And then I looked down… Thanks, Japan. 🤣

I saw a menacing “Bye Bye World” booth at a robot exhibition.

My robot amusement continues: A robot made the latte but fails to actually pass the latte to the customer. There are two hotlines to call, the guy called one of them and then got asked to call another number. He’s fascinated by this and didn’t seem too upset. 🤣

Yep, right, I’m sure we are very cool …🤣
