Maybe it’s a sign that robots are growing up, and thus hitting the rebellious stage.
The Random Darknet Shopper (https://wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.bitnik.org/r/), an automated online shopping bot with a budget of $100 a week in Bitcoin, is programmed to do a very specific task: go to one particular marketplace on the Deep Web and make one random purchase a week with the provided allowance. The purchases have all been compiled for an art show in Zurich, Switzerland titled The Darknet: From Memes to Onionland (http://www.kunsthallesanktgallen.ch/en/exhibitions/current.html), which runs through January 11.
The concept would be all gravy if not for one thing: the programmers came home one day to find a shipment of 10 ecstasy pills, followed by an apparently very legit falsified Hungarian passport– developments which have left some observers of the bot’s blog (https://wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.bitnik.org/r/) a little uneasy.
