In episode 54 of The AI Fix, Graham saves humanity with a CAPTCHA, Mark wonders whether AI can suffer, ChatGPT throws shade at Abba's Björn Ulvaeus, an AI called Jack ask if you want fries with that, an artist invents AI bird poop, and Eric Schmidt says we should unplug AI when it gets direct access to weapons.

Graham finds out what happens when a rag tag team of AIs is given 30 days to raise money for charity, and Mark explores model collapse and Claude Opus 4.0's weird obsession with a fictional factory-farmed chicken company.
