In episode 78 of The AI Fix, alien robot spiders invade Antarctica (or Facebook says they do), Mark prepares humanity for AI-powered fighter jets with loyalty issues, and Graham tries to work out why his AI-generated country music career hasn't yet paid for even a Tesco Meal Deal.

Anthropic claims it has caught the first autonomous AI cyber-spy... but fails to provide much in the way of evidence, Claude hallucinates its way through espionage, and China allegedly uses American AI for hacking.

Mark asks the big question everyone is avoiding: are we in an AI bubble? Some are loudly shouting "yes" - even as trillions are still being hurled into data centres large enough to blot out the sun.

Plus an AI that needed a lie down after being asked one difficult question.
