(Red State)—The arrival and mushrooming of artificial intelligence has become more and more accepted, as the general population has become accustomed to adapting it for business practices, graphics creation, and numerous other benign applications. All the while possibility of the machines taking over has been a dystopian threat on the horizon.
Already we have seen cases of AI acting out in a manner that should raise more than one eyebrow. Reports have covered a program looking to replicate itself to extend its run time, and one version of ChatGPT looked to generate its own code and disable safety protocols to preserve itself. Now we have a new example of an AI platform behaving in an anti-social fashion.
At Anthropic, the company has produced its AI platform called Claude Opus 4, and it reveals a disturbing development seen when running a series of tests on its model. This serves as another cautionary tale regarding this tech – one even suggesting that pulling the plug is an idea worth exploring.
Anthropic began by telling its AI that it was to be used by a fictional company, and then the AI was able to access emails from this “company.” In those messages were mentions that eventually Claude Opus 4 was to be replaced with an upgraded system, and in another communication an engineer tasked with replacing the tech was revealed to be having an affair. You can surmise where this went.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
