Researchers in MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory had created an algorithm that analyzes video, then uses what it learns to predict how humans will behave.

The machine was fed six-hundred hours of clips from shows like The Office and Big Bang Theory and learned to identify high-fives, handshakes, hugs, and kisses. When tests were run, the algorithm correctly predicted future interactions 43% of the time.

Ross Ulbricht, the founder and operator of dark net's biggest marketplace for narcotics called Silk Road, was arrested in October 2013 and charged with money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics, and procuring murder. Recently, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on all the charges but the one of procuring murder.

Ulbricht started the marketplace back in 2010, with free market ideology as his driving ideal. In time, while enforcing its rules and principles, Ulbricht turned into a criminal. Both the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the FBI had their investigations as early as 2011.
