⚠️ 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.

Anthropic's Assistant Axis
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.
IF ONLY HE'D LISTENED, RIGHT???

Cover art for The AI Fix with Mark's head at the correct size, finally.
Finally, I get the cover art all to myself.

What's most unsettling about this is—I can't get it out of my head. I don't want it in there, but it's always there, singing away, taking up a little corner of my brain.
Is this the future? AI goes out to work and we just replay endless brain worms?
Also in episode 69, Graham learns that more people have used ChatGPT than have ever owned a ferret, and I finally find a use for cryptocurrency.

It's utter drivel. Catchy nonsense. Glorious slop.
In other words, it's what every generation of kids inflicts on its parents. And once you hear it, you'll have to smooth your brain folds out with a belt sander before it stops playing in your head.
Has AI created the most annoying thing in the world?
In episode 69 of The AI Fix, @grahamcluley.com and I discover Brain Rot, the Gen Alpha AI craze that's even more annoying than Crazy Frog ringtones.
Plus, @grahamcluley.com digs into the spat between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, and I learn that humanity could be saved by vaccinating AI against evil.

A row of computers, one of which is under protected.
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.

52.8 is greater than 69.1
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.

Yes, they are predicting the next word in a sentence, but they aren't improvising at each word, they're thinking about the whole sentence and planning ahead.
As Geoffrey Hinton said, "you have to be really intelligent to predict the next word accurately".
Large Language Models plan ahead
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.
AI robot throwing up nuts and bolts.
In our next episode, we find out how AIs often vomit up unpleasant stuff.

All is revealed in episode 42 of @theaifix.show, when I introduce @grahamcluley.com to the "reversal curse".
Graham also has a brainwave about the creepy Neo Gamma robot ads, a crow plays peek-a-boo, humans give up writing, and an AI designs a drug.
