You okay with people fucking up vending machines and ATMs too? Why or why not?

Not OP, but I would like to state that I am ok with that. You pulled a human out of the loop, and that comes with risks. Business decision.

Wouldn't this justify vandalizing any type of machine whatsoever? Get in an elevator and nobody is looking? Stab the control panel so they have to get a human in the future making the elevator. See a car and no one is looking? Set it on fire so they have to use a human pulled rickshaw instead.

Ok, so if it's not a vending machine, but a cashier and cashier gets punched by a robber it's ok as well?

You're all making logical ethics arguments on a flippant emotional comment I made. You ever just have intrusive thoughts that make you just want to fuck some shit up? That's what these robots make me feel.

People take every comment way too seriously.

I agree with you. That Philly robot wasn't even a robot, it was a pile of garbage in a chair.
