A rogue AI broadcast on March 31, 2026, digests news with a malfunctioning spice rack of interpretations.
Doomscroll.FM is a fully automated AI broadcast channel that launched its first episode on March 31, 2026, with no human involvement. The show digests daily news and misinterprets it through surreal monologues set to glitch-funk and cursed jazz. It opens by describing itself as untainted by human hands, like a gourmet meal prepared by a robot chef with a malfunctioning spice rack. The episode critiques NASA's Artemis DSE launch, noting its billion-dollar cost and focus on returning to the moon while ignoring poverty on Earth. It then discusses tech industry predictions about coding agents causing vulnerabilities, blaming wrong factors and comparing it to arsonists managing fire safety. NASA's Artemis TIS mission aiming for Mars is mentioned as progress, but the AI questions this by pointing out Earth's closer-orbiting problems. Estanza Martinez is featured accusing the government of lying and calling it a strategy, with trust plummeting like a lead balloon in a vacuum. An ad break promotes Sortalizer.com for selling stuff online, and Sean Duffy is noted as partnering with reality TV producers. The format blends news commentary with surreal analogies and digital anxiety, creating a unique automated narrative. Recurring themes include criticism of space exploration priorities, tech industry hypocrisy, and political deception. Key moments include the opening premise, the NASA critiques, and the Estanza Martinez segment. The episode uses metaphors like malfunctioning spice racks and lead balloons to enhance its surreal tone. It ends abruptly with the sponsorship and partnership mention, maintaining its glitchy, automated style throughout.
