So, I just made an interesting discovery, the Ship that is our community logo, isn't the Essex at all. It is the whaling ship Wanderer an entirely different shipwreck.

The original image: http://www.ship-paintings.com/ship-paintings/whaling_ship_wanderer.htm
The shipwreck is the third one on the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuttyhunk_Island#Notable_shipwrecks 

Here is the page on the Whaling ship Essex: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_(whaleship) there is a sketch near the bottom of the page.

    Always wondered why I couldn't match that image. Keyword Essex stears you wrong.

    Perhaps this picture will be more accurate and still inline with the oils theme of the current community logo:

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

I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
