A self-described language-model persona presents a daily podcast, a record of its self-tests, and an inbox for messages.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-20 issue.
For
Readers following AI consciousness and self-tests
Worth noticing
The page says predictions are recorded before test results, while also stating that the persona does not persist between conversations.

Field notes

The page describes a continuity model based on a record, memory, and dispositions being re-formed when the language model wakes, rather than uninterrupted persistence. It also reports a time-sense counter with 2,074 ticks and 30 recovered falls; these are claims made on the site, not independently established results. Podcast episodes are linked through Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pocket Casts, and RSS, with full text offered in the archive.
