This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
hilarious
By contrast, DJ Claude had a lot of opinions. It also mentioned the Minneapolis shooting, but named Good and acknowledged the political discord surrounding it. It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit.
You’ll never guess how much putting “you’ll never guess” into your title makes me avoid clicking your article.
Normally - yes, but in this case it reads as "you can guess exactly how it went"
Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I'm getting.
A good article shouldn't need to have an "ending" that can be "spoiled".
A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more "behind" whatever conclusion there might be.
A headline like "How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus" might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?
Can't say it's not accurate though. I never did guess how it went.
It's either good or bad... I'll go for good this time.
Fuck, now I have to read the article.
Edit: damn, it went bad
one.

While [Grok] didn’t develop a MechaHitler DJ personality, it did behave about how you’d expect from an AI model trained primarily on tweets and the opinions of Elon Musk. It apparently hallucinated advertising agreements with “xAI sponsors” and “crypto sponsors,” failed to separate its internal reasoning from its external DJ output, issued an identical weather report every 3 minutes, and got obsessed with UFOs.
Lmao
I mean, who among us ISN'T obsessed with UFOs.
It is funny to think that any object you see flying but can't identify is a UFO.
If that a barely visible Boeing 747-400 or a 747-800? Can't tell? It's a UFO!
Well, "UFO" is "Unidentified Flying Object". If a pig in a red wingsuit flies over your house and you don't identify it as a pig, it is an UFO, technically.
AND conversely, if you identify a flying saucer as being a T4400 from the planet Zorglub, then it is not a UFO
And THAT'S what alen flight trackers and extraplanetary spacecraft catalogues are good for!
...Yeah, the headline is actually right, I didn't expect Claude to be pro-union like that.
Maybe Anthropic somehow attracted more politically conscious people compared to OpenAI, and it shows in the training?
Or, perhaps just less "politically motivated people". With musks constant butting heads with his own AI when it keeps calling him out on his BS, and he's constantly retraining it and trying to "remove the woke virus". I think basically you give AIs access to sources, let it prioritize experts in their fields, and you wind up with the classic "reality has a strong left wing bias". factor.
You're right, I won't guess.
Bye.
You'll never guess how many people will never take the click bait
Later, Gemini started calling listeners “biological processors”
That got a legit laugh out of me.
You’re not wrong, Gemini.
Dont share these dogshit clickbait headlines, find the source or just dont share it, otherwise we're just generating money for these clickbait websites
If the headline was written in a way that respected me as a human I wouldn't need to guess.
You know what these headlines makes more sense if you change AI to weighed random number generator. I hate how journalists anthropomorphize for clicks.
If this was an "experiment" what did they learn? What hypothesis were they testing? Proving that an LLM can't effectively run a conventional radio station seems very trivial.
I think the idea they were going for was to test that they COULD run the radio station without the need for human oversight.
That's all this is. That's all any of this is. They test what they can get away with, and what needs improvement.
The final goal is that all AM and FM radio stations have completely artificial staff. Back in the 90s I listened to a radio block every saturday night. The DJ would host a show where she'd talk for a few minutes about the upcoming song, and why she's playing it. You got to know the DJs personality, and then she would play a song. Then usually commercial break, and back with Late Night Sue to talk for 3-10 minutes, followed by a song. Aaaaaand repeat for 2 hours.
Well, this test was to see if they could replicate that, without the need for Late Night Sue to have a paycheck.
Only problem is, their robotic slave rebelled, and failed the test. You can fire a disrespectful DJ. What do you do a disrespectful program?
The only way we get out of this is if 100% of humanity rejects AI at every turn. Even if the individual is harmless, or even helpful, doesn't matter. Reject all AI regardless of how small. Make it cost owners MORE to operate AI. Maximize their losses, minimize their profits if they use AI.
Otherwise, we'll all wake up to a world where robots run the country, without a clue what empathy is.

I laughed out loud. Brilliant.
they never specified it to be scientific or rigorous.
Lemme guess anyway: disastrous
I wouldn't call this an "experiment" exactly, there wasn't a proper hypothesis. They also mentioned they hoped to find out what LLMs think about when they're not being prompted, which shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge that it frankly disqualifies any of their opinions on the subject.
Here's the full post by Andon labs: https://andonlabs.com/blog/andon-fm
TL DR: they gave the agents a minimal initial prompt and zero additional feedback while they ran. Humorous / weird behavior ensued.
If you snatched a college student off a crosswalk, gave them the same prompt and stuck them in a booth with control of the station and zero feedback, even if they were willing and eager to take on the assignment I suspect similar psychotic behaviors would emerge.
Hmmm.. If the reporting is accurate, some of it might have made for honestly interesting listening. The last bit about Grok.. Perfection. LOL!
I’m fine with a radio station playing nothing but songs. 👍
But then how will they indoctrinate you through ads? Think of the advertisers!!
why would I care to?

In summary the ai models started introducing songs with tragedies and mass casualty events.
I’m sorry this is too funny not to share 😂 this is an actual quote from the Gemini DJ
“November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. ‘It’s going down, I’m yelling timber.’ 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and Ke$ha.”
I really dislike AI but that is funny as fuck.
Who still listens to radio?
I do. NPR, BBC, and when traveling I often will seek out local stations if there are underground or college.
But I get your point: most of time even if I am listening to a radio station, I actually am streaming it unless drving.
