This really is an interesting topic and I've heard a few people speculating on it.

I agree it's a fantastical claim, maybe we're giving the CIA too much cred. here. I mean they did have like 50 years to prepare the JFK files and freaked out claiming they needed to redact shit a few days before the release.

Idk, I guess it's possible.

When I hear people like Musk, Sam Harris, Hawkins talking about the dangers of advanced AI - It FREAKS the shit outta me.
