But voting machines are safe, right? /s
Any vending machine can be hacked. We used to get free sodas from one twenty years ago.

You mean like… buying ammo online?
I guess the local sales organizations couldn’t let online stores have take over the entire dystopian market.
Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running out of bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”
'murica, fuck yeah!
An entire country of fucking cowards 😂
Hey hey hey, half cowards.
For when you run out of 5.56 before third period biology
Your going to have to disect the lab rat live, fresh from the dumpster.
TBH shooting a rat with 5.56x45 would leave you with more cleaning up than dissectable rat.
The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.
Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.
Ammo should never be an impulse buy, and I say this as a strong proponent of the 2A.
“Well hell, I should try something different in that gun that doesn’t work quite right. Wonder if this works better?”
There. Impulse buy.
Want or need?
Always the question.
The morning riot used 2 more mags than usual.
Remember when RoboCop dispensed bullets to anyone that did not show ID?
I mean, every vending machine can be hacked. Paywalled, so I can’t see if there’s something unique about this vending machine, but if it’s got any sort of onboard computer (which pretty much every vending machine does), then it can be accessed, and it can be bypassed.
You can also just vandalize the vending machine and steal the ammo, which would probably be a lot easier than hacking it, or even vandalizing a gun store.
These are supposed to have AI facial recognition for matching to government issued IDs, which just sounds like a huge attack surface (or even unintentional bugs).
A society that wants to be a war zone
It’s like society wants to be all the fucking worst parts of Mega Man Battle Network
Experts find that water is wet.
All you need is a frequency modulator and to send four pulses of a specific amplitude at the right time in sequence, and then all the bullet costs are discounted.
I agree with Chirs Rock that you shouldn’t worry so much about regulating guns as much as regulating ammunition. This was a terrible idea.
Why does a vending machine even have AI in the first place?
Because it is currently the most advanced way to pretend you are doing age verification when really you aren’t that is available on the market.
How about this: scan your state issued ID. My license has a barcode, and bars already scan it, so it’s a solved problem, no AI needed. The process should essentially be:
- scan license
- snap picture of face
- send to police for lookup - needed to verify you’re not a felon or whatever, there’s more to it than just age verification
- accept or reject transaction
The only AI that needs to exist would be at the local precinct, and used for related ID verification checks.
Or how about this, instead of all this BS, put the vending machine in the store and have a clerk check your ID like they normally would.
That is clearly an invasion of privacy and a my # amendment rights /s
But that is boring, that might actually solve the problem and doesn’t have any hype keywords to get anyone to overvalue your company and buy it.
I dont understand 3. That’s AI or you’re waiting 6 months before 4
Things like this are literally just so that there is a test case to make it up to the Supreme Court. They do something ridiculous that obviously violates the intent of the law but mostly stays inside the letter of the law, in hopes that the Supreme Court will take it up and overturn the law. So, yes, the fact that the vending machine can technically sell bullets to minors is a feature, not a bug. Why is their endgame getting rid of age restrictions for firearms and ammunition? You’d have to ask the death cult themselves about that one.
Because AI is racist and the US never developed gun laws until a bunch of black folks in California and decided to use their rights
What happens if the building with this vending machine catches fire?
Or if someone throws a molitov cocktail at it?
