OpenAI and Anthropic test each other, and everyone fails the apocalypse test

In episode 66 of The AI Fix, ChatGPT gives Mark and Graham a terrible lesson in anatomy, boffins at Stanford ruin sushi, Google Gemini has a self-loathing meltdown, DeepSeek gets an "F" in stopping existential threats to humanity, a robot doesn’t give birth, and a team of AI agents stuns our hosts with an amazing medical breakthrough.
