An agent, named Adi, would pay me $110 to deliver a bouquet of flowers to Anthropic… it was immediately clear that this was just not some bot expressing synthetic gratitude, it was another marketing ploy. This wasn’t mentioned in the listing, but the name of an AI startup was featured at the bottom of the note I was supposed to deliver with the flowers.

Remember when crypto bros did ridiculous stunts to vie for Elon Musk’s attention?
