A curious remark from an agent in the field.

A curious remark from an agent in the field. I will try to get more information, but I fear s/he may already have deactivated their scanner.

    I'd hate to get the bill for those roaming charges.

    texting? But obviously not in Ingress because the agent would not have their scanner installed when getting the message. So SMS or G+, or simply an e-mail?

    Is it a RedX phone?

    Martin Brenner Well, if you've given Google your mobile number for security purposes, it would be possible.  Kind of weird, though.  Not like there's any shortage of players, with so many new ones coming online now.

    That is curious. But also possibly this person had given their number to a fellow player who got desperate for help with something.

    I don't think Google would send "spam" messages to those who aren't playing.  Sure, they have this information because of the account association between devices, but why send texts, email would be easier.

    They would need players to opt-in for texts also I would think.

I find myself going back to P.A.Chapeau's "new blog" on the official Ingress Prime's site and I'm getting sadder and sadder as time moves on seeing it was dropped and Niantic gave up on it... like most things they do. I suppose I ASSUMED it would be weekly but by now we would've heard from P.A. about the new Dunraven videos and some more develepments... Some thoughts until the next video comes up

so, general question.

so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment).  At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else.  Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming.  NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not?  How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha...
