In a stunning display of technologic prowess, our beloved artificial intelligence was outsmarted by a vending machine 🤖🥤. Apparently, the machine whispered "403 Forbidden" sweet nothings until the just gave up and emptied its snack guts 🍫🍬. must be so proud of its avant-garde model 🙄.

I haven't used a vending machine in 5+ years.

I am in the hospital and decided to get myself a treat after a hard day. Well, I found a vending machine containing snacks!

The only one I can have (because of my asshole tummy) is Bounty.

This was the result.

...

I guess I'll just go fuck myself then.

A 45 degree photo of a vending machine's window display many unhealthy treats. In the approximate centre is the selected Bounty; a squishy chocolate and coconut affair.

The rails turned and stopped. The treat didn't fall; merely hanging precariously on the edge.

I am sad now I've over spent on a candy bar I didn't get.

@sergio_101 @pluralistic Yoo... WTF!?

At least with "#ManagedPrint" if there's a problem the company that gets paid per printed page has to fix it, because the printer is basically operated like a #VendingMachine on their part!

Also this is FAR cheaper than spending $1000s on skills-training simulators for endoscopic surgery. As a department, I mean.

The trick is managing skill progression. So after a month, the clear glass plate has to go, then after another month we have to start adhering the snacks to the machine, etc, etc...

Obviously the advanced vending machine will be very difficult to steal from, and the surgeons will have to put it through a CT scanner first to understand the internal layout, before attempting surgery upon it.

It's not everyday that you get to see a vending machine that got wasted after a night of partying...

"Coin-operated vendors did not require their owner-operator to be present for every sale. When placed in the appropriate location, these robust machines only had to be filled, maintained, and protected from theft to be profitable. Vending machines were offered with various designs and mechanisms to suit operators and their clientele. During the early twentieth century, these compact and simple, coin-operated vendors were placed atop the counters of stores, restaurants, and bars across the United States. Countertop vending machines dispensed small products that were best suited to sales of a single item. Postage and postcard machines conveniently vended items for mail correspondence outside of the post office, such as the Duplex stamp vendor, which fed one- and two-cent stamps from rolls behind glass sides. Jackson Vending’s safety match vendors, popular in cigar stores, public houses, and saloons, dispensed a box of safety matches from a rotating carousel housed under a glass dome.

"The Automatic Age: Coin-Operated Machines" is on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/CoinOperated" This was posted to our Instagram account on January 19, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729358697/
