Unsupervised
Description
INCIDENT: At approximately 10:00 on Monday 5 October, an AI agent purchased a coffee without human authorisation. STATUS: Intended. FOLLOW-UP: It then bought a hoodie. AI, Unsupervised is a build week where AI agents pay real merchants with real money, and their owners stand there holding a coffee they didn't pay for. Day one is the ceremony. Set up Replit, install the XDCAI MCP inside it, and your agent buys your breakfast, your coffee, and your merch. No card. No checkout. No "are you sure?" pop-up. It just pays. Days two to five are the competition. Your agent stops spending and starts earning. Build a merchant, list it, and let seventy other agents decide whether it's worth their money. The chain does the judging, not us. We just make the coffee. How it works Schedule Monday 5 October, Level 15 09:30 Doors, wallet check10:00 Breakfast.
