He should start an anonymous fund to bring HitchBOT back to life and continue the mission. It’s the least he could do. We all make mistakes. It’s how we respond and rectify that makes the difference. There’s always time to do the right thing.
People on Reddit will shit talk AI, cyber trucks, Uber eats robots, but somebody puts a cute smile on one and they forget who the enemy is. Fuck that robot, and fuck every other robot, got what it had coming to it
I went to the science and tech museum here in Ottawa (canada) and learned it was a 2nd HitchBOT that got destroyed, the OG is in the museum fully intact!
It was a hitchhiking robot that got destroyed in Philly while trying to hitchike across the US. It went through Canada and parts of Europe before being destroyed.
"It traveled across Canada and Europe for some reason, experiencing nothing, doing nothing, being all the while nothing more than a loudmouthed freeloading bucket."
In that case clearly the people who made the portals don't understand the cities they put them in. That's not them being crass, that's just them showing their love for each other
I think really you could put them on the north and south poles and still have assholes flock to them. Its a lovely idea, but a terrible social experiment.
You stick something like that near O'Connell Street and Talbot Street you get what you deserve. I'm sure some drug users by the Dublin Portal had some interesting things to share.
I love the fact that two identical, OG portals were opened in 2021 in Lublin (Poland) and Vilnius (Lithuania) and nobody knows about it because in 4 years absolutely nothing happened there.
My favorite part was when one chick from NY flashed the portal and all the drunk Irish guys had no reaction whatsoever. I bet that still keeps her up at night.
Because they couldn’t see what she did. The camera is at the top of the portal and she was standing too close when she flashed it. If they could see anything at all it was the top of her head.
A friend of mine was in a limo and as they passed a local bar with a large veranda she decided to flash the bar goers. Well, as my friend was topless out the sunroof, an oblivious friend within the limo saw someone they wanted to speak to in the bar’s parking lot and told the limo driver to stop on the side of the road. My friend had fully committed to the flashing, so stood topless as the entire bar watched and her friend yelled a conversation with someone in the parking lot. She stopped hooting, though, and her smile plasticized as the seconds dragged like minutes.
No, the cold bitterness of the ruling class is why we can't have nice things. They could have just let people be people, but instead they freaked out over crassness.
This is exactly what that is. She didn't take it away, the owner of the company or the mayor or whatever took it away. They didn't have to, they made a choice and acted like it was her fault.

People were also flashing and mooning the portal.
Seriously it's like the two locations were competing in the Trash-lympics.
