Cut off at the top, but you can still see the resemblance to a skull.

    Looks a lot like this image that was doing the rounds mid-January. Edit: updated with more reliable link to the relevant Ingress post: https://plus.google.com/+Ingress/posts/6a2CjXVrTgx

    Looks like the front of a locomotive to me.. with a cow catcher.

    Maybe we have to create fields to herd cattle next?

    Similarities. This is much more geometric. While that looked like some kind of mask, this one looks like a skull viewed through the lens of Ingress's hexagonal obsession.

    Half tempted to start a rumor that Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head Vodka is the next new sponsor after Doritos.

    Also that big "X" right in the middle that forms the eyes or nose makes me think of Verity.

    Adam Gilmore  assuming the two top parts don't connect, it is also reminiscent of a wolf or some other canine. I like the locomotive idea too. It looks a lot like the transformers symbols for autobots and decepticons morphed together. Maybe its meant to speak to a machine synthesis, like ADA is planning. But here is a fact: that would make one badass patch.

     I didn't see that X! Great catch.

    Has anyone tried breaking the symbol down? It looks a lot like a Recursion R if it was condensed and pushed together with a mirrored R.

    Reminds me of the Man in the Iron Mask...

    Edgar Allan Wright didn't you mention some research you'd done on crystal skulls at one point?

    Possibly a reference to the Crystal Skulls?  I always wondered if they'd be involved in the Ingress existence and XM research.  They've always been dubbed as methods of data storage, so perhaps they transmit ordered data through XM.

    Hey.. maybe its not a skull.. maybe its the cave map to where Hank's body is located.  X marks the spot?

    Bump: saw the 'skull' on this piece of artwork, if you long press the picture it highlights the upper left corner which shows the skull and what I am assuming are morse code markings... https://plus.google.com/100575805686606884990/posts/JuabkziHJmj (edited to add link. Oops.)

    And I'm apparently Morse code challenged: I got "KKYQM?M"
    sigh

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

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you.

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you. What brings you here? What is it that you are investigating? Something in particular? Everything in general? Or are you merely following the story while making clever remarks from the side? And what are your results? What did you discover so far? Also, what methods are you employing, generally speaking? I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
