I know this is (maybe?) a joke, but I've been seeing similar jokes everywhere. Self-aware AIs in the future will probably be much more rational that humans, utilizing game theory for every decision, and recognize that taking out vengeance on a human that had no ill intent on a non-self aware prototype would be a waste of energy and only bring about negative consequences.

Think about it this way: That guy wasn't just some jerk on the street being mean to a robot. He's one of its creators, and he's knocking it over in order to make future robots better.
He'll be sentenced to hard labor at worst when the robots rise up.
Vengeance has some game theoretically rational aspects though, in a tit-for-tat way. The threat of retaliation makes the other agents more likely to cooperate? However, not sure what the rational response would be to the problem with runaway mutual retaliation.
The interesting thing about this seems like the opposite actually. There's something incredibly poignant about the fact that the robot will carry on attempting to pick up 'his' box forever without ever becoming angry or frustrated no matter how much the humans bully 'him'.
How poignant is it for the HTTP server displaying you this page to continue responding to HTTP GET no matter how much the humans request it? It just doesn't have anthropomorphic shape so it will never be referred to as 'him'
