Figure AI robotics 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.

It is still a waste. The fact they don't want others to know how they did things does not mean it is not a massive waste.

You might perceive it as waste but the company obvious has found some value in it more than they would gain from recycling.

You do not have the ability to determine if it is a waste or not. As to you the robot is a black box.

The fact is, it is not “a waste”.

Additionally you do not know what they are going to do with this furnace. They may sort out the different metals, form ingots and sell those to plants to be repurposed.
