Earlier quoted context omitted.

If you don't want to come back, we will replace you with AI. And even if you do come back. Welcome to the future.

Not a lawyer or course, but be careful how you do this. Meta already has patents for using LLMs to create simulacrums posting on behalf of inactive or deceased users.

Just joking, not gonna contribute to the sloppification.

This is a research lab that looks at things like how LLMs perform on long running tasks. The research has nothing to do with replacing radio stations. That said, the ship sailed a long time ago and has nothing to do with AI (except maybe recommender system). Spotify and competitors are actual automated “radio” stations. IMO, the second worst part (after ads) is the DJ banter, and I like to just listen to music. Befor…

I'm not scared at all about this replacing radio stations. It's like being worried that soylent is going to replace restaurants.

Just because something is called an experiment doesn't mean that it automatically is useful and should be done. And in this case it is just a waste of time and energy of both the people reading it and the machines processing it.

> a real business

Music radio is not a real business. The royalties are absurd and the audits are a nightmare. Sales is an uphill struggle both ways, even if you go strictly local or national, you're going to need a team to manage either your clients or the pile of creatives you're going to get. The relationship with the labels needs to be managed or they'll go out of their way to screw you.

Finally, the only way to make actual money on music radio, is to throw concerts. It's the only place a legitimate "P&L" exists.

"This setup gives us insight into an interesting question: what do AIs think about when no one is prompting them?"

Ugh. This is not an interesting question because the answer is "nothing".

But more to the point, some crucial info is missing in this experiment. What prompts were being fed to the AI? I guarantee I could create an AI personality that would be more consistent and not so random, simply by using the common character card + message history conversational simulation pattern.

AIs don't have personalities unless you give them personalities.
