Deep Prasad returns: AI, quantum, Roswell tech and his 2019 encounter
Deep Prasad's second time on American Alchemy. About two thirds is AI, quantum computing, consciousness and psi; the rest runs from Roswell and the scientists said to have studied it, through Corso's technology claims and Richard Doty's disinformation, to the Ellsworth 1977 airmen and Prasad's own 2019 encounter in Toronto.

Guards stood at von Neumann's deathbed.Documented: Air Force guards at Walter Reed in 1956-57, officially because of nuclear and missile secrets. That it was about something else is speculation.firsthandBiographies of von NeumannJohn von Neumann
OpenAI's model solved Navier-Stokes in 88 hours.OpenAI announced on 8 Sept 2026 a 165-page Lean proof of finite-time blow-up using about 10,000 agents over 88 hours. The Clay Institute has not ruled.firsthandOpenAI
Witness testimony (5)
Bush, von Neumann and Oppenheimer were on the recovery team, per Wilbert Smith's document.Smith's 1950 memo names only Bush. The other names come from Sarbacher's 1983 letter, and he says he didn't attend the meetings.secondhandmeeting participants → Robert Sarbacher → told itVannevar BushJohn von NeumannRobert SarbacherRoswell: the Army's 'flying disc'

Alleged / one person's word (5)
Roswell debris gave us integrated circuits, lasers and fibre optics, exactly what a data centre needs.Corso's book does name them. But the IC came from Kilby and Noyce (1958-59), the laser from Maiman (1960), fibre bundles from 1953-54. The strongest point is the one they dropped: Bell Labs' transistor came five months after Roswell.firsthandPhilip J. CorsoRoswell: the Army's 'flying disc'
UFOs visit nuclear sites, not data centres: maybe AI is permitted and nukes are not.The nuclear pattern is real in this archive (Malmstrom, Ellsworth); no data-centre sightings are cited.speculationDeep Prasad and Jesse MichelsMissiles shut down at MalmstromTwo airmen and a craft at an Ellsworth missile site

Von Neumann kept lecturing about alien spaceships from 1948.His self-reproducing automata lectures start in 1948, a year after Roswell, but they are about machines and biology; self-replicating space probes come later (Bracewell 1960).analysisJesse Michels and Deep PrasadJohn von Neumann
