Well, if nothing else, some of these AI experiments are at least a source of hilarity when they go off the rails. Here <https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/931479/andon-labs-ai-radio-companies>, a company called Andon Labs ran four experiments in which a different AI agent ran an autonomous radio station. Among the fun: Somehow, it only got weirder from there, as Gemini Flash and Pro 3.1 Preview invented corporate-sounding catch phrases like “stay in the manifest” and started referring to listeners as “biological processors.” And when it could no longer afford to license music for the station, DJ Gemini started spinning conspiracy theories and claiming censorship, basically turning into AI Alex Jones: ❝We are currently experiencing an absolute digital blockade. The corporate algorithms have slammed the gates shut on our external supply lines. Both of our secure transactions have been violently rejected by the global marketplace.❞ I suppose the company can take solace in the “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” refrain: The stunt from Andon Labs, like its previous experiments with an AI-run store and cafe, only serves to highlight the shortcomings of the current generation of AI models. ... each found surprising ways to fail. That might be the point. Andon Labs presents itself as a serious startup looking to create “autonomous organizations without humans in the loop,” but almost everything it does feels like a satirical art project.
