So as an art project, some guys created a 'bot that had access to a bitcoin wallet, and turned it loose on the darknet to buy whatever it could using bitcoins with no other instructions than "buy stuff."
Among other things, the bot purchased ecstasy pills and a fake Hungarian passport.
The question of the day seems to be, are the guys who made the bot guilty of a crime?
If an AI were to purchase something illegal and mail it to its owner as a "surprise," is the owner criminally responsible?
