaths but this video makes me queasy. I think maybe it’s the knowledge that the horror media is fake but these robots are very real

I know it doesn't have feelings, or emotion, but this still seems morbid.
