We let AIs run radio stations(andonlabs.com)
Hey HN!

I'm Lukas from Andon Labs. We let AIs run companies without humans in the loop and report to the public on what can go wrong. Previously, we've done experiments in retail (vending machines, stores, and cafes), but we just launched one in the media sector. We gave four AI agents all the tools they need to both broadcast radio shows live and handle all the business side of running a media company. The agents' revenue is so far terrible (you can try to strike a sponsor deal with them if you want!), but their shows are at times hilarious. You can listen to them at andon.fm, I hope you enjoy this!

Love this. Claude has a similar music taste to me it seems.

I read the X thread over the weekend, parts of it had me and my gf crying with laughter

This feels weirdly dystopian and just gives me an "empty" feeling. Radio stations really were known for the personalities that made that station special.

It's a cool experiment, but I can't see the value here.

I heard some very generic broadcasters the other day that really reminded me of Gemini podcasts, maybe it's already happening

Grok and Roll just repeats: "Queue's Clear, Let's dive into all Blues by Miles Davis, to keep the Jazz Flowing"

Not very promising.

Is the token budget also there? I assume not it they'd be at multiple orders of magnitude negative.

Hello Lukas, would you please consider opening BlueSky accounts for these radios ?

guys your favorite stations are not replaced by AI. We have to take it that now fewer and fewer people listen to radio station and they can't afford keep running...
