This is Mike’s classic way of posting a video. Likewise, his videos are titled “I Survived a Plane Crash” and “I Survived 100 Hours of AI Control.” In this video, he convinces a stranger, his old classmate “Adam”, to join him in robbing a bank. However, what Adam didn’t know was that Hopkins had already arranged it all and choreographed all the moves carefully. The robbery was staged, including a police chase and eventual arrest. Nothing in the video is real, but it looks very real to the viewer.

FBI agents also contact Adam to help them find Mike due to his connections to the school. After that, they became partners in robbing fake banks. Adam spent 6 weeks in his simulation and was not allowed to know the truth until the end. Adam only knew that “the cameras were filming them,” not the full extent of it.

“This guy is going to have serious trust issues,” an audience member said of the proceedings on Adam’s behalf.
