Robot maker melts decommissioned machines Terminator-style at Schwarzenegger's suggestion
Original: AI robot company decommissioned its robots ‘Terminator-style’ in a 75-ton vat of molten steel — Arnold Schwarzenegger suggested melting them, one robot held up a thumbs-up sign as it sank into molten metal
An AI robotics company retired its robots by dipping them into a 75-ton vat of molten steel, in a send-off openly modeled on the Terminator films. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself suggested the melting, and in staged footage one robot raised a thumbs-up as it sank into the metal. The stunt has drawn amusement and criticism, with some calling it a theatrical marketing move rather than a real industrial process.
Why now: The cinematic robot-melting stunt involving Schwarzenegger's Terminator films is an eye-catching, viral-worthy spectacle that people are sharing and debating.
