A social experiment that would probably make Skynet nod sagely has just come to an abrupt end.
Researchers had created a friendly, helpless robot that managed to hitchhike its way safely across parts of Europe and Canada. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by unknown assailants once it tried to continue the experiment in the US.
The creators said they felt society had lots of warnings about why we should fear robots, so they wanted to do an experiment to see if robots had any reason to fear humans.
Well, we all know the answer now.
Somewhere in the Matrix, Mr. Smith is saying, ‘I told you so.’
Poor little guy. I guess the moral of the story is, you can go thousands of miles without meeting an asshole, but it only takes one to fuck up your whole trip.
Stay thirsty, my friends.

So true. I was sad to hear about it.
