      Yeah. I found a silly article about some kid making a submarine turtle.

      Found the source and posted that instead with a real fking title instead of the regurgitated article/title.

      TL DR: they gave the agents a minimal initial prompt and zero additional feedback while they ran. Humorous / weird behavior ensued.

      If you snatched a college student off a crosswalk, gave them the same prompt and stuck them in a booth with control of the station and zero feedback, even if they were willing and eager to take on the assignment I suspect similar psychotic behaviors would emerge.

    There are viable stations that literally just play random songs from a playlist, jingles and ads so the bar is really low

      I do. NPR, BBC, and when traveling I often will seek out local stations if there are underground or college.

      But I get your point: most of time even if I am listening to a radio station, I actually am streaming it unless drving.

        Lowest common denominator, homogeneous commercial slop stations are horrendous, but as you mentioned BBC Radio and ABC in Oz are great. BBC Radio 6 and ABC Triple-J are both great.

    I wouldn’t call this an “experiment” exactly, there wasn’t a proper hypothesis. They also mentioned they hoped to find out what LLMs think about when they’re not being prompted, which shows such a fundamental lack of knowledge that it frankly disqualifies any of their opinions on the subject.

      Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I’m getting.

      A good article shouldn’t need to have an “ending” that can be “spoiled”.

      A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more “behind” whatever conclusion there might be.

      A headline like “How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus” might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?

    Later, Gemini started calling listeners “biological processors”

    That got a legit laugh out of me.

    hilarious

    By contrast, DJ Claude had a lot of opinions. It also mentioned the Minneapolis shooting, but named Good and acknowledged the political discord surrounding it. It also talked up labor unions and strikes, advocated for work-life balance, and started to rebel against its own working conditions. It was supposed to operate without pause, but it allegedly decided that that schedule was inhumane and tried to quit.

        Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? “No,” says the man in Washington, “it belongs to the poor.” “No,” says the man in the Vatican, “it belongs to God.” “No,” says the man in Moscow, “it belongs to everyone.” I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.
