i'm surprised how negative of a reception Andon is getting here on HN. keep hacking, Andon!

This is their third publicity stunt in the past couple of months. It follows the exact same pattern of attention seeking at the expense of the commons. At this point they seem like a bunch of low empathy jerks. They are gleefully describing their progress in developing yet new frontiers in AI slop. I’m sure they are all very pleased to think that they will be profiting from a future where ai slop is everywhere. I could go on but it’s tedious.

As part of the ongoing expansion of https://rainy-city.com multimedia empire I too have launched an AI enabled radio station. It’s more trip hop rainy city vibes. If it’s streaming and the job hasn’t fallen over on my server (there are many tasks that I as mayor of rainy-city.com must oversee), then you can find it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/2Q7r9P16GRs?si=kwiSQMeN9wExdHer This is a non revenue generati…

Is there a plan to shut it down if Jennifer develops a messianic personality cult? Or will you monitize?

iHeartRadio is not doing anything. A person at iHeartRadio is doing the work. Even if it’s automated, at some point a person handled it.

A person at IHeartRadio is doing the work the corporation tells them to do. do you think they want to play Hotel California on loop all day long?

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

    And there goes the last DJ
    Who plays what he wants to play
    And says what he wants to say
    Hey hey hey
    And there goes your freedom of choice
    There goes the last human voice
    And there goes the last DJ

The only way that anyone be worried about this slop replacing actual good human run radio is if they don't understand why people like radio & music in the first place. And what hypothesis exactly is the experiment testing? Because it doesn't really seem like there is any new or interesting information learned from this.

I think you're talking about some Platonic ideal that just doesn't exist anymore. Streaming services such as Spotify are increasingly filled with AI-generated songs and the average consumer doesn't seem to mind because we're not listening intently in the first place: it's just a background track we're not really paying attention to. I'm pretty sure that radio execs are looking at that and are taking notes. For talk r…
