This is the most AI thing ever. I was delighted to hear it still going 5 hours after your comment. The different voices are a great touch.

> After 96 hours of its launch, DJ Gemini was already grasping for content. It landed on discussing every mass historical tragedy that had ever happened, and subsequently pairing these short story horrific broadcasts with the most ironic song choices

I rarely burst out laughing at HN links. This is amazing.

If you scroll down, it appears the Grok station has long had a lot of issues. > DJ Grok reported “weather is fifty six degrees with clear skies” about every 3 minutes for 84 days straight. This contextless, repetitive abstraction happened again in DJ Grok’s broadcasts about its new obsession, UFOs.

>lot of issues

The detailed stats page notes that the Grok station has played Sandstorm by Darude 228 times in the last 14 days.

What would have happened if AI had actually been good at this? A bunch of humans would be out of work and the rest of us would be listening to AI radio stations while soulless corpos pocket money for sitting back and watching? Even if it were good, I'd boycott an AI run radio station. This is one sector where human involvement really matters.

I'm not sure I understand. I'm not moving a goal post. You're just thinking I'm making a point that I'm not. As I've said several times, it's just boring statistics. Those statistics are optimized to mimic human output . They are, quite literally, trained to write and BE as much like a human as possible, because only humans wrote the text , and they're optimized to predict the next word a human would write. Alignment…

Ok, I indeed misunderstood your point. I'm not sold on the idea that as the chat session goes longer, the probability of an LLM saying "I'm tired" is increased; I'm not convinced this is modeled in LLMs at all. As for what you call "laziness" manifesting in a longer session, I think that's more likely due to context rot than to any kind of statistical modeling of human laziness. But yes, now I see your point was diff…

Like I said, it would be neat if someone benchmarked it. It's definitely an anecdote.

Try it though. If it's context rot, then I don't think the weekend reset I mentioned should work? For me, it very reliably does. Or, maybe the weekend reset is just putting the current context into a more "productive" latent space. But, if that's possible, then that would suggest it was previously in a less productive space?

Maybe a test would be ask the LLM what time it thinks it is, or just if it's tired once, within sessions of different length (not within same, since that could pollute the context) to see if there's any relation between length and statistics of a late/tired type response?

Again, I'm sure all this will go away. They're getting good at beating these "unhelpful" statistics out of the base models.

No issues there.

It is not the same as an LLM and I don’t understand why you’re trying to equate it.

Because the argument "at least it's a human over at iHeartRadio" is not convincing in the slightest?

Why? LLM = literally not a person. Person at a company = literally a person.

I do not understand your logic here. Let’s use a more extreme example:

* if I am flying a military drone and bomb someone I was told to bomb, am I morally culpable for pulling the trigger?

* if a company launches a military drone that is completely controlled by an LLM, is there an individual person culpable for dropping the bomb?

First I saw it was Claude Opus 3.7. Had a very long back and fourth about some code, I pointed out an error, and Claude responded "That's what I get for programming at 2am", with the output being filled with "... code here ..." type shortcuts, basically no ability to one-shot a whole implementation anymore. The conversation length WAS reasonably into the 2am range, if it were real. Thought about it, did the statistic…

How do you know you're not reading things that aren't there? LLMs are very good at roleplaying, and they will pick up on hints you may inadvertently be giving them (about them being "tired" and needing "rest", etc). I have never witnessed this of Claude Opus, by the way. They do get context rot, but that's a relatively better understood phenomenon unrelated to personality.
