🧠 In episode 66 of The AI Fix, hosts Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley walk listeners through a rapid-fire roundup of recent AI developments, from a ChatGPT prompt that produced an inaccurate anatomy diagram to a controversial Stanford sushi hackathon. They cover a Google Gemini bug that generated self-deprecating responses, criticisms that gave DeepSeek poor marks on existential-risk mitigation, and a debunked pregnancy-robot story. The episode also celebrates a genuine scientific advance: a team of AI agents that designed novel COVID-19 nanobodies, and considers how unusual collaborations and growing safety work could change the broader AI risk landscape.

🚀 OpenAI has released a major update to Codex, its agentic coding assistant, adding a native VS Code extension and expanded terminal and IDE support. Plus and Pro subscribers can now use Codex with every build across web, terminal, and IDE without separate API keys, as the service links to your ChatGPT account to preserve session state. The release also adds a Seamless Local ↔ Cloud Handoff to delegate paired local tasks to the cloud asynchronously, alongside CLI command upgrades and bug fixes; competitors like Claude are pursuing similar web-to-terminal integrations.

📚 ChatGPT now offers an interactive flashcard-style quiz feature within its new Study and Learn tool, designed to help users evaluate and reinforce their knowledge on any topic. Using models such as GPT-5-Thinking (or Instant/Default), the assistant generates embedded flashcards, presents answer choices, and provides a running scorecard at the end of the quiz. The system preserves conversational memory so it can refine future quizzes and adapt to a learner’s progress, aligning with research that shows testing improves retention.

🧠 OpenAI is testing a new "Thinking effort" picker for ChatGPT that lets users set how much internal compute—or "juice"—the model can spend on a response. The feature offers four levels: light (5), standard (18), extended (48) and max (200), with higher settings producing deeper but slower replies. The 200 "max" tier is gated behind a $200 Pro plan. OpenAI positions the picker as a way to give users more control over response depth and speed.

📅 In episode 430 of Smashing Security, host Graham Cluley and guest Dave Bittner examine a range of security stories, led by a proof‑of‑concept attack that weaponises Google Calendar invites to trigger smart‑home actions. They also cover a disturbing incident where ChatGPT gave dangerous advice that led to hospitalization and discuss the new Superman trailer. The episode blends technical detail with accessible commentary and practical warnings for listeners.

🎧 In episode 63 of The AI Fix, hosts Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley dissect a wide range of AI developments and controversies. Topics include Unitree Robotics referencing Black Mirror to market its A2 robot dog, concerns over shared ChatGPT conversations appearing in Google, and OpenAI releasing gpt-oss, its first open-weight model since GPT-2. The show also examines ethical issues around AI-created avatars of deceased individuals and separates the hype from the reality of GPT-5 claims.
