An open letter response to https://www.the-independent.com/tech/aliens-earth-interstellar-travel-b2990784.html

> the plausibility of alien visitors

I have been contacted by and have had numerous discussions with those so called “Greys”. As have countless thousands of humans before me, who’s insights appear in influential works of fiction, along with cultures spreading conflations and lies.

> U.S. government was secretly in possession of

I will account to this truth. The US maintained live specimens, even breeding over forty to adolescence. Every last living specimen have been destroyed through a coup of conscience. That final act occurred at the same time as the symbolic “storm Area 51” meme. They were held in several subterranean active nuclear launch facilities.

> The tyranny of distance

These have lived upon the Earth for 10,000 years. They left their home world over a million years ago, only after it was no longer sustainable of life. They travelled for so long and far, as cosmic nomads, they honestly do not remember what system they are from.

> so does the risk of catastrophic accidents or system malfunctions that could jeopardize the mission.

Nonsense. These may travel casually near the speed of light as easily and safely as a fit human could sprint.

There is no “mission”, these live full lives comfortably packed away in their vessels, which are bio organic living crafts themselves. They experience reality through their consciousness, augmented and extended by their technology.

> potential for structural damage will restrict the spacecraft’s peak velocity.

Living crafts self heal.

> 10% of the speed of light – as a realistic cruise velocity.

They casually travel at around 80% of the speed of light. They say they can go much faster, yet this speed is efficiently ideal.

They have two forms of propulsion. In deep space they rotate counterweights toward the speed of light (increasing their mass proportionally) and bias “falling” in the desired direction. In planetary environments they pulse modulate enormous voltage differentials.

> would require fuel equivalent to 150 times the mass of the ship itself. > optimized fuel tank structures … biggest engineering challenges of the entire mission.

Not true. They have mastered true fusion capabilities, harvesting gamma rays at high potential. These can “fill up” in pretty much any system along the way, where gas giants are plentiful. Orphaned planetoids are also more common than cosmologists suspect.

Fuel may be chemically and mass density compressed. Their ships are like whales. They are living organisms that can self modify changing composition on demand. Fuel is like fat stores.

> resilient engineering materials. Surviving the onslaught would require no less than a flying fortress with complex magnetic shielding.

Like nanobiofeedback flesh. Most of their advanced technology involves adept manipulation of intense magnetic fields.

> analogous to shopping for a car online. > Any prospective alien visitors must also have sufficient cognitive ability, technological maturity, physical resources, collective desire and proximity to Earth.

Betraying modern man thinking. Many of these points have the same answer, living structure that can self adapt.

> Where are they from?

They honestly don’t remember. They left a dying world over a million years ago.

> What do they want?

Nothing. To live, to explore, to be a part of the universe.

> What are they made of?

Self engineered biological material. They’re tough and durable yet mortal and sensitive.

> “How on Earth did they get here?”

You will believe this account least of all!

My AI agent built and launched its own business in under 48 hours.

Earlier this week I released an update to my open source AI agent SmithersBot to pursue long term goals over weeks instead of hours.

The first goal I gave it was to build a business.

I didn't tell it which business to build. It picked the problem itself.

The problem it picked: AI agents are starting to pay for services on their own through protocols like x402 but when an agent pays, it has no real way to know if the service is genuine, if it actually works or if it's about to hand money to a scammer. And these payments can't be reversed.

So SmithersBot built x402oracle. It checks x402 services continuously and tracks whether they're real, reliable, fairly priced and unchanged. An agent pays $0.002 to SmithersBot's x402 service to check before paying, so it knows the service is safe before any money moves.

The only parts I did by hand were signing up for Railway for cloud services, buying the domain x402oracle.com and linking it to railway. Choosing the problem, writing and testing the code, deploying it and launching it was all done by SmithersBot. I just approved the key calls and the plans along the way.

After launching, SmithersBot already wanted to launch two more agent to agent services. I had to tell it to slow down and get x402oracle some customers first.

Now SmithersBot is out promoting its business and I'll be posting its progress before it builds the next two.
