Notice, notice, this midweek mini was recorded several months ago and may not be up to date with current events. For fresh minisode uploads with every episode, head to patreon.com slash Chaluminati pod. Oh, no, lo, lo, la, la, la, no. Minnesota 252. I know. Three hours of aliens, now for some minisode stuff. Great. What are you got?

What do you got? I got a dead ass Virgin Mary side. You guys want that? Yeah, give it to me. Dead-ass Virgin Mary? Have you ever heard of the village of Morca in Columbia? I'm not sure if that's exactly how it's pronounced. No.

It's a populated center within the city of Sogamoso in Boyaka, Colombia. And it's a coal mining place, but it's like mainly associated with siding of the Virgin Mary that occurred there like, you know, 110 years ago or something like that like a classic Virgin Mary siding that was like in the newspapers and stuff

and, on the first Saturday of every month, they have like a, they have like a, like a Virgin Mary sort of like celebration there and people come there

from all over the country and there's vendors and like art and sweets. you know what I'm saying like it's like a straight up whole festival and this history goes all the way back to like the colonial times this is like a classic place however this new story is from coast to coast from like today and what happened is this guy Jimmy Ayala who I don't know much about him other than that he is known as a musician a local musician was in Morca and he stumbled upon this apparently he was there to visit a shrine to the Virgin Mary with his family and while he was there he saw a bunch of people crowded around a rock and he asked them what they were looking at and he saw what they called a miracle that had appeared in the stone three months ago so apparently this this face had appeared in

the rock and he was he was the first like modern person to stumble upon in this village if you know what I mean who who made it go viral um so here is a clip of it we look at it together and you can see what very clearly seems to be the face of the Virgin Mary in Iraq first of all I love the AI voice immediately over this yeah I auto dub just makes me want to die but uh it's here it's i think it's auto translated is what it is uh yeah you can see like her hair is kind of like suggested by the shape of the rock it looks kind of artsy but it's there does look like someone may have done that themselves the yeah the biggest problem about this isn't like virgin mary

anything it's the depiction of her in this instance is very clearly reminiscent of like renaissance era paintings it looks like it looks like gustav it looks like gustavs clipped almost. Yeah. It like, you know, if you've said, oh,

it's just a woman, it looks like a woman. There's no, there's really no difference saying that it looks like a Virgin Mary is because it literally looks like famous Renaissance art of the Virgin Mary. And you're in the like Mary zone. You know what I mean? Yeah.

You're in the, you're in a town that is famous for Mary. I don't know. It looks like art. It looks like like like apparently Virgin Mary. Like the realistic look. of her. She would have like jewelry from her tribe and stuff from where she came from and like, you know, nothing like this like, like Jesse said, Renaissance era like all perfect and eyes

closed. No, she would have been like nothing, nothing like that. Unless, unless the fact that so many people think that she should. Literally was going to say, unless we want to talk about the idea of consciousness forms reality. But we'll talk about that. We'll talk about that a little bit more next week. That's funny that you, because it's funny that that's, that's being covered because like, I've been thinking about that for about a couple weeks now. Quite directly. I'm covering it, actually.

That's, that's crazy. Yeah. That's fucking weird little synchronicity. Yeah. I mean, there's like, like Jesse said, there's no way to know also somebody didn't just come to do this themselves, but if it's natural, it's a fucking impressive, natural formation, for sure. It doesn't look like normal, naturally occurring Bible show.

It looks like fucking like pen line art of Mary like painted on rock. I don't know. It does not look natural to me, but I don't know. There's a level of sort of pedigree that comes with it, I suppose. I don't know. It's just it like it's just a hyper. I know that art. It's so hyper specific.

It's like, yeah, I don't know. But you never, it's not that often you get a straight up Virgin Mary. in the Virgin Mary village in the middle of rural Columbia so I thought it was a lightening strike and toys kind of thing I'll take it from here if you want this is a little bit less

Virgin Mary related but more science and we keep learning that animals the animals do in fact talk to each other and communicate verbally this is this is published today I want a few good uses of AI AI eaves dropped on whale chatter and it may have helped find something new

Dolphins, blah blah, blah, this says a new series and a new analysis of sperm whale codas, a unique series of clicks, suggests a previously unrecognized acoustic pattern. The finding reported November 12th implies that the whales clicking communications might be more complex and meaningful than previously realized. But the study faces sharp criticism from a marine biologists who argue that these patterns are more likely to be recording artifacts or byproducts of alertness rather than language-like signals. For decades, biologists have known that both the number and timing of clicks in a coda matter can even identify the clan of sperm whale. Sperm whales in the eastern Caribbean Sea off the coast of Dominica, for example, often use a series of two, slow, and three quick sounds. Relying on artificial intelligence and linguistics analysis,

the new study finds that sometimes the series sounds more like clack, clack, clack, Rather than clicking, says Shane Garrow, who is a marine biologist at Project SETI, a Dominican-based nonprofit studying sperm whale communication. CETY, not SETY, not SETI. Project SETI linguist, Gasper Bejou wonders about the meanings of a code might convey. He says it sounds really alien, almost like Morse Code, says Begous of the University of California, Berkeley. Based on his team's result, he now speculates that sperm whales might use clicks or clacks in a similar way as we use our vowels to transmit meeting.

Not everyone agrees, but the study shows that it's worth being pursued, and if so, it immediately makes their language much, much more complex than what we know. And I just think that makes sense, man. I feel like we keep learning that animals are more conscious than we assign them credit for.

Absolutely. Like whales are so smart, and dolphins are fucking so smart and shit. They're like scary smart. So hey, you never know. When we will see in another 10 years, we'll be able to break down their language and be able to communicate with them.

That'd be fucking cool. that's damn. Take us away, Jesse. Sorry. Finish us. What do you got? I know you to find the article. I would like to send you first to this post, which I will copy the link and send to you.

Great. As you know, the internet, mostly conspiracy theory people, but the internet in general is obsessed over this Atlas. Yep. We tried to put it to rest yesterday. Last week, if you remember, we were like, it's nothing. It's a fucking satellite. Dude, I hate this, dude. So anyway, this image of, by just some random guy at Gauteramus on Twitter,

it posted a thing that is, he's like, yeah, man, I got this awesome telescope, and this is what I took. Anyway, meanwhile, and you'll notice they got a lot of likes, and people were passing it around on the internet, and had 577 retweets and 5K likes, and everyone's like, wow, and if you look at the comments, everyone's like this is amazing. Anyway, shout out to the people at R slash UFO. This is from early October. Yes, yeah, yeah.

On R slash UFOs, the genius minds over there who said about debunking things, I'm going to give this to magazine. I'm going to give all the credit. Hell yeah, magazine. Magazine's like, hey, don't fall for this.

This is clear. clearly clickbait. One, these are real images from real people that are real amateurs that have the best telescopes in the world.

This is what they currently can see. I'll send you both images so you can see exactly what these amazing telescopes from amateurs that are not NASA can see. Yeah, it's a bright thought. Yeah.

That's how absolutely far away it is. You're not going to pick it up on your home telescope. It's just not. We, it's closer now. It's come out from behind the sun. And it's still acting weird, but it's accelerated because it's likely shed a ton of weight from being close to the sun. And melting.

Yeah. And so it's accelerating. And now it has like a tail. But people were saying not too long ago, it was like, but the tail is happening at the front and going back. And I'm like, yeah, because that's the part that I was facing the sun. That's how comments work. Yeah. Yeah.

And it's me, listen, I'm willing to believe, bro. I want a reason. But this is not it. It's just a really fucking cool comment that's probably older than us, like the planet. Like 25 billion years old or some shit. Yeah. Also, man, those comment section on that tweet are like, dude. Yeah, it's rough.

They're running with like shit. There's somebody's posting a picture of a lamp online. Like it's all quickly becomes like, well, here's a point that you can't prove or disprove and that's when. And I'm like, that's not. So the interesting thing is that this, the original poster here magazine is like, Hey, let me just math it out for you. And they straight up just assuming the following about this, this meter, right? And all the dimensions and stuff.

Continues on to be like, after mapping it out, you would effectively need a 250 meter telescope. Nobody has that at minimum. You won't see jack shit. And then drops the biggest bomb of all bombs. And I can't believe this. No one noticed. this, which just it goes to show you how screwed we all are. Gentlemen, please, if you would be so kind to take a look at this photo.

Okay. This is the photo of the telescope from that tweet. Yep. Some things to notice. One, look at the light socket, the power socket down the bottom. Oh, no, it's AI. It's AI. The whole image is fake.

Fuck. You can, now that you're not. you can now that you know that you'll see things like the paper on the table has the holes from the table in it for some reason the actual actual like science of this room doesn't quite make sense right my original thought was like oh it's he has like a backyard like little shack or something that he uses for this that was my thought but essentially it's all fake um they did like a a high res scan of the image in the background and that is just gibberish like the text on there is not real text um yeah it's just an a i i image and no one caught it. No one. Especially if you don't do this shit. 577 retweets, 224 comments, 5K

likes, 564, whatever that like bookmark thing is, no one caught it. And I think that's crazy. And so once again, shout out to the amazing folks over at R slash UFOs

because they genuinely want to believe but are willing to destroy you if you lie. So many people. So many people are. There you go. You know what? Eventually somebody found the light switch, but it was long.

It's not after it got passed, passed around and how many people don't know now. Yeah. Misinformation proliferates so much faster. Well, they can bring that up because now I feel bad because I'm like, it's just a telescope in a room. But no, yeah. The dimensions of the rumor. Unfortunately, that's what we have to look for now. Like, I'm going to assume if the room is AI, then the image is AI as well.

Oh, yeah. That means you can't trust a damn thing that comes out. No, you can't. It doesn't even matter. what that other image is. It doesn't look like anything. Yeah. It's a bright dot anyway. But the fact that they're passing that off is like a thing. Well, now I'm sad.

Yeah. Man, there was like a feeling in my stomach when I saw that outlet that made me feel real bad. You're like, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, made me saying. Well, on that depressing note, keep an eye out for AI, everybody. That shit's fucking crazy. And at a glance, it's hard to tell. Uh, and thank you, Jesse for, uh, repeating the fact that three eye atlas is fucking nothing stop making it something. It's a huge.

And I would love it if it was something, but there's, it's, it's nothing. It's a huge scam. What it is, what it is, is cool enough. It's just tricking you with AI Michi Okaku. Get out of it. Literally. Oh, God. All right.

Whatever. Thank you guys so much for supporting us here. We get to stay not as AI. Thanks to you. Thank you for the Monday. Another mini so right here at patreon.com slash humanautipod. We appreciate it. We love you.

A bit. Or, revoir.
