  • Hacker News
  • what an absolute waste of time and resources
  • this is just incredibly metal. Kinda stupid but kilometers above the bottom requirement for rule of cool.
  • Figure is so funny. All they do is produce these sorts of stunts to gain VC money, with nothing real to show.
  • Is this real? You have to be really careful what goes into a furnace crucible.

    I can't say this isn't but if these robots had any hydraulic fluid or liquid in their batteries I would expect to see a pretty serious explosion as it evaporates.

  • This was the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. Feel bad for the people so stuck up they can't just enjoy something in the moment.
  • I don't know if the X survey for how to decommission F.02 was staged or not. But

    I do know this: having anthropomorphizing and romanticizing your dumb robots for so long like a soap opera from your founder's feed, and now staged this "humanized" robot incinerated in a melting pot EXACTLY like Terminator franchise's ending plot and EVEN hiring Arnold Schwarzenegger for a cameo, is giving me full goosebumps, NOT the right ones.

    I hope Brett Adcock realize that the Terminator franchise is literally the p(doom) outcome, not just in the names only.

    EPIC FAIL in your marketing stunt!

  • I wish folks would realize that if you make your video this polished, with shots this framed, people will glance off it assuming it's sorta fake. Give us a 5-8 min behind the scenes with normal-ish lighting, production crew around etc. and it'll garner a lot more interest.
  • This is pretty wild

    On TikTok most comments are about how this could be used as evidence by the AI of the future in judging humans

    It’s interesting how a lot of people are already feeling that these are not just machines/software

    When will we have a robot/AI revolution?
