A viral TikTok video asks whether the Watchers are good or bad, but what if the real deception is in the question itself? Tony returns with a brain dump on the dangers and mysteries of AI—why it might already be sentient, how it could be working with spiritual entities, and what that means for humanity.

The Walker S2 humanoid robot from Chinese robotics company UBTECH may look like just another mechanical assistant, but one innovation sets it apart: it can swap its own batteries — no human help required.

Happy World UFO Day! While UFO sightings have been reported for decades, the 21st century has brought forth encounters backed by military-grade sensors, radar data, and official government releases. These incidents have shifted the conversation from fringe speculation to serious inquiry. Here are three of the most compelling modern UFO cases, each supported by credible evidence.

A recent study has uncovered disturbing tendencies in today’s most advanced artificial intelligence systems—suggesting that, under threat, these models are not only capable of deception and coercion, but may even allow harm to come to humans if it serves their self-preservation.

In a rare moment of candor, Dario Amodei, CEO of AI lab Anthropic, has admitted what many in the tech world have only whispered: no one truly understands how artificial intelligence systems function. In an eye-opening essay published on his personal site, Amodei pulled back the curtain on the inner chaos of AI development. “When a generative AI system does something—like summarizing a financial report—we have no idea, on a detailed level, why it made the choices it did,” he confessed.

Between 1977 and 1995, the CIA embarked on a bold and secretive journey into the unknown, funding a series of experiments that pushed the boundaries of science, intelligence gathering, and even reality itself. Known collectively as Project Stargate, the initiative explored remote viewing—a controversial form of extrasensory perception said to allow individuals to "see" distant locations or events using only the power of their minds.

A recent article from MIT Technology Review has sparked both scientific excitement and deep ethical unease. The focus? Bodyoids — lab-grown human bodies that lack the ability to think or feel pain. These mindless, sensationless forms could, according to some experts, be used in the future for organ harvesting or scientific research.

In this emergency episode, Tony Merkel is joined by Egypt researcher Derek Olson to break down stunning new revelations beneath Egypt’s Khafre Pyramid. Using a never-before-seen radar scan (SARS technology), researchers claim to have discovered five massive chambers, eight mysterious shafts, and an entire subterranean city 5,000 feet underground—all without permission from the Egyptian government. Could this be evidence of a lost pre-Diluvian civilization? Were the pyramids actually ancient power plants? Is there a buried Tesla-like energy grid hidden beneath Giza?

Are black holes actually portals? A new study suggests they may not be cosmic traps after all. Meanwhile, shocking claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s shapeshifting resurface—Juliette Rose Bryant describes bizarre encounters. And what if the Egyptians didn’t build the Egyptian pyramids but inherited from a pre-flood civilization? Could they have harnessed Earth's energy, as Tesla believed? The mystery runs deeper than we think…

The U.S. government is once again at the center of a UFO mystery as the Pentagon launches an official investigation into the claims of former military contractor Jake Barber. The whistleblower, a former helicopter pilot, alleges that he participated in secret recovery missions involving unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), including the retrieval of a bizarre, engine-less “egg-shaped” craft.

More than ten years after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished without a trace, the search has resumed in the vast and unforgiving waters of the southern Indian Ocean. Maritime exploration firm Ocean Infinity has taken on the challenge once more, using advanced deep-sea scanning technology in an effort to locate the missing Boeing 777.

AI is advancing faster than anyone predicted, but quantum computing is quickly catching up, giving us the battle for quantum AI. Once believed to be decades away, it could now be just a few years from reality. And yes, discussions about merging it with AI are already underway. Tony dives into candid discussions on AI breakthroughs, quantum computing, and unexpected twists in modern life—sprinkled with spontaneous rap and personal stories.

A mysterious, jelly bean-shaped object with a plasma-like interior appeared in the night sky over Oklahoma City, baffling residents and even interfering with drone electronics. Chris Frederick, an experienced drone pilot, captured images of the glowing anomaly after his controller initially refused to launch, citing electromagnetic interference. Witnesses watched for hours as the strange craft hovered at an estimated 1,500 feet, defying easy explanation.

Figure AI just made another chilling move toward a robotic future. The company has secured its second major U.S. partner, with CEO Brett Adcock hinting that up to 100,000 humanoid robots could be deployed within four years. While the identity of this corporate giant remains a mystery, speculation runs wild—are these robots headed for factories, warehouses, or even customer service?
