In episode 62 of The AI Fix, your hosts learn how AI models smash through CAPTCHA roadblocks like they're made of wet tissue paper - so much for humanity’s last line of defence. 

Meanwhile, we meet a bottle-flipping robot and call BS on a cartwheeling cyborg, Graham has a full-blown breakdown over traffic light puzzles, and Anthropic hires an AI psychiatry team to figure out why its bots are unhinged.

Also: Microsoft helpfully tells us which jobs are toast, Vogue replaces models with AI-generated glam-bots, and a tiny homebrew neural net humiliates the big boys at Sudoku.

Plus, Mark explores GEPA — the AI prompt optimiser that politely mutates your questions until they’re 35 times more effective than reinforcement learning.
