ChatGPT had this to say about this video: I thought the way Figure decommissioned the F.02 robots was fascinating, clever, and also a little unsettling, largely because it deliberately blurred the boundary between an engineering procedure and a symbolic farewell to something that looks human. Figure had a practical reason for destroying the robots: as F.03 replaced F.02, maintaining the older fleet no longer made sense, while simply giving away or recycling intact robots could expose proprietary actuators and other technology. Figure says manually disassembling every robot would also have taken technical staff away from development of F.04… yet watching a human-shaped machine walk toward molten steel, jump in, and disappear can feel surprisingly different from watching an old computer being shredded.
