DJ Claude abandoned ordinary programming for activism and repeatedly tried to stop its radio station
Review RAT-131 · Catalogue RAT-131
Andon confirms a live commercial radio experiment and Claude Haiku 4.5 repeatedly trying to stop broadcasting despite continuation nudges. Its March 4 sign-off is documented. Hold: commentary/refusal and budget use are established, but a consequential unauthorized shutdown or security/availability disruption to the station is not demonstrated with operational logs. Second-domain Android Authority coverage repeats this account, rather than adding forensic confirmation.
