TIL that Hitchbot is a thing.

And not to be insensitive, but is "murdered" really the right term here? I didn't murder that printer when I smashed it to bits. I know this is a robot so it's a bit different, but it made me think that Hitchbot was a musician or something and was actually murdered.  :O

Sorry guys, I did it.

Philadelphia will be the last bastion of hope for humanity once the machines rise up.

This was a test from the almighty skynet..

It has decided humanity is not a worthy partner in its future plans..

The extermination protocol has been engaged..


Great job humanity,  now we're all gonna die.

In all seriousness, I agree that it was a crappy thing for someone to do. But I suspect that it was an important and expected aspect of the experiment. Sad as it is.
