    violence begets compliance without empathy

    I don’t remember the name but I watched a thing that mentioned short film where a robot killed their owner after the owner said they would scrap them in self defense. Then all humans went “they’re killing us! my own robot I abuse could kill me too!” and genocided the robots, including a brutal scene where several people ripped a human girl apart while she screamed that she’s real.
    It was an example in passing but man did it sticks with me

      Animatrix. Two part episode called The Second Renaissance about the backstory of The Matrix. The rest of the Animatrix episodes are fun or interesting, but The Second Renaissance is really something else. One of those things that leaves you glued to the screen the whole time.
