Fantastic voyage, and the technological singularity

In episode four of The AI Fix, Graham and Mark learn there's a 99.9% chance that AI will wipe out humans within 100 years, examine the even more chilling prospect of Barney the dinosaur reading Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf to six-year-olds, and resurrect a tried-and-trusted software evaluation method to decide if Claude 3.5 Sonnet is better than ChatGPT-4o.

Graham overshares on the subject of Meg Ryan while talking about a pill-sized medical robot, and Mark explains why humanity's future might feel a bit like being Steve Wozniak's pet.
