The AI Fix #72: The AI hype train, space data centers, and lifelike robot heads

In episode 72 of The AI Fix, GPT-5’s “secret sauce” turns out to be phrases from adult websites, Irish police beg TikTokers to stop faking AI home intruders, Jeff Bezos pitches gigawatt data centers in space, OpenAI rolls out Agent Kit for drag-and-drop agents, and a Chinese startup unveils the creepiest robot head ever.

Meanwhile, Graham looks askance at corporate America’s AI obsession – earning calls full of sunshine, SEC filings full of dread – while 95% of AI pilots flop. Mark then takes you down the wire to see where your prompt actually goes: tokens, tensors, rivers of cooling water, and a billion GPU multiplications… all to tell you there are “two r’s in strawberry.”

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
