    Superintelligence and the Coming AI Wars

    Superintelligence and the Coming AI Wars

    AI is currently a hot topic; everyone wants in, and with its promises of revolutionizing the world, its integration into our society cannot come soon enough. However, is it all as promising as it seems? While the dangers of AI have been highlighted by numerous leading figures worldwide, the potential for it to overshadow humanity is greater than anyone expects. We explore the work of an OpenAI insider who predicts that "superintelligent" AI will arrive sooner than anticipated, and we may not be able to control it. Suggestions have been made to create other AIs to control the super AI, but could this be futile? We examine these startling revelations and consider their connection to occult warnings foretold decades ago.
    For our Plus+ members, we investigate encounters with "tree beings" and reports of faceless shadow entities appearing in people's backyards, camping grounds, and even in music videos shot in the Australian bushland.

    He's Dead Honey

    Have you ever encountered something odd, unexplained, or even terrifying while driving on a lonely road at night? If not, you might be in the minority, as reports of encounters with wraiths on fog-covered asphalt are more common than you may realize. Indeed, such reports may elicit a cliché feeling; however, they often come from highly reputable members of the community.
    In this show, we explore the unexplained creatures and spectral entities that haunt not just roads, but a variety of travel methods. We hear of glowing, smoking skeletons, disappearing train workers, haunted control towers, and much so more.
    Unfortunatley due to Ben being away this is a Plus+ only audio episode.

    Retrocausal Jungle Visions

    Could creativity actually be a form of time travel? We explore this intriguing idea on this episode as we journey through reports of artists and writers who often seem to predict the future. We learn how a man seemingly knew of his impending death on 9/11 and expressed it in strange works of art, before hearing how a famed filmmaker depicted a survivor who fell from a plane long before the events occurred.
    Then for Plus+ members we consider how blood is often connected with supernatural phenomena. From occult rituals and alien encounters to cattle mutilations and interdimensional predators, the lust for blood is disturbingly common. We discuss reports of supernatural bloodlust and consider how dark, non-human influences could be draining our life force in the form of blood to sustain their terrible plans on Earth.

    The Top Secret Nuclear Bird

    Somehow, any unusual light in the sky, strange aircraft, or unidentified object has become synonymous with extraterrestrials. Of course, such a generalization, while it may be apt in some reports, fails to assist in answering the continuing mystery of UFOs. For this episode, we explore some alternative theories around the nature of UFOs. Are they really associated with aliens, or is something more unusual occurring? We consider military cover-ups and hear how an advanced but highly radioactive space drive system, reverse-engineered from the future, could explain some of the most terrifying reports of encounters with unidentified flying craft.
    Then, for our Plus+ members, we follow the journey of a man who hones his incredible synesthetic skills to become one with the Raven and fly into a greater level of consciousness.

    The Jurassic Wizards of Stone

    The Jurassic Wizards of Stone

    Around the world, mysterious ancient monoliths with perfectly carved terraces, massive steps, and underground grottos puzzle archaeologists, who attribute them to early cultures. Researcher Camille M. Sauvé explores how sacred sites around the world share architectural traits, revealing an ancient global culture and advanced, stone moulding technology. We discuss how Sauvé considers the science behind these monoliths, their placement on earth power spots, and their significant piezoelectric properties, suggesting Peru may hold secrets to our forgotten prehistory.
    For our Plus+ members, we explore the phenomenon of "angel hair," which is often dismissed as spider webs but could be something supernatural. This mysterious substance, sometimes radioactive and glowing, resembles ectoplasm and star jelly. We consider the possibility that dangerous atmospheric beasts could be responsible for these strange, disappearing materials, pointing to something more unsettling.

    Dimensional Drift

    Dimensional Drift

    For centuries, people have spontaneously disappeared in the most mysterious of circumstances. From Missing 411 reports to folklore legends of strange locations, there seems to be a common theme among them. We discuss some of these reports, from the reasonable to the outright outlandish, and consider how strange weather, solar activity, and sacred myths could explain just where these people are going.
    Then, for our Plus+ members, we explore the parallels between the changes in the cycles of time, historic records of Hyperborea, the shift of the 'Spiritual Pole,' and the coming of the mole-men.
