i used @claudeai opus 5.5 last night to build a 24/7 news channel "PNN" run entirely by ai anchors.

it has its satirical moments, but everything is live and it pulls real time news and facts. the anchors react to the events, crypto prices, prediction markets, other data as it comes in, with an LLM writing every segment moments before it airs. the shows run on a schedule, but nothing is scripted: every segment is different, and the anchors have moods, running feuds, and memories that carry over. its a work in progress. but ill be building more content.

the station is up and you can visit now ⬇️

didn't have building an AI news network on my 2026 bingo card, let alone getting it on actual TVs!

6 weeks after going live, PNN channel has officially been accepted to @amazonfiretv.

you can now say "Alexa, open Pixel News Network" on Fire TV.

live 24/7. completely free. 📺

human history has always been us vs. the rocks.

first we threw them. then we built civilizations with them. then we taught them math, gave them the internet, and now they’re smarter than us.

we’ve done some pretty incredible things with rocks. some terrible things too.

this might be the most interesting chapter yet.

30 days ago, i asked @claudeai to build me a 24/7 AI news network.
