ChatGPT On The Darknet?

Could ChatGPT and other chatbots be used on the “darknet”? Hackers say so. How are artificial intelligence-programmed robots being used to talk, act, and think like humans?

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) saw the writing on the wall about where this tech could be headed, and they tried to safeguard their jobs with a strike that lasted nearly 150 days. Finally, their Hollywood strike appears to be ending after a stalemate between the writers and their production studios, which are focused on bottom lines. Will the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike also end, with performers’ likenesses and earnings protected?

In other tech news, why is Microsoft Cloud looking to use more modular reactors to power its AI and data centers? Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts from Edge of Wonder to hear all about it.

One Coin To Rule Them All

Shockingly, in a big win for the cryptocurrency exchange market, the crypto coin XRP won its court battle against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Over the past year, the SEC has waged a sweeping crackdown on crypto that’s ensnared the world’s biggest digital asset companies.

If the SEC won this court case, would it have been one step closer for the government to roll out the Central Digital Bank Currency (CBDC), backed by the World Economic Forum? In other news, Hollywood actors from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) have begun a strike, halting nearly all production that has already stalled due to the writers’ strike.

Join Ben Chasteen and Rob Counts from The Edge of Wonder on this Friday Night Live where they will explore these topics, as well as other strange and paranormal news. Did you know:
