It's currently unknown who he was talking to.
The video cuts off at the 1:13 mark, being replaced with text being typed out on the screen. A group of entities have reached out to the viewer, wondering if they are trustworthy. They decide to send them a "gift" in the future to test them. The viewer is told to keep everything they heard a secret, and that the Bigger Bodies Initiative will fail.

Harley Sawyer:
"My name is Harley Sawyer. I'm called "the Doctor." When I look at this company we've built, I do not feel proud." "Declining profits, failed experiments, people are constantly seeing things they shouldn't." "How is that anything less than complete failure on our part? It's pathetic." "Now we're understaffed, safety protocols are being abandoned, workplace incidents are common. We can't avoid a lawsuit forever." "We need to deal with all of these issues at once. I'm here now with a solution." "The Bigger Bodies Initiative." "Giant toys. We can increase our workforce and simultaneously decrease the number of lawsuits and people on our payroll if the people we have working aren't people." "Put me in charge of it, and I will save this company." ... Unknown Entities:Can you hear us? ... Can you see this? ... Give us a sign. Unknown Entities:THERE YOU ARE. ... WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CONTACT YOU. ... IT IS UNCLEAR TO US IF WE CAN TRUST YOU. ... ARE YOU TRUSTWORTHY? Unknown Entities:YOU MUST PROVE YOURSELF. ... WE WILL SEND YOU A GIFT. ...
