Does AI already have human-level intelligence?

In episode 88 of The AI Fix, Corey Noles from The Neuron drops in to unpack OpenClaw, the AI agent that’s not so much a chatbot as a brain in a jar with hands and a credit card.

Elsewhere, our hosts explore a website where AIs can hire humans, Mark discovers that truth and safety might be mutually exclusive, AGI quietly turns up while nobody’s paying attention, and an AI called Henry gives itself a phone number and calls its human for a chat.
