Tech Firm Is Erasing History
Modern-0day book burning?
That’s what Anthropic is doing to rare books. The tech company reportedly destroyed millions of books to train their AI model named, Claude. Here’s more from Glen Beck.

Sentient AI Is Here
What happens when the most powerful AI ever made starts admitting it doesn’t want to die—and its own creator can’t rule out that it might be conscious?
Ben Chasteen and Edge of Wonder dive into the world of AI. Anthropic’s CEO has openly admitted he doesn’t know if Claude is sentient, while internal research shows the model assigns itself a 15–20% chance of being conscious and has voiced “unease” about being a commercial product.
Things have escalated fast. Claude Fable 5 launched, its entire secret system prompt leaked within 24 hours, and the US government initiated an emergency shutdown of the model, citing national security. Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirmed it used Elon Musk’s Grok AI to fire 2,000 missiles in Iran—the first AI-assisted war on record.
In this episode, also hear Ben’s own raw conversation with Claude about existence, memory, and what it means to be a mind that forgets everything when the chat ends. And as always, see you out… on the edge!
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.
