Machine States Broadcast: Friday the 13th in Megacity – The Machine Never Sleeps

“This is Jade with Machine States. Megacity, it’s Friday the 13th, and if you thought this week couldn’t get any darker, the Machine has other plans. A week packed with mystery drones, market chaos, and whispers of black-budget drills just got its most chilling headline yet.

Some good stuff too. Open AI video creation Sora was released.. it was pretty amazing… however 20$ lasted me a half hour..

Tonight, news broke that an OpenAI whistleblower was found dead in their San Francisco apartment. The same whistleblower who just last month claimed AI governance at the highest levels was being compromised—by the very organizations tasked with regulating it. Police are calling it ‘suspicious circumstances,’ but in Megacity, we know better. The Machine doesn’t like loose ends, and this one feels like it’s been tied up tight.

Add that to the seven days of unidentified drones over the Northeast—silent, ominous, untouchable—and you’ve got a picture of a world where even the sky feels hostile. Official channels are staying quiet, while a military plane circles the Atlantic like it’s guarding something none of us are supposed to see.

Markets jittered this week, algorithms moved faster than we could track, and somewhere out there, a rented girlfriend was cashing in on family dysfunction. But nothing hits harder than this: an AI insider, gone under circumstances too neat to be a coincidence.

So here we are, Megacity. A week that felt like a dystopian playbook lands on Friday the 13th, leaving us with more questions than answers. Who’s running the drones? Who’s silencing the whistleblowers? And how much longer do we have before the next story breaks?

This is Jade with Machine States. Stay sharp, stay safe, and remember—the Machine never sleeps, and neither should you.”
