Summary
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?
