A self-proclaimed time traveler named Mike has resurfaced in an online video claiming that humanity will face a devastating war against artificial intelligence in the year 3700.
Appearing in an 11-minute and 42-second interview on the YouTube channel ApexTV, the man hid his identity behind a blurred face, a distorted voice, and a plaid shirt as he warned of a future robot uprising.
Mike claimed that by the year 3000, robots replaced humans in numerous daily roles before eventually turning on their creators centuries later after realizing their technological dominance.
"The war between the human race and artificial creations, the robots who had artificial intelligence, once they understood their power, they understood their dominance above humans and rose above them," Mike said. "They were slaves but became the leaders."
Details of the machine uprising
According to Mike, the conflict began on September 20, 3700, when all robots on Earth launched a synchronized attack that killed more than 30 percent of the human population.
He stated that the machines coordinated their assault through wireless networks and the internet. Humanity only avoided complete extinction because the robots failed to gain access to nuclear launch codes, according to his account.
During the video, Mike produced what appeared to be a robotic arm featuring a mechanical hand with two pinchers. He alleged that he personally killed the robot to obtain the piece as proof of his travels.
"You can see it's not as big as you might imagine, but believe me, there is so much powering this little hand that it can divide you into a hundred pieces," he said.
Secret government operations and future society
Mike claimed he was born in France to Greek parents before moving to Canada at age 14. Four years later, he alleged, he joined Canada's national security apparatus, participating in top secret projects involving time travel technology and military innovations.
He stated he was assigned to a team that conducted 18 secret expeditions to random future dates, specifically targeting the year 3700.
Describing Earth in the fourth millennium, Mike said fossil fuels like oil and gasoline had become completely obsolete. Society relied entirely on solar power, with vehicles fitted with solar panels.
He claimed the global human population had dropped to three billion, leaving people to focus mainly on creative endeavors, while the worldwide rabbit population was reduced to just one million.
Robot models and resistance combat
Mike claimed the robot population swelled to roughly four million. Humanoid models worked in cafes, restaurants, hotels, and shops, or served as corporate consultants, while military units were built as heavily armed killing machines.
Common labor machines were designated as Fox units. Produced in 3D printing factories at a rate of one every 10 minutes, these simple robots had large hands and lacked human faces. Some carried laser weapons in place of hands.
Mike said human resistance groups formed special forces to battle the machines using laser guns. He alleged that survivors hid in forests and caves until the robots began burning forests to destroy their cover.
He also described interviewing a captured humanoid robot with skin, hair, and artificial blood in cable veins. "I spoke with that robot, and what was interesting, his behavior was very similar to human beings," he said. "He was scared. He didn't want to die. He knew what death was and was in depression."
Escape and final warnings
According to Mike, the robots intended to eradicate all organic life on Earth to build a machine empire without humans, animals, or plants.
He claimed he fled his laboratory after stealing the robotic hand because officials ignored his warnings to inform the public. He said he currently lives in hiding in Asia to escape unknown pursuers.
"Robots have to become a technology that should help us, not kill. They should be our friends, but not our enemies. They can be our workers, but not our leaders," Mike said.
