Have you ever wondered why Elon Musk has not only revolutionized space travel but also spearheaded advancements in AI, robotics, and brain-computer interface (BCI) technology?

We humans often draw our innovations from visionary thinkers who create fantastical allegories and films, planting the seeds of future advancements. Ideas initially deemed unachievable within our lifetime—or even several generations beyond—eventually come to fruition. The power of the human mind is a marvel that today’s top neurologists, philosophers, and academics still ponder, amazed at its capacity to transcend its primitive roots and venture into the realm of ingenious theoretical thoughts that manifest as profound and sooner-than-expected realities.

Thoughts become things. Borrowing from Rhonda Byrne and "The Secret," it’s undeniable: thoughts do become things. Our species has exponentially surpassed all others on this shared planet. Our 1970s vision of a Future/Cyber Punk era, where technology is integrated into our bodies and noodles are sold on every dark corner of every major metropolis under the glow of fluorescent lights hawking everything from the mundane to the cutting-edge, is now a reality. It may be in its nascent stage, but it solidifies once again that thoughts become things.

But back to Elon... This is precisely why Elon Musk is building his robots. He never intended to colonize space with humans before establishing the necessary infrastructure with a fleet of robots. These robots are designed to build, construct, and operate autonomously and under human direction using a space-based communication network and LMO (Low Mars Orbit) drones positioned for optimal functionality.

I have written about these topics in my books and on my site, UFO Currents, and I plan to continue exploring all relevant subjects, such as Figure 02 and its genesis inspired by Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot." I'm not the first to say it, but I firmly believe that we humans often predict our technological futures through our science fiction. Just as in many films and stories, the combination of AGI and robotics is approaching sooner than we think. So, the real question is, "Are we, as a species, ready for this new reality?"

In my book "UFO Nexus: A Journey into Alien Realms and Cosmic Secrets," I delve into AI in Chapter Thirteen, "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: AN ALIEN REALITY." In this chapter, I detail how components at our disposal now essentially serve as the schematic to bring to life an entity akin to the nefarious AI from my short story "AI: THE EMERGENCE," resembling those seen in "The Terminator" and embedded within the bleak, dystopian future depicted in the movie "The Matrix."

Think of how, in the 1980s, we only had the initial semblances of technology that would truly emerge some 40 years later. This technology, driven in part by actors some might call unethical—motivated by greed and discarding caution and ethical concerns—unlocked the gates for omnipresent systems. Today, that technology is here.

My short story details how the combination of what exists today in 2024 was envisioned in 1984's "The Terminator," where a post-apocalyptic war between a synthetic intelligence known as Skynet and humans is the reality. What components exist today that could make this come to fruition?

- The Department of Defense’s Narwhal supercomputer.
- The expansive Starlink constellation.
- The lethal MQ-9 Reaper.
- The innovative Boeing X-37.
- The formidable General Atomics MQ-20 Avenger.
- The pervasive Internet of Things (IoT).
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the eyes in the sky.

Now, we must also consider Figure 02, SpaceX's Starship, OpenAI and ChatGPT-5, Grok's xAI, and, of course, people—those whose motivations prioritize technological advancement over societal safeguards, driven by immense financial gain. What Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot aptly describes as the X-factor.

In Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot," the future depicts robots working in roles traditionally held by humans, with people of all socioeconomic levels utilizing robotic workers. In the film adaptation, robots are gifted to people to demonstrate their usefulness and obedience to their operators. This is exemplified by the grandmother character, who receives a robot, and the protagonist, played by Will Smith, who has been augmented with a robotic arm, granting him unprecedented strength and the ability to combat the later aggressive robots controlled by the U.S. Robotics central artificial intelligence computer, VIKI (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence).

Is this the future being birthed by the tech emerging in 2024? Are we witnessing these science fiction scenarios of technology gone haywire, turning rogue against humanity, actually becoming a reality?

Well, as we progress further, seemingly each month brings new announcements from various leading technology firms in the private sector, all competing for the most dollars and prestige in a furious race against one another. We must not lose sight of the old adages, "Thoughts become things," and "We humans often predict our technological futures through our science fiction." These adages serve as a warning, not just for us, but for future generations.

UAP Disclosure: An Impasse, Amidst Official Pentagon Denials And Think Tank Advocacy

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents In a recent, comprehensive report, the Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office ( AARO ) confidently asserted that there's no evidence of alien technology in the myriad of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) sightings investigated.  This assertion, encapsulated in the "Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Volume I," aimed to set the record straight on the government's position regarding UAPs.  According to AARO and NASA's UAP study team, a significant number of these sightings could simply be misinterpretations of mundane objects , a situation exacerbated by the lack of comprehensive data. This proclamation comes at a time when the discourse around UAPs and their potential extraterrestrial origins is gaining momentum, thanks in part to organizations like ' The Sol Foundation Initiative for UAP Research and Po...

A Perspective on God and Extraterrestrial Life

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents As a dedicated UFO researcher, I venture into the vastness of the sky, seeking not just scientific truths but the pulse of the mysterious. The concept of God, an eternal subject of human contemplation, often aligns with the esoteric and profound mysteries of the cosmos.  Albert Einstein, a luminary in the world of physics, famously did not subscribe to the notion of a personal God but instead revered the intricate structure of the universe unveiled through our growing scientific understanding—a sentiment shared by those of us who chase the enigma of extraterrestrial life. He once expressed, " I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. "  What if the pursuit of extraterrestrial life is not just about discovering the unknown but about unraveling the fabric of divinity itself? This question is not new.  Stephen Hawking, a visionary in theoretical physics, s...

Navigating the Future: Understanding AI, Robotics, and Our Path Forward

Image
By Anthony F. Sanchez, Author & UFO Researcher For UFO Currents People often find themselves muddled between the realms of robotics and artificial intelligence. Allow me to clarify: "Robots and AI are distinct entities; robots are not synonymous with AI, and AI is not synonymous with robotics." Robots are tangible devices governed by sets of instructions coded into firmware, akin to an integrated circuit. On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI) is software driven by programming, often utilizing Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Large Language Models (LLM). This enables the software to engage in deep learning, accumulating vast amounts of knowledge over time. Moreover, it employs predictive model programming based on its historical interactions with humans to refine its ability to deliver human-like responses. What sets apart NLP from LLM? Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) focused on enabling computers to understand,...
