In episode 68 of The AI Fix, our hosts open the show by launching the thing nobody asked for but everybody wanted: our shiny new merch store - yes, including the “Would YOU trust a pigeon???” t-shirt for when you need fashion alongside health and safety.

Meanwhile, AI hoaxers send Manila firefighters racing to an imaginary blaze, Albania appoints an AI as a minister, and the godfather of AI gets dumped... by ChatGPT.

Plus Mark shows off his ventriloquism skills, while Graham describes a near-telepathic wearable that lets you “talk” without moving your lips, and we look into how humanity and AI has joined forces to fight for AI rights.
