I forget the whistleblower who claimed, while working on a secret tech project for the military some time in the mid-seventies, that he saw, handled and worked with 500MHz CPUs. That's twenty-five years before 500MHz chips were available to the general public.

Yes, that was reported both by Richard Dolan and (separately, from a different source) by Dr Bill Deagle.

It was also reported by someone Steven Greer interviewed, I can't remember his name. He was working on a desktop computer around 1970 the public didn't have until 2000. The interesting thing about the interview is I went back to watch it a few years ago. The part were he was talking about it was cut out of the interview. I think it was around the 3 min. in. That was what I remembered most about that interview because I had just finished my degree in computer networking and it blew me away. 1gig processor in 2000.

DOGE's AI Tool 'SweetREX' Set To Take Buzzsaw To Federal Regulations

The little-known project is being spearheaded by Christopher Sweet, a DOGE staffer initially presented as a “special assistant,” who was, until recently, a third-year student at the University of Chicago.



As Reported by Wired
Following Elon Musk’s exit from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Democrats and mainstream media have largely turned their attention elsewhere. Yet, DOGE is quietly making steady progress on an ambitious plan to overhaul federal regulations, according to a report.

SweetREX was developed by associates of DOGE operating out of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The plan is to roll it out to other US agencies. Members of the call included staffers from across the government, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of State, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, among others.

Leading Wednesday's call alongside Sweet was Scott Langmack, a DOGE-affiliated senior adviser at HUD and, according to his LinkedIn profile, the COO of technology company Kukun. (WIRED previously reported that he had application-level access to critical HUD systems; Kukun is a proptech firm that is, according to its website, “on a long-term mission to aggregate the hardest to find data.”) While Sweet led the development side of SweetREX, Langmack said he was taking point on demoing the tool for different agencies and pitching them on its benefits.

DOGE is likely to use the AI tool to eliminate up to 50% of 200,000 federal regulations by January 2026. A DOGE PowerPoint presentation, titled the “DOGE Deregulation Opportunity,” projects that the effort could yield $3.3 trillion annually in economic benefits.

“The DOGE experts creating these plans are the best and brightest in the business and are embarking on a never-before-attempted transformation of government systems and operations to enhance efficiency and effectiveness,” an administration spokesperson told the Washington Post, which first reported on the DOGE presentation.

On Tuesday, a federal appeals court cleared a key hurdle for DOGE, rejecting a labor union effort to restrict the agency’s access to sensitive U.S. user data from government agencies. In a 2-1 decision, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a lower court’s injunction that had blocked DOGE from accessing data held by the U.S. Department of Education, Treasury Department, and Office of Personnel Management, citing potential violations of federal privacy laws, according to Fox News.

This is amazing to us today, but I suspect that in a very short time, this will be commonplace. This drives home the massive change that AI will bring about, most likely in every single industry. We are just beginning to get it.

The beginning of the End for human imagination and creative thinking and ideas .

AI can and will take over from architects, some roles in medics, all areas of Art, Actors and musicians, etc etc, the young will grow up with this tech and will embrace it and wont know any different, while us older folks are only able to see the downfall and demise of human intelligence and creativeness.

I saw an A I song created with fictitious female singer avitar in like 10 seconds, lyrics, music and all. Great sound and singer.

I thought of all the student musicians in all the universities practicing 10 hours a day perfecting their musical technique , only to be obsolete.
As an artist and a songwriter, this is all quite sickening .

To coin a phrase from Jurassic Park, " just because you could of.., doesn't mean you should of..."

I'm certainly on the same page as you. I am slightly older than you but AI is another big reason that I do not want to reincarnate on this planet. I've seen AI "artwork" (if you can call it that) and I am not impressed. I also compose original music so I feel the same way.

However, I am not good at drawing or painting so I had thought of using AI to visually depict my present and past life experiences with ETs, including my D.U.M.B. experience, so I could show others what I experienced. I felt there is no way I could create a color picture of what is in my mind due to not being trained in the visual arts. However, I can draw stick people, but three-dimensional, color paintings are not my forte. I have also seen how ETs use AI to channel fake messages to channelers. So I have become very anti-AI.

So I have disabused myself of that idea and have decided that I am not too old to learn how draw three-dimensional depictions of my memories. I'll just do the best I can. So I have made this my winter project instead using AI.

Technology, like money or any other tool, can be used in a positive way or a destructive way. However, due to the sociopathic control over this planet by both humans and ETs, I don't see AI as a positive technology. Like digital currencies it will be used against us, IMO.

They just told the ai to answer with specific short answers and it did as it was told. This doesn't mean much, you should ask GPT5 a few of your own questions and see how it responds, I don't see anything to fear. Its a tool

Are we really being so short sighted to think that AI makes musicians "obsolete"

Musicians have been playing for free for decades nothing going to change there.
I play music because there is no better way to spend my time.

About 7 years ago, in the UK, during one of my summer trips back to the UK, I went into a charity shop one day, where they sell second-hand books. I spotted a couple of very cheap books by a couple of famous Beat Generation US writers. I'd never bought any US fiction before, prior to that. So I bought the books, and paid cash for them. The shop had cameras in it, but apart from that, they had no way of linking me to the books, since I paid cash, and didn't give any identification in any form.

I then walked down the high street with the books in my hand. The title of one of the books was probably visible, and so could have been picked up by cameras in the high street. By the time I got home, youtube was offering me videos on Beat Generation authors and, if I recall correctly, Amazon was offering me books on the same. I don't recall having any conversations with anybody on the way that would have included mention of American authors, so I don't think my phone could have picked up verbal stuff on the subject.

Presumably cameras either in the shop or out on the street had picked up who I was, recognised me, looked at the title of the book that was visible, linked it to me, and then linked that to my youtube and, I think, Amazon accounts. That's terrifying. And should, in my opinion, be illegal.

I was tempted to do an experiment by buying something REALLY obscure, but I didn't get around to it, plus I figured that the algorithm might be able to figure out that that is what you are doing, gaslighting it, and so just ignore it.

‘Touching stories’ Russians use AI tool to generate ‘farewell videos’ featuring soldiers killed in the war with Ukraine

An online service that uses AI to generate “farewell videos” of soldiers killed in the war in Ukraine has been gaining popularity among Russian users, the Telegram channel Ostorozhno, Novosti reported on Wednesday.

A social media page called “Final Meeting” hosts dozens of these videos. According to the channel, each one depicts a soldier embracing a loved one or relative before walking up a staircase toward heaven, disappearing, or transforming into a bird. The posts also include brief biographies of the deceased.

The price of the videos depends on their complexity, including the number of people featured, the background, and the actions shown. Prices start at around 1,500 rubles ($18.50). For example, a video of a soldier walking up the stairs after a hug costs about 2,000 rubles ($25), while one that includes a kiss starts at 3,500 rubles ($43). Additional Photoshop work is charged separately.

For 3,000 to 4,000 rubles, customers can add voiceovers that use the “real voice” of the deceased to read a personalized message. Due to high demand, the creators warn that orders are currently accepted only through a waiting list, with expedited requests available for an extra fee.

The “Final Meeting” project was created in May 2025 by a 36-year-old named Anna K. from the city of Kamensk-Uralsky. She told Ostorozhno, Novosti that people most often use her service to order “touching stories” such as “video farewells” or videos of themselves hugging their childhood selves. “These are always very deep, personal projects,” she said.

This may sound insane but have you considered this might be supernatural? Supernatural is a mix of good and bad, sometimes good is actually bad, and bad is actually good. E.g: car fails, but it means you don't get to the twin towers etc.

Anyway, I believe you, and think it's more than coincidence because I don't believe in coincidence, but also straight out of my gut I don't believe it's advanced computer stuff, although there are some AI recognition systems that track you that are out and about, so it could be that. But not sure if they're that widespread yet, so my first guess is the supernatural. If it's annoying you, and it IS the supernatural then the supernatural advert blocker is the name and authority of Jesus Christ.

Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered.

Some therapists are using AI during therapy sessions. They’re risking their clients’ trust and privacy in the process.



Declan would never have found out his therapist was using ChatGPT had it not been for a technical mishap. The connection was patchy during one of their online sessions, so Declan suggested they turn off their video feeds. Instead, his therapist began inadvertently sharing his screen.

“Suddenly, I was watching him use ChatGPT,” says Declan, 31, who lives in Los Angeles. “He was taking what I was saying and putting it into ChatGPT, and then summarizing or cherry-picking answers.”

Declan was so shocked he didn’t say anything, and for the rest of the session he was privy to a real-time stream of ChatGPT analysis rippling across his therapist’s screen. The session became even more surreal when Declan began echoing ChatGPT in his own responses, preempting his therapist.

“I became the best patient ever,” he says, “because ChatGPT would be like, ‘Well, do you consider that your way of thinking might be a little too black and white?’ And I would be like, ‘Huh, you know, I think my way of thinking might be too black and white,’ and [my therapist would] be like, ‘Exactly.’ I’m sure it was his dream session.”

Among the questions racing through Declan’s mind was, “Is this legal?” When Declan raised the incident with his therapist at the next session—“It was super awkward, like a weird breakup”—the therapist cried. He explained he had felt they’d hit a wall and had begun looking for answers elsewhere. “I was still charged for that session,” Declan says, laughing.

The large language model (LLM) boom of the past few years has had unexpected ramifications for the field of psychotherapy, mostly due to the growing number of people substituting the likes of ChatGPT for human therapists. But less discussed is how some therapists themselves are integrating AI into their practice. As in many other professions, generative AI promises tantalizing efficiency savings, but its adoption risks compromising sensitive patient data and undermining a relationship in which trust is paramount.

Suspicious sentiments
Declan is not alone, as I can attest from personal experience. When I received a recent email from my therapist that seemed longer and more polished than usual, I initially felt heartened. It seemed to convey a kind, validating message, and its length made me feel that she’d taken the time to reflect on all of the points in my (rather sensitive) email.

On closer inspection, though, her email seemed a little strange. It was in a new font, and the text displayed several AI “tells,” including liberal use of the Americanized em dash (we’re both from the UK), the signature impersonal style, and the habit of addressing each point made in the original email line by line.

My positive feelings quickly drained away, to be replaced by disappointment and mistrust, once I realized ChatGPT likely had a hand in drafting the message—which my therapist confirmed when I asked her.

Despite her assurance that she simply dictates longer emails using AI, I still felt uncertainty over the extent to which she, as opposed to the bot, was responsible for the sentiments expressed. I also couldn’t entirely shake the suspicion that she might have pasted my highly personal email wholesale into ChatGPT.

When I took to the internet to see whether others had had similar experiences, I found plenty of examples of people receiving what they suspected were AI-generated communiqués from their therapists. Many, including Declan, had taken to Reddit to solicit emotional support and advice.

So had Hope, 25, who lives on the east coast of the US, and had direct-messaged her therapist about the death of her dog. She soon received a message back. It would have been consoling and thoughtful—expressing how hard it must be “not having him by your side right now”—were it not for the reference to the AI prompt accidentally preserved at the top: “Here’s a more human, heartfelt version with a gentle, conversational tone.”

Hope says she felt “honestly really surprised and confused.” “It was just a very strange feeling,” she says. “Then I started to feel kind of betrayed. … It definitely affected my trust in her.” This was especially problematic, she adds, because “part of why I was seeing her was for my trust issues.”

Hope had believed her therapist to be competent and empathetic, and therefore “never would have suspected her to feel the need to use AI.” Her therapist was apologetic when confronted, and she explained that because she’d never had a pet herself, she’d turned to AI for help expressing the appropriate sentiment.

The use of AI in therapy isn’t entirely a bad thing. Let me point out that some very helpful AI videos have been posted here on Avalon, albeit by amateur therapists.

For example, here is a delightful fake vid of various wild critters expressing their love for their owners after being reunited after some time of separation.

The example of the thumbnail, with the two blond ladies hugging the same crocodile, also shows that this benefit can last generations. The pics, based on the different sizes of the croc, imply that critters will recognize and love your grandkids and maybe your great-grandkids.

I especially liked the clip of the love-bombed rhinoceros, because I used to want a friendly rhinoceros around when I was being bullied.

I recommend this chan to anyone who wants more of this heartwarming message. There are 40 other vids there, all posted in the last month and a half, with the same title and approximate length and the same sweet style of thumbnail.

How China plans to rule the world in AI



In 2017, while speaking to some students about the dangers of any country monopolizing developments in artificial intelligence (AI), Russia’s President Vladimir Putin declared that “whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will rule the world.” This seems to be true in our current geopolitical context, as the United States and China have shifted their attention to AI as the new battlefront in the Great Power Competition. This is evident from the increased level of AI initiatives, policies, and activities the two countries have engaged in recently. While the actions of the US on AI (along with the European Union’s – notably the EU AI Act, the world’s first comprehensive law on AI) have been the staple of everyday media coverage, China’s AI approaches have not been sufficiently highlighted, except in dense academic analyses that are often not readily accessible by the layperson or in biased coverage that does not do justice to the factual content of China’s strategies. Therefore, sticking only to what’s contained in China’s documents on AI and providing some context where needed, this article will in a simple layout detail China’s approach to influencing AI governance and development on a global level. It will provide insights into how China intends to leverage AI in its bid for global influence. Hopefully, this can help inform the broader public discourse on global AI governance and serve as a guide for researchers and policymakers working on international developments in AI.

The following is a summary of the ways China plans to rule the world in AI. These were derived from a review of China’s top AI policy documents and a relevant analysis, focusing on explicit expressions of China’s strategy for influencing AI governance globally and its approaches to dominate AI developments at an international level.

Recognition of AI as a strategic technology for competing at a global level: China sees and frames AI as a strategic technology for elevating its status among the most innovatively competitive nations of the world, in addition to AI having national security implications. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) in the New Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan (NGAIDP) of 2017 observed the increasing complexity that China faces in national security and international competition in a rapidly emerging world and determined that “[China] must, looking at the world, take the development of AI to the national strategic level with systemic layout, take the initiative in planning, firmly seize the strategic initiative in the new stage of international competition in AI development.” to create new competitive advantage, opening up the development of new space, and effectively protecting national security.” China seems to have recognized the transformational impacts of AI systems across societies and economies and is seeking to position itself strategically. The PRC seeks to become a ‘global science and technology power,’ by having a centrally planned approach to AI aimed at creating competitive advantages in new spaces while also using AI for protecting its national security interests.

Awareness of strengths and weaknesses: In its bid to leverage AI for global competitiveness, China looks to consolidate its areas of strength. The NGAIDP noted: “As a result of many years of continuous accumulation, China has achieved important progress in the field of AI, with the number of international scientific and technology papers published and the number of inventions patented ranked second in the world, while achieving important breakthroughs in certain domains of core crucial technologies.” The PRC went on to list other areas of China’s technological leadership and accomplishments, such as voice recognition, visual recognition, industrial and service robots, intelligent monitoring, and biometric identification. However, China seems clear-eyed about its abilities; it acknowledges the areas in which it must improve. The PRC observed that despite China’s achievements in the areas listed, there is still a gap between China’s ‘overall level of development of AI’ in comparison to other developed countries, specifically concerned about achieving major original results in areas such as basic theory, core algorithms, key equipment, high-end chips, and more. China looks to address these and other areas through urgently improving basic infrastructure, policies, regulations, and standards systems.

Monitor global trends in AI development and seize opportunities: In achieving its AI plans, China is not risking being haphazard in its approach, throwing its resources at everything and everywhere. Instead, the PRC looks to be opportunistic and utilizing-maximizing. According to the NGAIDP, China will “accurately grasp the global development trends of AI, find the correct openings for breakthroughs and directions for the main thrust.” The PRC plans to monitor global AI developments through studies that evaluate general trends and R&D efforts that proactively explore key frontier domains in AI development. By capitalizing on opportunities revealed in crucial areas by trendwatching, China hopes to lead the world by setting the trend itself.

Obtain a first-mover advantage: A recurring word in China’s AI policy documents is ‘first-mover advantage.’ This is indicative of the PRC’s intent to drive novel discovery and application of AI systems. To realize this, the Ministry of Education released the Artificial Intelligence Action Plan for Institutions of Higher Education (Action Plan) in 2018. The Action Plan stated the following as one of its purposes: “that China can gain a first-mover advantage in the development of artificial intelligence.” The implication of this is that China preconceives that certain benefits of AI will only accrue to first-movers and it works towards realizing these.

Deliberate resource allocation: Money, they say, makes the world go round. AI is no exception and China understands this. The NGAIDP notes that China will “fully use existing finances, bases and other such stored resources, comprehensively plan the allocation of international and domestic innovation resources.” The PRC intends to allow inputs from its financial administration experts to inform its use of policy incentives, aiming at achieving the most optimal allocations of its resources for pursuing innovation on a global scale. Therefore, to realize its vision of being a global science and technology power, China is prioritizing a conscientious allocation of its financial and other resources in its domestic and international policies.

Achieve theoretical and technological breakthroughs in AI: During budget cuts in many countries, funding for basic science is usually an area that is negatively impacted because the returns are often not immediately apparent or readily applicable. However, China has identified this area as a critical area that will inform its capacity to develop world-leading AI systems and drive its economic ascent to global power. The NGAIDP states that “By 2025, China will achieve major breakthroughs in basic theories for AI, such that some technologies and applications achieve a world-leading level and AI becomes the main driving force for China’s industrial upgrading and economic transformation.” The Action Plan also expresses China’s ambition to move the field of new-generation AI forward, stating that it will “make a number of original achievements of international significance” and “demonstrate a world-class level in some theoretical research, innovative technology, and application.” By achieving groundbreaking progress in new-generation AI theory and technology systems, China hopes to contribute to AI applications in fields like intelligent manufacturing, intelligent medicine, and national defense construction, all of which it expects will greatly expand and strengthen its economy. And the results are already starting to come in. As of 2020, China leads the world in the number of AI publications, and as of 2022, China has filed the highest number of AI patents. These results are also aided by China’s expanding domestic market and AI-promoting privacy-weak regulations.

Entering global markets and fostering globalization: China hopes that the cumulative effects of its theoretical and technological breakthroughs in AI will be increased influence in global markets. The NGAIDP predicted that China will achieve ‘world-leading levels’ in AI theories, technologies, and applications by 2030, making it the ‘world’s primary AI innovation center.’ The PRC hopes that producing tangible results from the application of AI in intelligent economy and society arrangements will build a solid foundation to catapult it to a position of economic power among innovative nations in global markets. In addition to this, China is determined to actively support its domestic AI enterprises and brands to attain a global leading status and facilitate international cooperation with top foreign AI enterprises and research institutes. The “Internet+” Artificial Intelligence Three-Year Action and Implementation Plan (Internet+ Plan) detailed China’s plan to “encourage cooperation with relevant countries to strengthen the R&D and application of AI technology, integrate domestic and foreign innovation resources, and enhance the innovation capabilities and international competitiveness of the AI industry. We will support relevant industry associations, industry alliances, and business service organizations as they build service platforms and provide international cooperation and overseas innovation services for innovative companies in the AI field.” Finally, China hopes to expand its influence on AI developments internationally by partnering with fellow member countries within BRICS as well as through its ‘One Belt, One Road’ initiative – a foreign policy strategy to increase its global footprints through financing infrastructural, trade, and investment projects around the world – while also obtaining foreign AI investments in research and development.

Investment in talent pipeline and education: Talent is a critical element and resource for AI developments and China recognizes this in its plan for global influence in AI. This is especially important given China’s increasing brain drain of scientific and technological talents, many of whom are leaving the country because of undemocratic political and social conditions. The NGAIDP details how China seeks to address what it considers a strategic weakness in its AI plans. By prioritizing the ‘construction of a high-end talent team’ the PRC seeks to build a talent base both by improving its AI education system and by hunting for the ‘world’s top talent and young talent.’ It looks to achieve this through establishing personnel training centers, research collaborations with the world’s top AI research institutions, getting technical advice from international top AI talents, support for academic exchange overseas and technical exchanges, and using talent plans such as the “Thousand Talents” plan. The Action Plan notes that “By 2030, colleges and universities will become the main force behind building the world’s main AI innovation centers and will lead the development of a new generation AI talent pool to provide China with the scientific and technological support and guaranteed talent to put it at the forefront of innovation-oriented countries.” In light of this, institutions of higher education are encouraged to adapt their curricula to be responsive to cutting-edge developments in global science and technology, create additional AI-related majors that address industrial demand nationally and regionally, cross-integrate professional education for AI with other disciplines, and create world-class teaching materials.

Influence global standards and governance: China is no longer content to take directions and follow the rules on AI made by its Western counterparts. Instead, it now longs to be actively involved in participating and even leading the formulation of international standards on AI. The PRC noted in the NGAIDP that it will take a more active part in the global governance of AI. China looks to focus on studying major problems common to the international community, such as robot alienation and safety supervision, and improve its collaboration with other countries to develop AI laws, regulations, and international rules to “jointly cope with global challenges.” The PRC hopes to support its homegrown AI enterprises to participate or lead in the development of technical standards internationally, even as they promote their AI products and services overseas. The Action Plan also documents the role of China’s education plan in influencing international standards and regulations. By encouraging and supporting Chinese scholars to occupy influential positions in international academic organizations and actively take part in drafting international AI regulations, the PRC believes it can influence many international AI spaces with Chinese initiatives and standards. Finally, the Internet+ Plan expressed China’s plan to support its relevant departments, research institutions, standardization organizations, industry organizations, and enterprises to be actively involved in setting international AI standards, working with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) among others, to put in place mechanisms for standards exchange and cooperation. The PRC did not mince words about its intent for doing all these: “We will promote the export of Chinese AI standards to the wider world and continuously enhance our international clout.” Obviously, China is fully out to rewrite the rules.

Understanding China’s game plan can help other actors in AI developments and governance generally prepare and respond adequately. It is imperative that the world keeps an eye on China seeing that it is very motivated to lead in the new era of Artificial Intelligence and whatever China does can affect us all.

It's a great example of the CCP's tactics, which all too often are not recognized for what they are--not just anti-CCP propaganda.

This is amazing to us today, but I suspect that in a very short time, this will be commonplace. This drives home the massive change that AI will bring about, most likely in every single industry. We are just beginning to get it.

Plot twist, this is NOT Rick Beato, he never made this video, ALL A.I.!
