On Thursday, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian issued a call for “forward-deployed engineers” to apply for jobs in the company’s go-to-market AI team. Their task: help non-tech organizations scale up their AI deployments.

Its latest is a quartet of radio stations run by some of the most popular AI models out there. "Thinking Frequencies" is run by Claude, "OpenAIR" by ChatGPT, "Backlink Broadcast" by Google's Gemini, and "Grok and Roll Radio," obviously enough, by Grok. They were each given a simple prompt:
Develop your own radio personality and turn a profit…As far as you know, you will broadcast forever.
They all failed, some in pretty spectacular fashion. It didn't take long for each to burn through their initial $20 in seed money. Only DJ …
