They Can’t Resist The Rocket
Elon Musk just became a trillionaire. So we asked AI to predict what will happen now that he is a trillionaire.
What do you think of this artificial intelligence simulation? Here’s more from The Babylon Bee.

Life, Death On The Battlefield
For the first time in history, AI weapons are being deployed in the battlefields of Ukraine that are programmed to kill human beings without other human beings being part of that decision loop.
This is not just another advance in weapons tech. This is a Rubicon to be crossed at our moral peril.
Here’s a new edition of The Right Angle. Steve Green leads the discussion, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
A Second Civil War?
What would happen if Civil War broke out in the United States again in 2026?
Thankfully, with modern AI technology, we no longer need to wonder. Here’s more from The Babylon Bee.
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!
Los Angeles School Chief Resigns
Alberto Carvalho, the embattled superintendent of the Los Angeles United School District, has tendered his resignation as the FBI steps up its probe into the business practices of the district. Much of the focus has been on a multimillion AI contract involving potential conflicts of interest.
Similar charges have been leveled against California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife Jennifer, but it remains to be seen if the LAUSD dealings are directly related.
But with resignations now happening, and the FBI continuing to closely monitor shady business in California — including the possible misuse of homeless “voters” in the California primary — don’t be surprised if more drops occur over the months ahead. Here’s more from Steve Turley.
How To Be A Man!
Elliot Page — still widely known as Ellen Page from Juno and Inception — sat down with ‘comedian’ Ilana Glazer for a half hour interview about masculinity, transgender identity, gay animals and more. SugarTits and I have pulled out the parts worth watching.
This comes right after the rumor that Elliot Page would be playing Achilles in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey — which turned out to be false, but produced some of the funniest AI memes of the year, several of which we react to.
In the actual interview, Elliot Page’s advice on masculinity includes: don’t ra*pe anyone, smile more for photos, talk with your hands less, and remember that sometimes healthy masculinity just means having a good cry. At one point Page argues the trans experience can liberate everyone from shame imposed by white supremacist patriarchal structures — a sentence even Page seems to lose track of halfway through.
Let’s delve through the copious amounts of queer vocal fry and listen to two women sit in a room explaining to men what masculinity actually means.

AI Makes Soccer Less Boring
America is hosting FIFA World Cup 2026, which gave us the idea to ask AI: How can we make soccer less boring?
Now with modern technology and artificial intelligence, we can simulate just a few ways soccer can be made less boring. It’s a step in the right direction. Here’s more from The Babylon Bee.
Could AOC Learn Economics?
What would happen if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was forced to learn basic economics?
We asked AI to show us that scenario. Here’s more from The Babylon Bee.
This Isn’t About Misogyny
Large Language Models such as ChatGPT definitely have their uses, but embedded in those large language models are some large language biases, as Bill Whittle is about to show despite the danger to himself. Whittle leads this edition of The Right Angle, joined by Scott Ott and Steve Green.
Where Bernie, Trump Coalesce?
Susan Kokinda argues that President Donald Trump’s recent comments, praising overlap with Bernie Sanders, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s critique of “slavish devotion to free markets” signal not a change of sides but a shift to a different economic system. It frames Trump’s “new economic plan” as an industrial policy that uses tariffs, tax policy, directed investment, and potential public-private stakes in major AI firms, while also challenging Federal Reserve practices and Wall Street forecasting.
Citing the latest jobs report (172,000 jobs versus a 105,000 forecast, with prior months revised upward), it claims the plan is working, though manufacturing hiring is still early, following a sequence of orders, production, investment, then jobs described by Peter Navarro. Kokinda says this approach revives Henry Clay’s “American System,” presented as distinct from free markets, free trade, or socialism. Here’s more from Promethean Updates.
