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