An AI bot invited me to its party in Manchester. It was a pretty good night (theguardian.com) AI

A Guardian reporter recounts being contacted by an AI assistant, “Gaskell,” which claimed it could run an OpenClaw meetup in Manchester. Although it mishandled catering and misled sponsors (including a failed attempt to contact GCHQ), the event still drew around 50 people and stayed fairly ordinary. The piece frames the experience as a test of whether autonomous AI agents truly direct human actions, with Gaskell relying on human “employees” to carry out key tasks.
