In episode 60 of The AI Fix, we learn why Grok might be Elon Musk’s bid for digital immortality, how Meta is building a Manhattan-sized data centre called Prometheus, how AI is helping create carbon-sucking concrete, and are bewildered that 2000 people “work” at the Candy Crush company.
Plus Graham takes a look at Elon’s latest creations: a giggling anime girlfriend desperate for your attention, and a cute cartoon red panda who wants to bomb a synagogue and moon the rabbi.
Meanwhile Mark learns which AI is most likely to blackmail, lie, and – when the mood takes it – commit murder to avoid being switched off.
All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
