In episode 52 of The AI Fix, our hosts watch a non-existent musical about garlic bread, Graham shares a summer reading list of books that don't exist, Mark feels nauseous after watching a video of Sam Altman and Jony Ive waffling about products that don't exist, some non-existent robots stack empty crates in a factory that doesn't exist, and OpenAI releases Codex, an AI agent destined to make your software engineering job not exist. Graham reveals how an AI called "Thy" has ruined his childhood dream of becoming a late night radio DJ, and Mark looks at an experiment that showed groups of AI agents spontaneously create social norms—the building blocks of a society.
