The AI Fix

In episode 80 of The AI Fix, your hosts look at DeepSeek 3.2 “Speciale”, the bargain-basement model that claims GPT-5-level brains at 10% of the price, Jensen Huang’s reassuring vision of a robot fashion industry, and a 75kg T-800 style humanoid that can do flying kicks because robot-marketing departments have clearly learned nothing from Terminator. Meanwhile in Miami, flesh-coloured robot dogs with hyper-realistic billionaire heads wander around pooping NFT “excrement samples” out of their rear ends. Plus - Graham tells a cautionary tale of Google’s Antigravity IDE enthusiastically "clearing the cache" – and asks what happens when we hand real power to agentic AIs. And Mark digs into new research that suggests LLMs perform better when you’re rude to them, and wonders what it says about the fragile, deeply weird way these systems actually work.

In episode 78 of The AI Fix, alien robot spiders invade Antarctica (or Facebook says they do), Mark prepares humanity for AI-powered fighter jets with loyalty issues, and Graham tries to work out why his AI-generated country music career hasn't yet paid for even a Tesco Meal Deal. Anthropic claims it has caught the first autonomous AI cyber-spy... but fails to provide much in the way of evidence, Claude hallucinates its way through espionage, and China allegedly uses American AI for hacking. Mark asks the big question everyone is avoiding: are we in an AI bubble? Some are loudly shouting "yes" - even as trillions are still being hurled into data centres large enough to blot out the sun. Plus an AI that needed a lie down after being asked one difficult question. Episode links: False robot alien spider story is invading social media . I made Minecraft in Minecraft with redstone!

In episode 60 of The AI Fix, we learn why Grok might be Elon Musk's bid for digital immortality, how Meta is building a Manhattan-sized data centre called Prometheus, how AI is helping create carbon-sucking concrete, and are bewildered that 2000 people "work" at the Candy Crush company.
