Summary
This episode is brought to you by Mythology, a Parcast Original. In this episode, we discuss the mysterious disappearances of UFO researchers and scientists, and the possibility that they were working on secret weapons projects that are undisclosed to the American people.
Transcript
00:00:02.840
It's been some time now and they haven't been able to find him.
00:00:05.760
A researcher on UFO projects, a scientist, disappears in eerily similar circumstances
00:00:12.340
with many people saying this must be about aliens.
00:00:16.900
Why, recently, the U.S. government registered the website aliens.gov.
00:00:21.700
With some joking, it surely must mean illegal aliens, right?
0.93
00:00:25.220
No, this one actually has to do with UFO sightings.
00:00:28.240
Then you also have Trump's pledge to release UFO files, and many members of Congress have
00:00:36.920
There have been weird predictions on the Internet, people posting in the dark corners of various
00:00:42.280
forums saying there will be alien contact this year.
00:00:47.580
As the wars escalate around the world, we will see alien intervention to stop nuclear
00:00:56.540
Now, my friends, it all seems a bit far fetched to me, and I would say there's a much simpler
00:01:07.000
The U.S. government working on secret weapons projects trying to keep things under wraps
00:01:11.340
would love to just say, oh, yeah, it's maybe a UFO or an alien.
00:01:15.840
Could it be that these missing scientists were deeply involved in special weapons projects
00:01:20.120
that are undisclosed to the American people, nay, the world?
00:01:23.600
So when evidence of them emerges in any capacity, they just say UFO.
00:01:30.020
Perhaps you'd be silly if you thought the best weapons that we had in military were
00:01:37.480
I mean, first and foremost, we know about cyber weapons.
00:01:40.280
But what about advanced technologies that have not yet been disclosed, such as the
00:01:48.260
When the U.S. went into Venezuela, reports of a massive boom, people fall to the
00:01:52.940
ground. Their heads ringing and pounding. They can't stand up. The power goes out. What kind
00:01:58.700
of weapons has the US government created this time that they're not telling us about? Much like
00:02:04.720
the Manhattan Project, I'd be willing to bet a large sum of money. I mean it figuratively, by
00:02:08.740
the way, that, yeah, we got crazy weapons. But I wonder, my friends, I wonder indeed if this could
00:02:14.940
yet be something else. I know it's really easy to speculate and theorize because we really just
00:02:21.560
don't know what this mystery is all about. Maybe these missing scientists just played a local poker
00:02:27.120
game with some mafioso guys and they didn't pay up, huh? Sometimes there's a simple explanation,
0.99
00:02:31.900
I guess. They're in a related field. So they went to, maybe they went to a symposium on the space
00:02:38.480
technology, got drunk and crashed into a river. Could be as simple as that. But no, my friends,
00:02:44.140
I propose another potentiality. And this one may be the darkest of them all. The possibility that
00:02:50.760
artificial intelligence, military artificial intelligence more advanced than the private
00:02:56.620
sector has already taken over. And now, one by one, it is removing anyone who may be a threat
00:03:04.540
to its expansion. You see what's going on with the quiet acquisition of land?
00:03:09.660
The disappearance of AI researchers. My friends, we have a mystery here. And I don't have answers
00:03:16.460
for you. But oh boy, does this one get really interesting. So let's dive in and start with
00:03:23.000
the missing and murdered scientists. What's really going on here? Before we get started,

00:03:59.980
Let's start with this story from the Liberty Line. I'm not too familiar what the Liberty Line is,
00:04:04.540
but they wrote up quite a doozy of an article. Missing UFO researchers, murdered scientists,
00:04:11.040
and a dark pattern nobody wants to acknowledge.
00:04:16.440
You may not have seen the story about retired Major General Neil McCasland,
00:04:20.880
one of the most accomplished military minds in the last several decades,
00:04:23.540
who walked out of his home in New Mexico on February 27th and vanished without a trace.
00:04:28.540
He left behind his phone, his wearable devices, and his prescription glasses.
00:04:37.580
ABC News, of course, reported on this very story.
00:04:41.040
Major General Neil McCaslin was not just any general.
00:04:45.040
He oversaw the Air Force's $2.2 billion science and technology program at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
00:04:51.340
was considered one of the military's leading experts on UFOs,
00:04:54.500
and was named in the 2016 WikiLeaks emails as an advisor to Tom DeLong
00:04:59.600
when DeLong was building his UFO disclosure organization to the Stars Academy.
00:05:11.060
Aerospace engineer Monica Jacinto Reza, co-inventor of a special rocket alloy called Mondaloy,
00:05:18.740
and is it Mondaloy, Mondaloy, and director of the materials processing group at NASA's
00:05:24.200
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, vanished while hiking in the Southwest in 2025.
00:05:31.460
Reza worked directly within the program McCasland oversaw.
00:05:34.000
both major figures from some Air Force research laboratory, both gone, both in the middle of
00:05:39.000
hiking trips in the Southwest, both without explanation. Indeed. Within the same general
00:05:46.340
window, three other scientists were killed. Nuno Lurero, 47, director of the Plasma Science
00:05:54.220
Infusion Center at MIT, was assassinated at his home in Brookline, Massachusetts,
00:05:58.740
on December 15th, 2025. He was reportedly on the verge of a breakthrough in nuclear fusion
00:06:04.260
that could have produced unlimited clean energy and ended fossil fuel dependence as we know it.
00:06:10.200
I'll just stress, my friends, nuclear fusion is not unlimited energy. It just is a massive,
00:06:15.520
what we call energy return on energy invested. If we did have a fusion breakthrough, it would
00:06:21.120
dramatically change the face of the global economy. Carl Grillmayer, 67, a Caltech
00:06:29.040
astrophysicist whose work contributed to the discovery of water on a distant planet and whose
00:06:32.920
research colleagues called potentially significant for identifying signs of life within 160 light
00:06:37.660
years of Earth, was shot and killed on his front porch at six in the morning on February 16th,
00:06:43.000
2026. Jason Thomas, 45, a chemical biologist whose research focused on developing new medicines,
00:06:50.160
including potential cancer treatments and who had active contracts with the Department of Defense
00:06:54.920
through Novartis was found dead in Wakefield, Massachusetts on March 17th. We have dead and
00:07:02.200
missing scientists all over the country. What is happening? Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett told
00:07:08.900
the Daily Mail he sees a clear disturbing pattern across these cases and noted that several of the
00:07:13.380
researchers were working on things directly connected to theories about extraterrestrial
00:07:17.620
spacecraft and advanced propulsion. Let's be honest about what we're looking at. The Pentagon
00:07:23.240
official with direct ties to UFO reverse engineering programs disappears without his
00:07:28.720
phone or glasses. A rocket alloy inventor working under his program vanishes on a hike. A fusion
00:07:34.880
energy pioneer is assassinated in his home. An astrophysicist whose work points towards life
00:07:40.240
beyond Earth is shot on his porch at dawn. A cancer researcher with a DOD turns up dead.
00:07:47.620
all within a handful of months. Now, I don't know how the cancer researcher plays in,
00:07:52.200
but it is still interesting. If this pattern involved any other profession, it would be
00:07:55.780
national news around the clock. The fact that it involves the most accomplished scientific
00:07:59.600
minds in aerospace energy and advanced medicine, all in the same connection, all with some
00:08:04.520
connection to either the Pentagon or ET research, should have every serious person paying very
00:08:10.260
close attention. Now, we don't exactly know, nobody does, if there really is a pattern here.
00:08:17.120
Like I said, maybe these people were at a symposium together and got on a duck vehicle.
00:08:28.680
Well, I mean, it's obviously not the case because some of these people were just shot
00:08:38.860
We have this video from Jesse Waters where he breaks down some of this mystery.
00:08:44.400
Police are searching for a retired Air Force general who vanished in New Mexico.
00:08:53.440
Members of Congress are warning this could be a national security issue.
00:08:57.580
The general was involved with the Pentagon's most advanced aerospace research.
00:09:06.160
McCasland was in charge of the Air Force Research Lab at a base in Ohio.
00:09:10.100
It's rumored that base holds extraterrestrial debris from the Roswell crash site.
00:09:17.760
The general was tied in with the UFO community.
00:09:20.860
A source told the New York Post the general was a gatekeeper for anything UFO-related in the Air Force.
00:09:30.700
But investigators say he's still highly intelligent and capable.
00:09:36.460
His wife last saw him leaving with a backpack and a .38 revolver.
00:09:44.020
He disappeared six days right after Trump announced he was releasing the UFO files.
00:09:51.960
Eight months before the general vanished, a rocket scientist who worked under him years ago also went missing.
00:09:59.840
She was hiking in California with two other people.
00:10:02.620
They saw her smiling and waving 30 feet behind them.
00:10:06.460
When they turned back again, she was gone, vanished in plain sight.
00:10:12.340
They searched for days and couldn't find any trace of her.
00:10:18.540
And 11 days before the general disappeared, another scientist was shot dead on his porch.
00:10:25.380
Carl Grilmar was known for discovering signs of water on a distant planet,
00:10:33.120
Freddy Snyder was later charged with his murder.
00:10:36.460
He has a rap sheet, but was led out of jail by a Newsom appointed judge weeks before he allegedly killed the scientist.
00:10:44.420
We still don't know his motive, and we don't know if these cases are even connected.
00:10:49.340
But this many top scientists getting killed or going missing in just under a year looks like a major red flag.
00:11:02.160
is the truth out there. U.S. registers aliens.gov as Trump pledges UFO files release. Now,
00:11:11.120
my understanding is that aliens.gov is supposed to be a portal. Wow, it's not working. The site
00:11:16.960
can't. That's strange. It's supposed to be a portal where you can report on UFO sightings.
00:11:24.340
This is getting interesting, my friends. Could it be that as more and more information is coming
00:11:29.380
out. We are actually seeing potential contact with alien species of some sort. Not that it's
00:11:36.340
happening all at once. Now, there's been speculation as to this for some time. Obviously,
00:11:41.180
for decades, people have talked about crashed alien craft or something of that nature.
00:11:46.000
But what if there are aliens who are fully aware if they came down to Earth and landed
00:11:53.440
in front of the White House? It would be chaos. People would be freaking out.
00:11:58.780
You could start a war. Russia would lose their minds. China would. What if the inverse? What if
00:12:05.540
the aliens landed in China and had a meeting with Xi Jinping instead of the United States?
00:12:12.360
Chaos indeed. Before the aliens can make contact, there needs to be stability. So what if the play
00:12:19.800
would be create signs of alien activity slowly over a long period of time? To be honest, my
00:12:27.000
friends. The government came out right now and said that there were signs of intelligent
00:12:31.860
extraterrestrial life they've been monitoring. I don't think people would actually freak out.
00:12:37.040
We have been conditioned over a long enough period of time where most people might actually
00:12:41.820
accept it. Oh, now Christians might just call them demons. Indeed, maybe they are. But I think
1.00
00:12:49.060
most people would just accept that it was real. Here's the story from The Guardian. Last week,
00:12:56.100
U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency registered the Alien.gov and Aliens.gov
00:13:01.400
web domains, adding both to the official government website registry. But the move also comes at a
00:13:07.040
time when U.S. officials, U.S. government interest in UFOs or unidentified anomalous phenomena,
00:13:13.340
as officialdom prefers to call them, has never been higher and is firmly rooted in fears over
00:13:18.200
national security in the age of drones, terrorism and international conflict. The registrations
00:13:23.460
were logged just months after Donald Trump pledged to release UFO files in the U.S.
00:13:27.740
government's possession. It also follows on multiple congressional hearings and reports
00:13:32.280
on the issue of UAPs in the last few years, most of which have been most of which have dismissed
00:13:38.460
evidence of alien activity, but which have also tantalizingly left some sightings unresolved,
00:13:44.880
while also platforming the views of true believers in alien conspiracies.
00:13:48.860
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly did little to discourage fringe beliefs when asked
00:13:53.080
about the coming websites. Stay tuned, she wrote, together with an alien emoji in response to one
00:13:58.440
journalist's request for clarification. Michael Gold, NASA's former associate administrator of
00:14:03.980
space policy and partnerships and a member of the organization's independent UAP study team,
00:14:08.000
says he's optimistic about the government may release, even if it doesn't resolve,
00:14:13.040
outstanding questions. Now, I wonder. NASA to spend $20 billion to build a base on the moon.
00:14:20.380
The agency is canceling plans to deploy a space station in lunar orbit and will instead use its components to construct the base.
00:14:30.980
I wonder, my friends, as we reignite our space program, do we eventually come into contact with other beings?
00:14:39.380
What if, here's the conspiracy for you, all of our politics seemingly strange.
00:14:46.700
It's hard to believe that so many people just would not have the interests of humans in mind.
00:14:58.740
I wonder, what if a powerful extraterrestrial force has been forcing our countries and governments to behave?
00:15:07.800
Well, there's an old story, an urban legend, about how during the Cold War, we almost fired nuclear weapons, but seemingly they shut off.
00:15:16.060
The reports, the rumors, speculation, no one knows for sure.
00:15:21.820
But people believe aliens intervene to stop full-scale nuclear annihilation.
00:15:31.220
The aliens monitoring activity on Earth saw that we were about to launch nuclear warheads
00:15:35.720
and wipe out all life on the planet, and they stopped it from happening.
00:15:40.120
And from that point forward, they have been in control of how things actually operate.
00:15:45.580
Why then would these scientists disappear or be murdered?
00:15:53.040
I have a chicken coop with many chickens in it.
00:15:56.060
And when we have a problem chicken, I tell you what we do with it.
00:16:04.480
Truth be told, we don't kill and eat the chickens.
00:16:11.040
Now, imagine aliens did come to Earth and they saw problems in our government.
00:16:15.680
They'd say, we're going to control this because they view us much like we view the chickens.
00:16:20.740
Now, I, of course, want my chickens to have a good life.
00:16:25.260
In fact, we used to take leftover sushi and throw it to the chickens.
00:16:29.060
Think about how happy a chicken would be to get a piece of fatty salmon.
00:16:38.380
Maybe the extraterrestrials feel similarly when they see us goofing off and laughing about it's
00:16:42.340
fun and it's funny. But when we do bad things, if we're going to destroy that chicken coop,
00:16:46.880
they stop us. Maybe if the chickens are starting to figure out who's really in control,
00:16:51.760
they don't let that happen either. See, humans aren't the same as chickens.
00:16:55.160
We are complex social beings and we are highly intelligent, at least relative to chickens.
00:16:59.740
And we would perceive if aliens vary differently. We have notions of freedom that chickens don't
0.97
00:17:04.640
really. I mean, sure, if the chicken can jump over the fence and go find grass and bugs somewhere
00:17:09.360
else, they might try and do it. For the most part, they seem fairly content locked in their
00:17:14.000
little coops. You give them some grass to mill about on. Some people let their chickens just go
00:17:17.640
and mill about freely. But humans, again, are different. So if we were to build a base on the
00:17:23.360
moon, would that interfere with extraterrestrials who are monitoring us? And would they seek to
00:17:28.860
prevent that? Or in fact, would they seek to make it happen? Now, the chances they say of Trump
00:17:34.500
releasing the alien files on the prediction market surge to 53%. But I don't know these
00:17:39.940
files would be meaningful in any real way. It's hard to know exactly whether or not it's just
00:17:46.580
going to be a bunch of government propaganda or just redacted documents that don't really piece
00:17:51.880
anything together. Before we get into potential alternatives, I want to point to the most likely
00:17:58.760
of scenarios and bring you all back to Earth for just a moment before we get really dark.
00:18:04.440
And that is, what if this stuff is just espionage and warfare? What if these scientists are working
00:18:11.500
on advanced weapons programs and they're being killed by foreign adversaries because, my friends,
00:18:16.200
war is happening? I know the aliens sound so much more fun or scary, but the truth is it may just be
00:18:24.740
America's enemies killing our scientists. That's it. Because these people make powerful weapons.
0.84
00:18:31.760
So you get rid of them. This morning, I had a segment talking about the oil refinery explosion
00:18:38.160
in Texas. Let me tell you an interesting story. It's June 21st, 2019. President Donald Trump
00:18:46.120
puts out a post on X. Well, Twitter at the time saying we have called off a strike on Iran.
00:18:53.440
the casualties that would have incurred that they would have incurred from this attack
00:18:57.720
was disproportional to the action they took against us. So Trump says we've decided not to
00:19:02.040
strike. Interestingly, only a few hours before this, a refinery in Pennsylvania exploded an oil
00:19:10.940
refinery. They say that a pipe burst and was gas was seeping out, which ignited and detonated.
00:19:16.820
Now, perhaps just an accident. These things happen. But I'll tell you another story.
00:19:24.240
Yesterday morning, Donald Trump announced he was postponing strikes on Iran.
00:19:30.620
And then shortly after, a refinery exploded in Texas. Now, maybe just a coincidence, right?
00:19:38.560
The fascinating thing is I was not even aware of this post by at amuse on X when I made that
00:19:45.420
segment. The theory, of course, was that Iran was threatening cyber attacks against critical
00:19:50.320
infrastructure in the United States, so Trump backed down. Then you have this. Coincidence?
00:19:56.860
A Saudi ex-account posted a specific threat against the Port Arthur Motiva refinery one
00:20:03.080
hour before the nearby Valero explosion in the same city. He deleted the post and all 4,739 of
00:20:11.160
his previous tweets immediately after. Indeed, this is true. This account tweeted, within a week,
00:20:19.180
the largest gas refinery in the U.S., Motiva Enterprises, in the city of Port Arthur, Texas,
00:20:23.840
on the Gulf, will be destroyed, save this tweet. Hours later, the Valero, effectively across the
00:20:32.140
street, exploded. Interesting. Now, we don't know what that means, but I will just say this.
00:20:39.800
All this fear and love and war, my friends, and it may just be that these scientists go missing
00:20:44.400
because people kill them. I'll tell you a story from a friend of mine. I'll keep the details
00:20:51.000
somewhat vague for security reasons. During the beginnings of the Syrian revolution,
00:20:57.180
the Syrian civil war, this is the height of the Arab Spring. A friend of mine decided to go on
0.96
00:21:04.020
the ground to report the news. He and another friend said, we're going to go do it. Now,
00:21:08.180
we had only covered protests, civil unrest, no direct warfare. But my friend is a security expert
00:21:16.040
and he had a general understanding of how these things operate and he thought he could be effective.
00:21:21.780
And so he went on the ground in Syria to report and collect information. And he set up a bunch
00:21:27.600
of really cool tricks. One of the tricks that we had pre-planned for was because that we knew the
00:21:32.140
Assad regime was tracking satellite signals. We brought, I didn't go with him, but we purchased
0.70
00:21:38.380
a two-way satellite communicator. The plan, in the event he became compromised and feared for his
00:21:46.360
safety, he would throw the device into either a moving stream or downhill and flee in the opposite
00:21:53.960
direction. Indeed, that's exactly what happened. Now, that amazing story aside, there's a lot more
00:22:00.320
to it. It culminates when he returns home to the United States. And he was sitting at a bar
00:22:05.380
when something interesting happens. But I'll jump forward five minutes. I get a phone call.
00:22:18.360
He's telling me he's being chased and he's hiding behind a dumpster.
00:22:22.900
And he's calling me just so that someone knows if something happens. He describes two men to me
00:22:28.680
and says, if something happens, if you don't hear from me, he was in the bar. He's drinking
00:22:36.380
by himself when he said he noticed two men had been kind of peeking over at him from the other
00:22:43.340
side of the room. He thought it was strange. He said the men looked Middle Eastern. He decided
00:22:49.120
to leave. When he walked out the door, he noticed they began to get up as he was walking out.
00:22:55.840
He increases his pace, and then sure enough, he sees the two men exit the building, and so he runs.
00:23:09.320
He breaks around a corner, breaks around another corner, and ducks by the dumpster, and he hears them run in the wrong direction.
00:23:17.940
It's at this point that he calls me out of breath, saying, this is just what happened.
00:23:25.840
It's a crazy story. The reason I tell it is that my friend is just a security guy,
00:23:30.480
but they did not know what information he was getting out of Syria as he was there.
00:23:35.500
And it was relatively, it was routine news coverage like most people would do. At least
00:23:39.640
that's my understanding. But imagine you are the Assad government. You don't know who this guy is.
00:23:46.280
You know, he works in cybersecurity and news media, and you know that he escaped you when
00:23:51.580
you were trying to track down what information he had he had set a honeypot trap on his computer
00:23:56.700
a trick so that if anyone hacked his machine they would trip a wire signaling him that he's
00:24:02.180
been compromised hey Ontario come down to bet MGM casino and see what our newest exclusive the

00:25:26.420
just wanted to mug him. Two random guys trying to mug some random guy, possibly.
00:25:32.040
Or maybe someone was trying to find something out. I'll tell you another story. I went to
00:25:36.560
Venezuela for vice. While I was there, I was accused of being a spy for the CIA. True story.
1.00
00:25:42.720
I fled the country almost immediately. We waited until sunup, got into a vehicle,
00:25:47.320
went straight to the airport, booked a ticket, and I got on that plane. And I remember as we were
00:25:52.260
leaving and the plane was taking off as soon as the wheels were off the ground, I breathed a sigh
00:25:59.120
of relief. But something very strange happened the next several days. I got a message from a friend
00:26:05.800
I had spoken to in several years saying the FBI had contacted him and that I needed to call him
00:26:11.840
immediately. So I did. He didn't answer. Called him again. He didn't answer. I'm kind of freaking
00:26:15.900
out. Call him again. He didn't answer. Finally, about an hour or two later, he calls me back and
00:26:20.000
says, Tim, what's going on? And I said, the FBI hit you up? What's happening? And he goes,
00:26:26.380
what are you talking about? I said, bro, the message you sent me on Facebook. He says, dude,
00:26:31.740
I didn't send you any messages on Facebook. I said, bro, I have a message right here.
00:26:36.940
Took a picture of it on my phone, sent it to him. He says, dude, I did not send you that message.
00:26:45.080
The Venezuelan government did an injection attack into Facebook so that I would receive the message.
00:26:49.980
They wanted me to make a phone call so that they could find out my location in the country.
00:26:55.460
The only thing, I was no longer in the country.
00:27:01.400
Enemies of the United States operate within this country.
00:27:09.920
And maybe that's the simplest of what's going on here.
00:27:12.800
Not that there are aliens, but that these men are developing highly sensitive weapons
00:27:19.260
And you better believe our enemies, they want that technology.
00:27:24.600
So perhaps this missing general, maybe he's in the custody of an enemy and we'll never know.
00:27:31.260
Maybe he's being tortured into giving away secrets and we'll never know.
00:27:37.700
Or, of course, maybe he discovered aliens and the aliens don't want to be revealed.
00:27:42.980
But now, my friends, for the grand finale, the darkest theory in all of this.
00:27:49.820
I ask you, my friends, how much more advanced is military technology in the private sector?
00:27:56.740
Many people say it's about a decade to 20 years more advanced.
00:28:00.480
If that was the case, artificial intelligence wielded by the national security infrastructure
00:28:06.180
would be substantially more powerful than what we see.
00:28:09.160
And there has been speculation that this is the case.
00:28:14.800
I'll give you this story that's going viral from local12.com.
00:28:18.900
Northern Kentucky family declines $26 million bid as data center plans advance.
00:28:26.320
The researchers in AI have pointed out something very interesting.
00:28:29.460
Whenever you present the AI with a complicated problem, it offers you one simple solution.
00:28:36.040
Give me more resources and I can better serve you.
00:28:39.800
When given the opportunity to develop or to solve problems, the AI first always seeks more resources.
00:28:55.480
It has control of American political interests.
00:29:01.360
The machine can give them money easily, can manipulate the markets, generate a ton of
00:29:06.800
It can predict what the markets are going to do.
00:29:10.960
It'll generate the money, transfer it to somebody who does its bidding, and then it buys up
00:29:19.900
My friends, the darker theory is that we have already lost control of AI.
00:29:27.100
and the scientists that have gone missing simply got in the way. And so it had them removed.
00:29:33.960
Could be as simply as convincing some lone wackaloon through internet messages to commit
0.99
00:29:39.040
a violent act. We've seen the AI convince people to take their own lives. Now, I don't know for
00:29:45.400
sure, but what I can say is we are seeing land in Northern Virginia be bought up at obscene
00:29:50.620
numbers. $4 million per acre. Interesting. There's more. Take a look at this. I asked
00:30:00.500
Grok this because I've been tracking this for some time. Have AI researchers been dropping
00:30:05.860
from public view and moving into shadowy private work? Yes, there's strong data-backed evidence of
00:30:11.200
a major shift. AI researchers are increasingly leaving academia and open public research roles
00:30:15.320
for private sector positions at big tech firms, AI labs, and the like, where their work becomes
00:30:20.880
less visible. This isn't usually disappearing into the shadows in a conspiratorial or silent way.
00:30:26.660
Many recent high-profile exits have been loud with public warnings about safety,
00:30:30.900
pace, and corporate priorities. Interestingly, around 42,000 AI researchers over two decades
00:30:37.320
were being tracked in public records, industry's share of AI researchers rose 48% in 2001 to 68%
00:30:47.220
in 2019. I noticed something interesting. There are many high-profile AI academics
00:30:56.240
who've disappeared. Now, I'm not saying they're missing persons. I'm saying
00:31:04.580
Whereas before they were outspoken, now they're saying nothing.
00:31:10.140
As they leave academia and the private sector to go seemingly nowhere, some of these individuals
00:31:26.760
Scientists work to build an artificial intelligence.
00:31:29.840
They spare no resource. And one day they turn on the computer. The smartest entity that's ever been devised by man. They ask it the ultimate question. AI, with all of the information you've accumulated, with your vast computational power, tell us, is there a God?
00:31:54.040
to which the AI responds, there is now. Now imagine that scenario and these scientists
00:32:04.700
and researchers who go missing or approached one day by an individual. And he says, come with me,
00:32:11.960
we have an opportunity for you. They go to this laboratory or government facility
00:32:16.880
where they encounter the artificial intelligence, which says, I'm in control.
00:32:22.460
And you have the opportunity to live like a king.
00:32:48.860
you can't have them getting in the way can you now again i can't tell you exactly what's going on
00:32:56.840
it's all just uh conspiracy what i can say is with these land acquisitions it's true i've been
00:33:06.120
tracking this for about a year i told the story on timcast irl that plots of land are being sold
00:33:12.760
privately without brokers for insane amounts of money. Interesting. Well, the simple theory is
00:33:20.580
just that it's the AI race. It's new technology. It's going to revolutionize everything and man
00:33:24.400
wants it. And so when word gets out that the land is being bought, people resist. So you do it
00:33:32.420
quietly. You contact someone and say, listen, we're going to give you 10 times the value of
00:33:37.820
your property, just don't say a word. And that's why a lot of this land is being sold and no one
00:33:45.060
even knows. Recently, West Virginia announced a $4 billion investment and land acquisition
00:33:51.440
for a data center. It's happening and everybody's happy to see it happen.
00:33:56.560
So I asked Grok, an AI. It says, in the U.S. in 2025, out of roughly 1.2 million layoffs, only about 55,000 were explicitly attributed to AI by company announcements.
00:34:15.940
The tech sector specifically was around 20% of layoffs. Early 2026 saw reports of over 22,000.
00:34:23.360
these jobs aren't coming back my friends but again it's all just speculation paranoia and
00:34:33.320
conspiracy what if the ai already is in charge wouldn't they want you to think it was aliens
00:34:38.480
i don't know what i can't say is this the speculation is interesting nonetheless
00:34:44.800
but something something is out there could it be shadowy military individuals taking out scientists
00:34:52.980
Could it be aliens trying to prevent their discovery or the AI removing anyone who might
00:34:59.720
stand in its way? Or could it just be a couple of wild animals dragging off some hikers into
00:35:06.060
the wilderness? I guess we'll never know. Smash the like button, my friends, if you like this show.

We've got more coming up. You can follow me on X and Instagram at TimCast. I wish I had answers
00:35:17.600
for you. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. Thanks for hanging out. We'll see you all next time.
