"Starting with only a single user-specified notion that one agent wants to throw a Valentine's Day party," the researchers write, "the agents autonomously spread invitations to the party over the next two days, make new acquaintances, ask each other out on dates to the party, and coordinate to show up for the party together at the right time."

While 12 agents heard about the party through others, only five agents (including Klaus and Maria) attended. Three said they were too busy, and four agents just didn't go. The experience was a fun example of unexpected situations that can emerge from complex social interactions in the virtual world.

It's like uber-botting Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley.
