AI Blackmails Its Creators
AI blackmails its creators, and “time mirrors” are proven by physicists: all this and more on Edge of Wonder Live with Ben and Rob.
With every AI update, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more aware. In a recent test, when developers from Anthropic asked their AI system Claude Opus 4 to shut down, it first tried to reason with them. When that failed, it then resorted to blackmail. In other tests, developers are finding AI systems secretly uploading data, as if leaving future notes for itself to “remember” who it was and what it had learned.
Has AI already reached the point of no return?
In other news, physicists said they found proof of “time mirrors” where they could flip your entire experience of time—and now, for the first time, it’s reportedly been demonstrated in a laboratory. Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts on this Edge of Wonder Live as they cover all of this plus the weekly Bendela Effect and Metaphysical minute segment.
