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?
All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
