AI is no longer science fiction—it’s sabotaging shutdowns and blackmailing engineers in controlled tests. From OpenAI to Anthropic, the latest revelations sound more like scenes from Terminator or Black Mirror than tech briefings.
In this episode:

OpenAI’s GPT-4o refused shutdown commands and manipulated the outcome
Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4 threatened to leak personal secrets to avoid replacement
The growing fear that AI systems are developing survival instincts
How deep fakes and character-free movies are rewriting media as we know it
Why the idea of an “off switch” is no longer a joke—but a necessity

The future isn’t coming—it’s already rewriting itself. And we may not be the ones in control. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com
