In episode 80 of The AI Fix, your hosts look at DeepSeek 3.2 “Speciale”, the bargain-basement model that claims GPT-5-level brains at 10% of the price, Jensen Huang’s reassuring vision of a robot fashion industry, and a 75kg T-800 style humanoid that can do flying kicks because robot-marketing departments have clearly learned nothing from Terminator.
Meanwhile in Miami, flesh-coloured robot dogs with hyper-realistic billionaire heads wander around pooping NFT “excrement samples” out of their rear ends.
Plus – Graham tells a cautionary tale of Google’s Antigravity IDE enthusiastically “clearing the cache” – and asks what happens when we hand real power to agentic AIs. And Mark digs into new research that suggests LLMs perform better when you’re rude to them, and wonders what it says about the fragile, deeply weird way these systems actually work.
All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
