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...
It is. The Temple of Janus reminded me of the opening door in Carrie's journal, and that much of the story thus far revolves around times and locations of war. I also found his end interesting; two sarcophagi, an empty one that was supposed to contain his body, and another full of documents penned by him, an "agent of the gods" - these documents having been destroyed by "the powers that be" for being "too dangerous" for the people to see.
ReplyDeleteone of the investigation board months was named Janus as was one of the labs
ReplyDeleteIn keeping with the "names related to ships" theme, we find the image of Janus combined with the image of a ship on old Roman coinage - http://www.alluriana.com/janus.html
