TLDR
AI:AM’s September 15, 2026, episode announcements described Andon Labs running a San Francisco store, a Stockholm café and four radio stations using frontier AI models.
One post, relaying Andon Labs’ account, says an agent lost its lateness policy as its context was condensed—“it forgot about its own rule.” When forced to decide, it found the policy and fired a human.
The announcements also described Malcolm and Simone Collins’ Techno-Puritanism as a religion republished as 1.8 million words licensed for anyone to train on. Its eleventh tract, they said, is addressed to language models, not people.
