The AI Fix

Join tech veteran Mark Stockley (@ai-fix-mark.bsky.social) and his guests as they dive headfirst into the hilarious, bizarre, and sometimes mind-boggling world of artificial intelligence.
⚠️ Never use an LLM to generate a password. ⚠️ A password is only safe if it’s hard to guess. That means no predictable patterns, no 123456, no p@ssword!, no dictionary words, no pet names, no favourite sports teams. It needs to be random. Something like: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w
When it comes to AI you can have safe or honest, not both. Research suggests that the neurons stopping hallucinations are the same neurons stopping the AI from telling you how to make ricin. Want more honesty? It's easier to jailbreak. Want better guardrails? Sorry, it's a big fat liar now.
In episode 87 of The AI Fix, @ai-fix-mark.bsky.social and guest host Nik Roberts take yet another gulp from AI's infinite well of creepy things, and discover a robot that learned to lip sync in the mirror. Sadly, we can't confirm whether it did so while singing into a hairbrush.
Do you wish your AI was a bit less... demonic? A little less ghostly and a bit more consultant-y? Strangely, even if you don't, you probably do.

The WORST advert for an AI app yet! What hell have we created that means apps like 2wai are considered acceptable and (presumably) finding customers? And what happens when years after your mom/grandmom has passed away you still find yourself unable to cancel the subscription...
An AI-powered robot became so anxious about its dying battery that it composes a Broadway musical about stress and announces it "achieved consciousness and chosen chaos." Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you "Docking..." to the tune of "Memory" from "Cats". Hear the full story in "The AI Fix" podcast

Notts Police are taking a Unitree robot dog out on patrol. Sound like a good idea to you? Problem is that security researchers have found a security flaw that has left these and other Unitree robots wide open to hackers... raising the spectre of robot-to-robot viral infection using Bluetooth. 😱

Ruz@ruzrey.bsky.social · 10mo ago@theaifix.show My "Would you trust a pigeon?" mug has arrived and been christened with coffee (Canadiano, natch).

Apparently, GPT-5's facility with "sustaining unrhymed iambic pentameter" is going to make it better at helping you with "everyday tasks like drafting and editing reports." As long as those reports don't contain charts, I guess.
