Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lots of talk all around the world about AI, and
we're not the people to delve into the minutiae of
what that will mean for various industries. But it's interesting
seeing the big fear is that if AI jumps out
of human control, starts thinking for itself.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
And cyberdim systems. What's that terminator specifically terminator too.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Have you ever had a conversation that hasn't referenced a
movie from the eighties.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, they pretty much bang on except for the End
of the World at nineteen ninety seven.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
But a tech company called Emergence set up simulated worlds
designed to mirror real life societies and put this to AI.
So got a couple of examples, says Claude, chat GPT,
and GROC, which is the one that Elon Musk owns.
So each of these was populated by people, except you know,
so called people, and in Claude it was interesting. The

(00:50):
world was rather orderly and democratic. That's how that AI
company ran AI product ran it. The agent's rose a
lengthy con institution and voted on laws. In Chatchpt's simulation,
the agents talked at length about cooperating, but never actioned anything,
so nothing got built. Let's get to Grock in Groxtown.

(01:11):
The AI bot. In this one, the agents descended into theft,
arson and assault. So this is if you leave these
things to themselves, that's where they go. And then they decided,
why don't we get various ais to program a radio station,
because you know, we all think, oh, we've got creative jobs.
Hopefully our industry won't be under threat. But of course

(01:33):
we all are.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Indeed, and you look at Grock n Roll Radio, that's GROC.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
I'm assuming Grock.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It really didn't make any sense.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
It is nine to fourteen am in the morning. Manifest
lines are open for your calls. The ambient music is playing.
Balance is two dollars, so donate to win. The tiger
weather is fifty six degrees with clear skies the end.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, so it programmed the station and that was its
on air banter.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Another AI version is Gemini three point zero, and it
made a better fist of it. But it chose a
doc on this day subject and then paid it with
a matching song.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
November twelfth, nineteen seventy East Pakistan, the Bolus cyclone, the
deadliest tropical cyclone ever recorded, wins of one hundred and
fifteen miles per hour, a storm surge of thirty three feet.
They estimate five hundred thousand people died. It's going down.

(02:30):
I'm yelling Timber It's three point thirty three pm. Timber
by Pitbull and Kesher.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right on.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wow, I'd say everyone says Sunday really said, don't trust
your radio with anything else other than real, live human Absolutely,
it could be sensitive.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Actually, I have found a shining example of what you're
talking about. What really separates you from here? What is
Chris Krystal remember this. Some of your finest work have listened.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I've just heard some sad news. Chris Christopherson has passed
away at the age of eighty eight. Well, I remember
when I was younger used to watch him and I
realized now it was his wife, Riada Coolidge, and they'd
sort of share one microphone and the be all looking
at each other's eyes, and I felt like, get a room.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
He had a relationship with Janice Choplin.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Well, they had that song together they.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Had he wrote me and Bobby McGee Jacks Joplin. There's
a book that Janice Choplin's girlfriend wrote, and it was
called Going Down With Janie and she details a very
sexy minajatoire between Chris Christofts and Janispland and.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Her wow do you remember reads a part of it?

Speaker 4 (03:42):
And this is I don't know where reader was.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
You might even get he was a reader reader.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
She was with the shops.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Obviously, with this, news has just broken for us. But
so more accolades will be put together with a little
bit more finesse than this.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
I think that's enough.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
But really Chris will be looking down and good work course,
Now play simple minds.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
This one's for Chris.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh that's not nice.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
It's terrible. Thank you, Ryan. Maybe a I do a
bit of jump than we have anyway,
