The AI Fix

Hacked robots and power-hungry AI


Listen Later

In episode 71 of The AI Fix, a giant robot spider goes backpacking for a year before starting its job in lunar construction, DoorDash builds a delivery Minion, and a TikToker punishes an AI by making it talk to condiments. GPT-5 crushes the humans at the ICPC World Finals, Claude Sonnet 4.5 codes for 30 hours straight, and someone builds a 5-million-parameter transformer entirely inside Minecraft.

Plus: Graham investigates how a simple security flaw left fleets of Unitree robots wide open to hackers, and Mark learns that we’re going to need five nuclear power plants to train just one frontier model by 2028.
