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...
"...The faction that controls this data will possess something of tremendous value..." - so what was in the data? Did anyone ever find out? Or was this just a plot device to get people to take part in the anomaly?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the data was ever publicly released. There was something... But no one seems to really know what it was.
ReplyDeleteMy theory was that it was early previews of how the non-shield mods were supposed to work.
ReplyDeleteFor whoever sat on that data and did not let it be released to the public, I say shame on them. If keeping it exclusive granted any sort of situational advantage, that advantage did not seem to be reflected in the results of the anomalies that followed, or in the back and forth swings of global MU score.
What did your secrecy buy you?
Paul Gettle I'd still prefer they did that than try to Dougley the storyline like the London E did.
ReplyDeleteYou'll note that Niantic apparently regrets playing along with that one, as every anomaly reward has subsequently been later released via the investigation board/g+ if the winners didn't reveal them in a timely fashion.
it maybe too that there was no data ever sent, in that Kureze was killed before completion - I do wonder why 7 packets.... Kureze was the numbers man and the one doing a lot of the particle research
