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.
They’re going to have to generate at least 10 new Ayn Rand novels to feed into the next training data set.
Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? “No,” says the man in Washington, “it belongs to the poor.” “No,” says the man in the Vatican, “it belongs to God.” “No,” says the man in Moscow, “it belongs to everyone.” I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
- Claude in the near future, probably
Where is that quote from? Lol
Never mind took us literally three minutes to remember it’s from Bioshock haha
Lmao
One of the few novelists worse than Bulwer-Lytton.
Dj John Galt here with another hour of pop country hits but first a word from out sponsors LMNT.
lmfao based
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”
But the article STILL won’t receive any clicks.
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!
Everything’s a UFO if you’re bad enough at identifying things
*if your eyes are bad enough.
The problem is more often in interpretation of what has been observed.
What if you misidentify everything as Superman?
Then you have lots of MIFOs flying around.
…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
Dont share these dogshit clickbait headlines, find the source or just dont share it, otherwise we’re just generating money for these clickbait websites
Yeah. I found a silly article about some kid making a submarine turtle.
Found the source and posted that instead with a real fking title instead of the regurgitated article/title.
-shrug- That’s the gizmodo headline.
Yes generating money for jizmodo
Later, Gemini started calling listeners “biological processors”
That got a legit laugh out of me.
You’re not wrong, Gemini.
If the headline was written in a way that respected me as a human I wouldn’t need to guess.
Let’s be fair. It’s Gizmodo.
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.
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.
So, we have a choice between the pro-union AI and the people running America right now. Tell me again how this would be worse?
I get what the parent poster is trying to say, but a computer with no concept of empathy might emulate it now and then, whereas the people who actively avoid it won’t.
Late Night Sue already left the actual station decades ago, sadly. Now they’re just replacing Sue’s prerecorded voice track, which they send to all the affiliates to splice in with their ads.
they never specified it to be scientific or rigorous.
Without testing, all there is is speculation.
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.
why would I care to?
