⚠️ Never use an LLM to generate a password. ⚠️ A password is only safe if it’s hard to guess. That means no predictable patterns, no 123456, no p@ssword!, no dictionary words, no pet names, no favourite sports teams. It needs to be random. Something like: G7$kL9#mQ2&xP4!w

When it comes to AI you can have safe or honest, not both. Research suggests that the neurons stopping hallucinations are the same neurons stopping the AI from telling you how to make ricin. Want more honesty? It's easier to jailbreak. Want better guardrails? Sorry, it's a big fat liar now.

In episode 87 of The AI Fix, @ai-fix-mark.bsky.social and guest host Nik Roberts take yet another gulp from AI's infinite well of creepy things, and discover a robot that learned to lip sync in the mirror. Sadly, we can't confirm whether it did so while singing into a hairbrush.

Do you wish your AI was a bit less... demonic? A little less ghostly and a bit more consultant-y? Strangely, even if you don't, you probably do.

I'm asking GPT-5 to create some illustrations for me, and I'm starting to wonder if its much heralded "tool use" includes MS Paint.

Apparently, GPT-5's facility with "sustaining unrhymed iambic pentameter" is going to make it better at helping you with "everyday tasks like drafting and editing reports." As long as those reports don't contain charts, I guess.
52.8 is greater than 69.1

Large Language Models (LLMs) don't work the way we thought. LLMs are sometimes described as next-word predictors or likened to a fancy autocomplete. Recent research from Anthropic shows that they are far more than that.
Large Language Models plan ahead

Elon Musk's AI is more left wing than Mark Zuckerberg's, and way, way closer to AOC and Bernie Sanders than it is to Trump.

AIs really, really don't want to draw six-fingered gloves. An @theaifix.show listener asked two AIs to "create an image of a leather glove from the time of the three musketeers novel. This glove needs to have six fingers. It should be lying on a lace doily on a table." Count the fingers.
A five-fingered musketeer's glove.

Only 10% of people have a higher IQ than ChatGPT. Four of OpenAI's models now have an above average IQ, according to the Tracking AI website, and one of them is above 120. Which begs the question, what if Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has already been invented, and we just didn't notice?
