POLICY WIRE — City, Country — A recent TikTok frenzy suggests that a hidden code in a Season 6 episode of The Simpsons, when input into a contemporary AI chatbot, reveals a path to riches by September 1, 2026. J.R. Duren delves into the viral claim.

The Simpsons’ reputation for foreseeing future events is well-established, with predictions ranging from Donald Trump’s presidency to the 2016 Nobel Prize in Economics winner. However, a new TikTok conspiracy posits that a specific Season 6 episode contains a concealed code.

According to TikTok user jacobhartman, this code, when processed by modern AI, pinpoints September 1, 2026, as the date for potential wealth. The theory, however, is widely regarded as an internet hoax, possibly serving as a marketing strategy for aspiring finance influencers.

This is not the first time The Simpsons has been linked to a ‘get-rich-quick’ scheme. Previous claims on Facebook and TikTok have suggested different dates for sudden wealth, all promoting the sharing of videos and engagement with financial advice content.
