33: AI’s deliberate deceptions, and Elon’s “unhinged” mode

In episode 33 of The AI Fix, our hosts watch a robot fall over, ChatGPT demonstrates that it can't draw a watch face but it can fire a gun, a man without a traffic cone gets trapped in his Waymo taxi, Graham discovers what social robots are, and both hosts watch horrified as somebody rips a robot's face off.

Graham explains why Elon Musk has invented an “unhinged” version of Grok and every Tesla will soon come fitted with a built-in racist uncle, and Mark looks into the disturbing phenomenon of “alignment faking”.
