    Am I being advertised an ARG via HN thread?

    Sleepbot is an old, legit indie streaming service. They've been around for a long time, I used to listen to some of the stations circa 20+ years ago because the selections were good, they'd often play music by my friends and other unknowns. The "ambience for the masses" project is more like an independent radio station. https://sleepbot.com/ambience/

    Maybe they're using your CDN to try to save some bandwidth costs and keep the service alive? Maybe reach out to him? (https://sleepbot.com/lookit/etc/dfoley.html) There's likely still a human on the other side and I doubt they're trying to do anything evil.

    If you go to the website, there's another (what looks like) personal website for the guy behind this bot. I can't honestly tell what the hell it is for, but he has mentions of various other "personality bots" on his website.

    His current employer looks to also be involved in media intelligence and scraping the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zignal_Labs
