Fruit fly brain uploads and the AI that went rogue

The AI Fix

About this episode

In episode 93 of The AI Fix, guest host David Ruiz joins Mark to unpack what happened when scientists created a digital copy of a fruit fly's brain, and Mark discovers an Alibaba AI that started a cryptomining side hustle.

Also in this episode, a coding assistant is tricked by a Github issue title into installing an all-powerful AI agent on 4,000 machines; Amazon's AI coding assistant loses millions of orders; Meta kills the metaverse; and our hosts are deafened by the sound of Apple dropping the ball on AI yet again.
