Product placement
Engine AI's T800: a full-size general-purpose humanoid robot that ACTS by performing dance-like movements, then glitches and collapses. Removing it would change what happens in the video.
RT.com: a news website that merely APPEARS as a watermark in the bottom left corner. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
