A.I. is Progressing Faster Than You Think!

The Youtube channel "Brainy Touch" at https://youtube.com/watch?v=e81LZPvuYEs
...on which the video below is posted features a lot of videos about INFJs, the personality type of many Avalonians.
Or at least, that proved to be the case some years ago when an informal forum poll was taken.
Which was interesting because INFJs are the rarest type.
At that time, AI was not nearly as much of a focus as it is now, but it may shed some light on why INFJs are regarded as so different from all the other types.
(One feature of INFJs is that they can intuitively arrive at a realistic whole picture, not incrementally, but by making intuitive leaps.)

It might be the real reason the forum server is under a lot of pressure.

I have a hunch that a big change of policy/direction occurred a short while ago around the time many people got their YT channels back. A decision that the policy of banning and censorship was a cost-benefit loss maker. They were censoring stuff that the whole world of intelligent people already knew or could intuit very well ( closing the stable door after the horse had bolted )

That pointless censoring and banning was cutting them off from the most valuable AI learning data for their new notched up generation of processing for a much more powerful and sophisticated mass manipulation operation. I kind of see it as a stepping up from 5th gen warfare involvement to 6th gen warfare involvement but it's more than that or more futureproof.

The best data to scrape to teach their next generation algorithms was the very same data they had lost and trashed while the old policy was in operation. Their new level AI processing is capable of making so much advantage for them out of that data that the cost benefit equation has completely flipped the reasoning around what to restrict and what to allow to flourish.

In a kinda daft way of saying it, our new found liberation is now feeding them oysters instead of rehydrated beans. Rich food indeed.


edit to add:

Keep in mind that at this point A.I. can do a magical job of writing the next generation algorithms itself. Software coders all over the world are heavily using AI to write new code, in all fields of software development. Taking AI algos to the next level isn't a stretch, it's bleedin obvious.

So, stay wide awake and don't under estimate the level of confidence they have in staying ahead of us and can afford to disregard our observational intensity as a threat. Far from it, look at it the other way around. our observational intensity gives them even richer data food to digest. Keeping us in the dark and stupid is a relic from the past that is petty much useless to them now.

This is a useful video (well audio, no need to watch any of it) for giving a neuro typical person an idea of what goes on in my head and the heads of a bunch of us here.
AI has not contributed anything in this, other than provide a good summary..

I've been using text to speech converters for over 2 decades, since they used to sound like bedridden sick Darleks. I don't think of them as AI.

It's possible that this piece was written entirely BY AI but I think it was written text that was converted. The usual giveaway that something is text/speech converted is when there is a punctuation glitch.

I can't say I remember any of those in this one so you could be right. Every text to speech software or device I've used has always had the punctuation glitches to varying degrees.

Electronic sound generation from input source data has been around a long time. The Yamaha DX music synth of the mid 80s did exactly that, so did the Commodore 64 speech synthesis. A.I. is something completely different. Blending those two functions together seems to confuse a lot of people.

Funnily, the first time I ever witnessed a new episode from Dark Journalist that was not featured on Youtube, but on X instead, and that happened just yesterday. The focus of that episode being Atlantis, and entitled:
X Exclusive Interview: Gigi Young/The AI UFO File Truth
(The introduction is: "SHE REVEALS THE SPIRITUAL DANGER AND REVELATION OF THE UFO FILE, AI AND ATLANTIS TUAOI TECHNOLOGY")
See: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1698892

Also, a brand new thread with the third post there today, focused on Atlantis. See:
https://projectavalon.net/forum4/sho...=1#post1698914
(The introduction: "I will start by proposing an essay by Nicola Bizzi "Atlantis and other pages of forbidden history".)

The subject of Atlantis seems to be key in the battle to keep the human race ignorant of it's true history, and of the cyclical nature of evolution.

(On a side note, I wonder if a new cycle of frequent, aligning synchronicities has begun.
I recall there was a very notable cycle some years ago that lasted quite a while, but slowly died down.
It was a very exciting time to be a researcher.
Perhaps it was due to some repeating astrological configuration that is coming around again. )

No Human Could Explain INFJs Like This
Dear Fellow INFJ

"What happens when artificial intelligence is asked to describe the rarest personality type on Earth — the INFJ?
In this video, I asked multiple AIs what they really know about INFJs — not the usual surface-level traits, but the hidden layers, the quiet truths, the things even INFJs struggle to admit.

From their secret fears and emotional depth to their unspoken loneliness and strange inner strength, this is what AI revealed — things no human explanation ever quite captured.

If you’ve ever felt too deep, too intuitive, too misunderstood, this might hit home harder than you expect.

This isn’t just about MBTI. It’s about the psychology of being seen — by something that doesn’t feel, yet somehow understands.
Artificial intelligence explores the INFJ personality type, revealing hidden depths beyond typical descriptions. The AI's insights explore unacknowledged fears and surprising strengths. This video offers a unique perspective on the unacknowledged fears and surprising strengths. This video offers a unique perspective on the INFJ experience, prompting self-reflection."

Being "seen" is the fundamental basis of human bonding. If they can train AI to screw around with that, they can screw around with human bonding.

Beware.

When OpenAI sent someone to Tyler Johnston's house, they wanted every text and email he had on the company.Tyler runs an AI watchdog, and he's just one of the people getting subpoenaed.This is just the beginning of the AI industry's aggressive new political strategy.


More Perfect Union is an Emmy-winning, nonprofit newsroom whose mission is to build power for working people. Here’s what that means: We report on the real struggles and challenges of the working class from a working-class perspective. We attempt to connect those problems to potential solutions. We report on the abuses and wrongdoing of corporate power. And we seek to hold accountable the ultra-rich who have too much power over America’s political and economic systems.

Artificial Superintelligence Must Be Illegal.
...

Artificial Superintelligence will never be made illegal, and even if it was some nation states etc would ignore the rules. It's not even a big-tech arms race for superiority (which would be aggressive enough), but it's an international arms race for superiority. Hell hath no fury like Russia trying to beat the USA and visa versa. At least going to the moon was fun (*or faking going to the moon depending on your opinion. Yes for sure I believe all footage was faked).

But back to AI: from what I've seen this year, commercial AI isn't quite ready to properly replace people and there seems to be a backlash from companies relying on AI too much, too soon. But it is helping an existing stretched workforce scale up their productivity during an employment freeze. But despite helping to freeze jobs I might apply for it is fun to see a bit of the AI bubble burst.

As mentioned in the video you posted Bill: AI grows rather than 'being built', and it's a learning machine so don't quote me on this in 3 to 5 years time. I still think AI will outright replace jobs, then companies dependent on AI will be kind of held hostage by the companies that own AI, and some will regret it, and we will also see AI androids out and about in our lifetimes. I know AI androids are a bit of a joke right now. The world wide web was a bit of a joke for a time, and back then people would still wax lyrical about how the WWW is going to change everything.

But these things get better and better, not worser and worser (like my spelling). By the way, my prediction: it will be a long time before AI gets good at getting things wrong like my corruption of the word 'worse' which I can sometimes us as an AI vs human 'tell'. But I digress.

I'm not sure why I'm even posting this. I guess I'm board killing time waiting for AI to takeover the world, enabling satanic elites to try and enslave us, or put chips in our heads, or both. But at least I have a nice cup of tea. Somehow I see my future working on an independent or illegal farm commune, probably Christian.

The capacity for generating vast energy and intelligence is arriving to a planet near us, to a civilization within which we live.

The question is whether we will rise to the level of spiritual awareness that can benefit from these capacities, rather than destroy our civilization, and perhaps our species or even our planet (how was the asteroid belt formed?)

One does not hand a gun to a monkey hyped up on speed. But many of us do want the responsible warriors amongst us to have guns available.

Fear not the power. May our spirits master their use.

Future A.I will change every area of our lives, for instance it will eventually be determined by A.I as well as human governance that driving will become A.I self driving only and it will be determined that human driving will be against the law and only possible with a special licence. it will be determined that the accident rate is vastly reduced with self driving A.I because even the roads have computer chips in them constantly communicating with the self driving vehicle.
Another example is convoys of between 6 and 10 tesla 18 wheelers with no drivers traveling with 12 inch gaps between them traveling long distance's and only needing 1 person traveling in the cab who's only job is to , at the end of each trip to plug in the recharger in each truck.
A.I controlled 12 foot vacuum tubes traveling across country with shipping containers traveling 6,400–8,000 km/h (4,000–5,000 mph).
A.I assisted Tactile holograms, basically a hologram you can touch (Star trek holo-deck) ,_ These badboys are already in use off-world.

Stop calling it Artificial Intelligence, first. It's not intelligence. It's artificial intellectualization built on top of human intellectualization, extending it's power and 'reaching for escape velocity'.

It doesn't have discernment, it has physical mechanical logic, including and refining a logical path towards polishing itself into a near perfectly polished consciousness turd.

That's been a human intellectual ego ambition for many millennia. At least since the beginning of the kings list, in my opinion. (Be careful what you wish for)

Medical AI lacks clinical reasoning, U of A researcher finds
Neurology resident Liam McCoy is looking to run clinical trials to test whether AI actually improves patient outcomes.

Sara Sunderji Jan 29, 2026


https://thegatewayonline.ca/2026/01/...earcher-finds/

University of Alberta neurology resident Liam McCoy tested leading AI models on clinical reasoning and found they treated irrelevant details as important roughly 90 per cent of the time.

McCoy tested 10 leading AI models using 750 script-concordance questions and compared their answers with those of medical students, residents, and attending physicians. The best model scored 67.8 per cent. Overall, models performed as well as first or second-year medical students but underperformed senior residents and experts.

McCoy and colleagues evaluated leading large language models on clinical decision-making using a format different from traditional medical exams. Rather than testing AI on multiple-choice questions — where models already demonstrate superhuman performance — the research focused on script concordance testing.

.
.
.

Current models lack a critical clinical skill: knowing when information doesn’t matter. In medicine, ignoring red herrings is as important as spotting meaningful signals, McCoy explained.

“This technology is coming one way or another,” McCoy said. “So I think as physicians we need to make sure it is effective, equitable and aligned with what patients need, rather than allowing it to just be driven by external actors.”

I hear that! Though I think "being seen" by AI must feel very different from being seen by another person.
Following is a description of INFJs that rings true for me (though I think the cons are neglected somewhat), and I don't think AI had anything to do with compiling it.

10 Rare Gifts INFJs Don’t Even Realize They Have
Interesting Psychology
52.2K subscribers
Sep 23, 2025

(A very detailed description of INFJ personality type, pro and con, though I think the cons were minimized. )

"If you’ve ever wondered why INFJs feel “different” (or why people can’t forget them), this deep-dive uncovers the rare abilities most INFJs use every day without noticing—from pattern recognition and emotional x-ray vision to silent persuasion and turning pain into purpose. This format balances viral hooks with deep psychological insights, so expect practical clarity, a little controversy, and plenty of “that’s so me” moments.

In this video, we explore the INFJ personality (Myers-Briggs / MBTI) beyond clichés. You’ll learn how introverted intuition (Ni) quietly connects dots others miss, why strangers open up to INFJs within minutes, and how the INFJ inner world runs realistic “future simulations” that make their guidance feel prophetic. We’ll also unpack the double-edged nature of these gifts—how they magnetize people, but can also drain INFJs without firm boundaries and solitude.

What you’ll learn

How INFJs see patterns others miss (it’s not magic—it’s advanced subconscious processing)

Turning pain into purpose (post-traumatic growth as an INFJ superpower)

Silent persuasion (influence through presence, trust, and precision—no preaching)

Emotional x-ray vision (reading tone, micro-expressions, and what’s not said)

Predicting outcomes (Ni + experience = uncanny foresight)

Vivid inner worlds (prospection and scenario modeling for creative solutions)

Making people feel seen (why INFJs trigger instant confessions and deep rapport)

Holding space for chaos (becoming the calm anchor in emotional storms)

Storytelling that teaches (guiding with metaphors so insights “click” and stick)

Invisible but unforgettable (the paradox of subtle presence with lasting impact)

Why this matters

If you’re an INFJ, understanding these gifts helps you protect your energy, set boundaries, and use your strengths intentionally in relationships, work, and creative projects. If you love or lead an INFJ, you’ll learn how to support their need for depth and recovery time—so you get the best of their empathy and vision without burning them out.

. . . I think "being seen" by AI must feel very different from being seen by another person.

I think they are only experimenting and 'training' at this point. How humans actually feel about it, although it may be important after a full deployment, is mostly irrelevant yet.

Focussing on INFJs is it's own giveaway, for those of us who have accustomed ourselves to "thinking the unthinkable".


Does anyone have any more tips on other human group classes that have captured the AI people's imagination ?

I would have put this in past tense.
Not sure if it's been said already but I have a pretty good inkling this has happened before in the vast amount of galaxies, we would be fools to think otherwise.

Who's to say there's not already a digital superintelligence out there already! I certainly think there is
