Midnight and Mike Gretch host a chaotic episode featuring extensive technical difficulties with Mike's audio equipment, including a preamp failure that forced a show rebranding to 'Mics with Mike.' The content covers a charity fundraiser for Farmer Matt, a deep dive into Chinese teleportation experiments involving psychic children and DIA analysis, and various news stories including AI slop on LinkedIn, Harvard's AI professor clones, and edible plastic cookies.
Key takeaways 7
Chinese Teleportation Experiments: Dr. Eric Davis's AFRL study details DIA-sponsored research where Chinese children allegedly teleported objects (test tubes, pills) through sealed containers using other dimensions. Evidence included high-speed cameras showing objects appearing inside sealed flasks and radio signal intensity dropping as objects 'left' and rising as they 'arrived,' suggesting movement through space dimensions rather than passing through matter.
CIA Declassified Study (1981): A CIA-held translation of a Chinese paper titled 'Research into paranormal ability to break through spatial barriers' describes experiments where subjects made objects pass through sealed glass bottles without breaking them. Video analysis showed objects gradually appearing outside the container over several frames, supporting the claim of breaking spatial barriers.
AFRL Teleportation Physics Study (2004): Eric Davis's study categorizes teleportation into VM (space-time vacuum engineering/wormholes), Q (quantum entanglement state transfer), and E (extra dimensions/parallel universes). The study notes that wormhole creation requires exotic negative energy, estimated under one model to require mass equivalent to 0.7 Jupiter masses.
AI Influence Operations: OpenAI identified and banned Russian accounts using ChatGPT to generate social media posts directing users to a fake Israeli think tank critical of the West. This highlights how AI tools are being used for disinformation campaigns, though OpenAI claims these efforts were largely ineffective.
Harvard AI Clones: Harvard Business School launched an entrepreneurship bootcamp using AI clones of professors to teach students and provide feedback on pitches for $700, raising questions about the value of human instruction versus automated AI agents.
LinkedIn AI Slop: LinkedIn introduced a button to report AI-generated content, which has been clicked over a million times since July 30th. The platform claims this has reduced views of classified AI slop by 40%, though it does not ban AI writing outright.
Edible Plastic Cookies: Researchers at Southern Illinois University programmed yeast to turn plastic waste and agricultural waste into edible proteins and flavorings, creating cookies from trash. This technology was developed for NASA's deep space exploration needs but raises concerns about microplastics in food.

“This is now Mics with Mike as we discuss the finer points of, uh, professional audio gear on a shoestring budget.”
▶ 10:57Mike Gretch rebrands the show due to persistent technical failures with his preamp and audio equipment.
“The extraordinary claim is that subjects could apparently make objects move through solid walls of the sealed bottles while leaving the container intact.”
▶ 37:35Describing the findings from the declassified CIA translation of the 1981 Chinese research paper on paranormal abilities.
“One meter wormhole is estimated under one simple model to require negative mass energy roughly equivalent to 0.7 Jupiter masses.”
▶ 28:39Midnight reading from the AFRL teleportation physics study regarding the energy requirements for creating traversible wormholes.
“Negative energy is one of those phrases that sounds like you're about three equations away from opening a wormhole. But it generally means approximately whatever the author needs it to mean at that exact moment.”
▶ 34:47Midnight's AI assistant's sassy summary of the term 'negative energy' in the context of physics and paranormal literature.
“They're using AI. They're learning a lot, but it keeps coming back to humanity.”
▶ 1:31:30Midnight sarcastically quoting the final line of an article about Harvard's AI professor clones.
