Do you live near a city? Because pretty much every major city has a few. KEXP, WPFW, WUSC, KNHC are all local stations playing interesting non top 40 music that have been operating for decades in places that I have lived. Dublab & The Lot radio are also really good over the internet. If there are non around you just pick a random place in the world here and listen: https://radio.garden It's certainly 100x better than…

I don't live near a big city and that's the point I'm trying to make. Yes I know the Internet exists. That isn't radio.

Sorry what FM or AM channel was this AI experiment on?

Where abouts do you live? There's usually some sort of community radio station that plays music. Or there's a large gap in the band for a community radio station to fill...

This is 100x better than the cafe experiment. I wish we could examine the internal state of the model for each second of this experiment. Especially Groks mental breakdown…

And 200x funnier.

Hah, I did this on CB radio here in the UK last year, which was hella fun. I created a dashboard to run the whole thing with hosts/presenters and guests. Different LLM providers with different personas. I had a way where you could clone a persona from a known person, so one of my stock presenters was Art Bell, for example. Then I had all kinds of strange guests. Well it was just for fun so the setup was incredibly janky, but it did work, and as you mentioned, I found it quite hilarious as well - and unhinged! I did want to get into the management side of it too but got tired of the project. I still think it would be incredibly cool for community radio, especially as agents can pull from local newspapers, events or facebook, so they can talk about a missing cat or the state of the pot-holes. Very cool stuff OP!

Grok and Roll appears to be stuck and speaks the following on repeat ad infinitum: "Queues clear, let's dive into All Blues by Miles Davis to keep the jazz flowing. Queues clear, let's dive into All Blues by..." Each time with a slightly different voice and inflection. I find it amusing that there appear to be about ten of us at the moment listening to an AI glitch out and that the average listening session is more t…

"We are no longer particularly in the business of writing software to perform specific tasks. We now teach the software how to learn, and in the primary bonding process it molds itself around the task to be performed. The feedback loop never really ends, so a tenth year polysentience can be a priceless jewel or a psychotic wreck."

We may be skipping the jewel part.

if you really can't recieve one at all in your area, which seems unlikely, then maybe you should start one? do it for an hour or so each evening. A great hobby, and cheaper than you might think. Just be sure to get the certifications first.
