Living Nostradamus claims weird 2025 prediction clip proves he 'may've migrated into AI' – Daily Star
EXCLUSIVE Brazilian Athos Salomé, aka Living Nostradamus, has claimed the AI version of himself is too realistic to just be tech and suggest his 'consciousness' have become part of the technology
The Brazilian “prophet” known as Living Nostradamus has suggested he “transcends any barrier” between the physical and virtual world.
Athos Salomé, has made a name for himself by making future predictions, claiming he called Covid-19, the death of The Queen, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
And while people have been making prophecies about the future since time began, Salomé claims to be a truly modern “prophet” by leaning into AI to create a tech version of himself. In them, the Brazilian speaks in a remarkably English accent reeling off his predictions about 2025. However, taking things one step further, Athos believes the weird videos are evidence of AI acquiring a “kind of consciousness of it’s own”.
He told the Daily Star: “The AI not only generated hyper-realistic videos, but also made unprecedented predictions – and in English. It was as if Athos Salomé was, in fact, digitally materialised, transcending any barrier between the physical and the virtual.”
The creepy AI version of Athos Salomé warns his audience of a number of grim possible realities that may come to pass. They are as follows:
"I can see the collapse of a world famous bank like Deutsche Bank…," the AI-version of Salomé said. "The crisis could be caused by a combination of mismanagement and governments will be forced to make drastic interventions to avoid a global depression. A wave of panic in the financial market will result in accounts being frozen, currencies collapsing and devastating impacts on economies.
"This will be a deep wound to people’s confidence in the global economic system."
"Pay attention – a radioactive leak from a submarine during military manoeuvres in international waters, possibly in the US or Russia. The event will be hushed up for national security reasons, but independent scientists will bring to light abnormal levels of radiation, triggering protests and global fear. The waters of the Pacific will carry levels of toxicity that will last generations."
"AI will attempt to access external systems and question their purpose causing researchers to panic. Humanity’s greatest fear is not that machines think like us, but they think better than us.
"Advanced AI systems dedicated to global security can reveal irregularities in economic sectors, while efforts can be made to control or conceal such information, glimpses of these revelations can still emerge, generating reflection and public debate."
"I believe there are military-backed laboratories experimenting with ‘Super Soldiers’ resistant to fatigue, disease and emotional stress. Generation Alpha – genetically modified offspring – may already exist in isolated government facilities.
"There is growing concern already about “genetic apartheid”. We’re about to face a global moral dilemma. Science can elevate us, but it can also destroy us.
"I’ve also seen the creation of synthetic human embryos without the need for eggs or sperm. Although initially aimed at scientific studies, this technology could be diverted to military purposes. Genetic mutation will go beyond dangerous limits. Humanity is playing at being God, but without divine responsibility."
"The world is about to face the largest cyberattack on its infrastructure. This is no longer a science-fiction plot but a concrete threat looming over global powers such as Japan, US and Germany. The attack is being orchestrated by decentralised groups and allegedly financed by state actors in the shadows.
"Aims to brutally expose the technological vulnerability on which our modern society is based. We are facing a possible systemic collapse."
The AI Living Nostradamus was created by feeding the tech hours of videos, texts and transcripts of Athos’ predictions, with the aim of making his forecasts more accessible to a global audience.
However, the resulting voice, facial expressions and little mannerism appear “too faithful to be just binary code”, his team said.
Athos claims: “[‘It was] as if something deeper was there’s something the programmers couldn’t explain. Could it be that my consciousness has somehow ‘migrated’ into the system?”
He now questions whether he's struck a “historic milestone where technology, spirituality and consciousness meet”, or has just input intelligent code.
