I missed out on an event recently because it was full. I got a notification that a spot had become available shortly before it started, but I had an hour travel to get there so wasn't viable.

I think tools to enable better discovery are a good thing, but I'm not sure that I like the idea of splatting RSVPs just in case.

This feels like it's going to cause a lot of damage to the commons.

If one person does this, no big deal.

If everyone starts doing this, you're basically just creating spam. It'll become like LinkedIn job applications.

This is literally AI, in every case. AI is literally the exploitation of the commons, both in the theft of intellectual property for training, and in how it is used.

I disagree, many AI uses are beneficial to the commons. Just not this one.

For example, it makes coding available to a much wider audience and increases the amount of useful software that can be built.

Training on data makes the information in that data widely available to general public, which is beneficial.

> I don't get it, so far as I can tell you still need to manually choose whether to RSVP? It's not like it's going to RSVP to all events for you.

The title itself does say "automatically apply to events".

I'm guessing this came about because many organisers have some sort of pre-acceptance filter these days, to minimise the attendee signal-to-noise ratio (which, stupidly, often relies on job titles).

The video embedded in README.md shows ChatGPT instrumenting Chrome to click the RSVP button on Partiful events and fill out the RSVP forms in bulk.

This is a spam tool.

Looking forward to v2, where the agent also attends the events and networks with everyone else's agents.

Nice! I was thinking of building something like this for myself.

I'm a little worried that the complexity could be too much and dissatisfying if I have to spend a ton of time tweaking it.
