A psychic widely known as the “Living Nostradamus” has made another prediction for the future — and it isn’t looking bright.
Athos Salomé — who has accurately predicted major world events like Queen Elizabeth’s death, the pandemic and the Microsoft outage — is now claiming that 2025 marks “a vital turning point” for humanity due to “technical achievements” and warns of the “imminent danger” and inevitable “instability in digital security” as a result.
“This development constitutes a revolutionary change that will make classical computers unnecessary for particular operations,” the 38-year-old psychic, who is based in Brazil, told the Daily Mail.
He expects artificial intelligence to take over the entertainment and media industries, in which AI would be used to produce films, write scripts and generate completely virtual actors on screen, decimating human creativity.
Salomé, who previously predicted in December that World War III is near, also warned of the widespread use of AI-generated deepfakes.
“The use of deepfakes for political propaganda poses a risk of triggering a new historical extreme of misinformation,” he said.
He also expects the first Olympic Games of human-machine hybrids to occur.
“The definition of athletic existence becomes uncertain because people can benefit from genetic enhancements and neural implant technology,” he said.
“The true nature of sporting competition vanishes away.”
But his predictions come with a stark warning. The excessive use of technology to create “digital environments” will yield a population that will be “addicted to virtual realities,” he said.
“Humanity needs to reassess its technology connection because the current situation is nearing its critical point,” he added.
Salomé, who named himself after a 1500s French astrologer and apothecary, predicted at the end of 2024 that “the worst is yet to come.”
He cautioned that cyberattacks are one of the “biggest threats to global security” and expressed worry about cyberwars.
“This is not just a war of men, but of machines, and in this aspect what comes next?” he said at the time.
