      The red stuff is a hydraulic leak that gets worse over time. At first the robot was able to contain the leak, and had time to entertain the audience, but as time wore on, it leaked too fast to contain, and the robot spent all of its hours retrieving leaked fluid. Finally it leaked too fast, and it died.

      ⁠@@dalegreer3095 If I am correct, I do not think it died. It was probably unplugged, and if it did "die," then it was not because of the hydraulic fluid. The robot "thought" it needed the hydraulic fluid, so that's why it tried containing it.

      The machine is ran by fluid that looks like blood and it is trying to keep the fluid inside so it doesn't die. Sadly, it ended up dying in 2019. It is supposed to be based of people who are trying to help themselves but are failing.

      @@vincentafton6701 actually it isn't trying to keep itself alive and it's not supposed to signify that either. It's just to signify how much control we give to AI and that we actually use it for control and we subject ourselves to the control of AI and what this has and can lead to in the future. It also says if you read the caption under the original video of it, it was about borders and keeping things in borders, the machine was designed to keep the fluids in a specific border, like the borders of the world, and on doing so the machine, hence the government's control that controls people locked in these borders. And the violence and blood shed that it causes in doing so is what the red liquid is to signify. The explanation that you've given is what some one on tik tok says about how they felt about the robot. I actually like that version myself cause it does seem like it's trying to keep itself alive and failing and it's kinda sad, but it's not the truth behind what the artist's message was. 😉

    Why is it cleaning blood? What happened?

    • @dalegreer3095
      @dalegreer3095 Рік тому +1

      It's hydraulic fluid. The robot is built with a leak and programmed to wipe the fluid back to its base where it goes back into its system. When all the fluid is wiped up, the robot has time to entertain people viewing. The leak gets worse over time, so the robot spends more and more of its time retrieving fluid. Eventually the fluid leaks too fast for the robot to keep up, and it dies.

      You might not understand, but it's basically what trauma / mental disorders make you feel.
      You try your hardest to clean it up, yet you can never actually clean it up.
      No matter how hard you try to get rid of it, it is always there.
