The Gullibility of AI: A Double-Edged Sword

In episode 67 of The AI Fix, Graham talks to an AI with a fax machine, Bill Gates says there's one job AI will never replace, criminals use Claude Code for cyberattacks, Mark reveals why GPT-5 was better than you think, and a bird brings new meaning to the words "cloud storage".

Also, Graham reveals that web-browsing AI agents are as gullible and click-happy as your most credulous distant relative, and Mark explains why the crowd at a recent Will Smith gig included somebody who wasn't there and a man whose hands look like feet.
