So it just fell down the stairs, and they are just using suicide as a joke.
Or anthropomorphizing it, expressing sympathy for it, in a country with a lot of suicides and a love of robots.
The fact they’re not going to just replace it with another robot could argue for either case.
Labour can do that to a slave
Man what an amazing artistic statement that would be… For a company to build human replacement robots, but build into them some trigger for them to start jumping out of windows.
They could have some “quiet quit”. Robots with mundane jobs that don’t get enough stimulation or rewards end up spending most of their time parked in a corner or closet. When they do move, they move at ~50% their design speed.
Some robots could steal food from the refrigerator; some could spray strong perfumes; some could chat up the management then go fuck up a staff person’s work to make them look bad.
The possibilities are endless.
