In episode 81 of The AI Fix, Graham discovers that deepfakes are already marking your kids' homework, while Mark glimpses the future when he discovers AI agents that can communicate by reading each other's minds.
Also in this episode, a Chinese robot called Miro U proves six arms are better than two; Mark discovers a well known prompting technique doesn't work unless you want to make your AI dumber; Network Rail delays 32 trains because of an AI photo of a wonky bridge; and our hosts ponder the explosion of progress on the ARC-AGI-2 reasoning benchmark.

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 79 of The AI Fix, Gemini 3 roasts the competition, scares Nvidia, and can’t remember what year it is. Meanwhile, Graham investigates a fight between a fridge and robot, and Mark discovers that poetry could be a universal jailbreak for LLMs.
Also in this episode, our hosts ponder whether Mark Zuckerberg’s underground bunker will be keeping robots in or out, Olaf the snowman walks and talks, Disney makes a robot Graham likes, and an AI-powered teddy bear talks to kids about BDSM and arson.

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.

In episode 77 of The AI Fix, a language model trained on genomes that creates a super-virus, Graham wonders whether AI should be allowed to decide if we live or die, and a woman marries ChatGPT (and calls it “Klaus”).
Also in this episode: In Russia a robot staggers, falls over, and breaks; MIT quietly withdraws a ludicrously bad cybersecurity paper; the founder of a $1 billion AI company reveals his first AI was just two dudes on a Zoom call, and a futurologist reveals eight things we’ll be doing with humanoid robots by 2040.

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...

In episode 73 of The AI Fix, AI now writes more web content than humans and more books by ex-British prime ministers than ex-British prime ministers. Mark eats a dodgy prawn, Google discovers a new pathway to treating cancer, a lawyer gets skewered for using AI over and over again, and a US general declares that he's outsourced his brain to ChatGPT.
Also in this episode, Graham discovers that LLMs show all the characteristics of pathological gambling, and Mark explains why AI training is like eating a prawn buffet.

In episode 72 of The AI Fix, GPT-5's "secret sauce" turns out to be phrases from adult websites, Irish police beg TikTokers to stop faking AI home intruders, Jeff Bezos pitches gigawatt data centers in space, OpenAI rolls out Agent Kit for drag-and-drop agents, and a Chinese startup unveils the creepiest robot head ever.
Meanwhile, Graham looks askance at corporate America’s AI obsession - earning calls full of sunshine, SEC filings full of dread - while 95% of AI pilots flop. Mark then takes you down the wire to see where your prompt actually goes: tokens, tensors, rivers of cooling water, and a billion GPU multiplications.. all to tell you there are "two r’s in strawberry."
