📊 Would you let a humanoid robot decide its own final mission?

Figure AI decommissioned its F.02 humanoid fleet by training the robots to autonomously leap into molten steel at a foundry in Imatra, Finland — an ending that looked straight out of Terminator. 🎬🔥 Arnold Schwarzenegger even suggested the idea in a post on X.

The robots were destroyed after foundries in the U.S. and Mexico reportedly refused to accept machines containing lithium-ion batteries. Figure says the destruction was necessary to protect its intellectual property, while the recovered metal will be recycled into commemorative artifacts. 🤖⚙️♻️

From humanoid robots to molten steel — this may be one of the strangest real-life echoes of Terminator yet. 🔥
