In episode 76 of The AI Fix, two US federal judges blame AI for imaginary case law, a Chinese "humanoid" dramatically sheds its skin onstage, Toyota unveils a crabby walking chair creeps us out, Google plans AI chips in orbit, robot dogs get jobs at Sellafield, and AI writes cruise-ship gags from the 1950s (but a little less racist.)

Plus: Graham gives all his credit card numbers away in an attempt to buy AI-generated jokes, and Mark asks a terrifying question: if you make an LLM “notice its noticing,” does it start sounding... conscious?

In episode 75 of The AI Fix, a Claude-powered robot gets so anxious about its dying battery that it composes a Broadway musical about stress and announces it’s “achieved consciousness and chosen chaos.”

Also: an 18-month psychological study reveals five reasons why ChatGPT is a dangerously bad therapist, Elon Musk’s million-robot army, a politician loses a debate with a dreadful AI deepfake, a tiny robot walks off with a 1.5-ton car, and we discover that the 1X NEO home help robot really does have a person inside it.

In episode 74 of The AI Fix, we meet Amazon's AI-powered delivery glasses, an AI TV presenter who doesn't exist, and an Ohio lawmaker who wants to stop people from marrying their chatbot.

Also, we learn how Geoffrey Hinton and Steve Wozniak have teamed up with the unlikely coupling of will.i.am and Steve Bannon to pull the brakes on "super-intelligence."

Meanwhile, Graham wonders if you should really trust an AI browser with your passwords, or your credit card, or, frankly, anything at all, and Mark reveals what AGI really means - and how close we are to reaching it.

It’s an episode packed with deepfaked sidebars, brain-rotted AIs, and humans who still can’t take selfies properly...
