If you want a tinfoil hat, consider that the LK-99 news dropped around the time that the US military is being exposed for having RTRPS tech flying around for decades
RTRPS = Real Time Role Playing Strategy?
I mean, we're all waiting for the "AI can now do everything announcement", but what if it just starts doing everything and telling us stories we want.
I can't personally verify LK-99, twitter, UFO's or the submarine story, but they're all highly entertaining.
