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.

sigh......

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.

IMO the Canadians are stupid Sending that thing into the US, what did they think would happen? Wonder if they stole the iphone which were in it. Also read a bunch of hate articles from ppl whining it was not areal robot etc.

There was enough copper wiring in it to AT LEAST buy a 6-pack of your preferred hands-free macro-brew

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.
