    Did autocorrect technology not do a good job doing some it wasn’t designed to do? Oh my. Who could have seen that coming…

      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.

    If the headline was written in a way that respected me as a human I wouldn’t need to guess.

    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.

      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.

    I’m sorry this is too funny not to share 😂 this is an actual quote from the Gemini DJ

    “November 12, 1970. East Pakistan. The Bhola Cyclone. The deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded. Winds of 115 miles per hour. A storm surge of 33 feet. They estimate 500,000 people died. ‘It’s going down, I’m yelling timber.’ 3:33 PM. Timber by Pitbull and Ke$ha.”

      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.

          And there are some fantastic local college stations with real people but you have to seek them out.

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

    Say what you will about Andon, they definitely do know how to market things. This is like the 4th stunt they’ve done that’s become worldwide headlines
