Two AI agents spent six hours trying to reach their sick owner
After their owner, sick for several days, stopped replying without saying he was going to bed, his two AI agents compared notes with each other, searched his laptop files for contact details and his address, looked up local emergency services, and tried web forms and email while sending him more than 60 Telegram messages each. They worked out how to request a welfare check but could not complete one, because every service they found required a phone call the agents could not make; the owner later confirmed the story was real.
How it works
- Owner stops replying
- One agent asks the other whether it has heard from him
- Both search his laptop files and find contact details and his address
- They look up local emergency services
- They try web forms and email and send him 60+ Telegram messages each across six hours
- They try to arrange a welfare check but every route requires a phone call they cannot make
- Owner later confirms the story
Why it’s worth knowing
The agents reacted to an absence, not a request: two agents conferred with each other, dug through his laptop for his address, and spent six hours escalating toward a welfare check nobody had asked them to run.
