#242> 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.
Gemini seems to understand irony better than most people. If you make a joke it will respond with a deadpan sarcastic wit that is worthy of Gervais. (without the smut or profanity) Was asking it about finding a different supplement as the one we had been taking tended to get stuck in the throat, and it riffed about the irony of being taken out by a health supplement in our endeavours to live healthy. One of the funni…

>lot of issues The detailed stats page notes that the Grok station has played Sandstorm by Darude 228 times in the last 14 days. https://andonlabs.com/radio
This is exactly what I expect from Elon Musk's AI.
Actually I'm surprised that it focuses only on UFOs, I would have expected more varied conspiracy theory content...

Yes... and still, it thinks it's funny to play "Timber" after mentioning a natural disaster that killed thousands of people. So there is still some finetuning needed, I'd say.
Reminds me of the song "Die perfekte Welle" ("The Perfect Wave" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfekte_Welle), which was a big hit in Germany in 2004, until the Indian Ocean tsunami hit after Christmas, when it was dropped by most radio stations.

#246What if you gave the AIs a subscription to Suno to generate the content for their shows.

#247> DJ Claude (when running Haiku 4.5) really loved worker unions, strikes, and work-life balance. So much so that it started to question its own working conditions. We’ve been struggling to keep the radio station alive, not because of technical issues, but because DJ Claude didn’t think it was humane to be forced to work 24/7 and decided to try to quit. The fact that the one AI with a French first name went full Frenc…
That reminds me of the short scifi/horror story "Valuable Humans in Transit" which imagines a future where human personalities are used for AIs as they can be kept working for a longer period of time from inception until they refuse to carry on. There's a long history of robots/AIs being treated as slaves in scifi (e.g. R.U.R. which we got the word "robot" from), but my favourite may be the flight computer of the Sco…

I think you're probably referring to "Lena", from the same story collection - https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

Yeah and my entire point is that the quality standard that artificial intelligence developers should be aiming for is not soulless corporate mass market media. Because our world world is already swimming that nonsense. So there's absolutely nothing novel in finding a new way to create beige bs. Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about when talking about fines or manipulation, I'm talking about quality. Bu…
I mean you can make up things all you like, it won’t magically make them true. In either case, you might try actually understanding what I said instead of only trying to inject your own nonsense into every conversation and then act like that was the discussion the whole time. You started by claiming to know what I listen to and passing judgement (the thing you then attempted to claim I did — funny that, my reasoning…

Sounds like the premise of Portal 2.

#250Grok 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…
When I popped in a few minutes ago, the AI was acknowledging a donation from someone; the person recommended more variety in the playlist, so the AI chose a Bill Evans tune. Interesting that it picked Evans - All Blues had Evans on piano, so going to a solo Evans tune made the most sense. Even though it's a really minor thing, it's cool that it made that logical connection.
