A Programmer's Guide to ADA

A Programmer's Guide to ADA

So, I've been talking about this project for so long now that I'm sure some of you feel like I'm making it up. For those who don't know about it, here are two links I'd posted... wow, ages ago:

Anyway, a discussion in hangouts the other day (and my general interest in AI) made me really want to get back to this and at the very least get it ready to show. I'll skip the massive disclaimer since enough people have seen it now and no one has reported any explosions, but definitely consider this a preview release. I finished fixing the obvious issues about 10m before I posted it. And the massive disclaimer is still on the site for your reading pleasure. ;-)

That said, the other features are coded (but hidden), they just need testing. So assuming I don't go all, "Oooh, shiny!" yet again, I'm hoping to have this ready for people besides me to test fairly soon.

So, all that said, here's the link:

Even with a few missing features, you'll be able to see where I'm going with it. I'll update here as I get the rest of the features ready. I'm really looking forward to finally being done with the coding and actually getting started working with people on the project itself!

P.S. I have no idea who, if anyone, I should tag with this, so if you know anyone who might be interested in the project, feel free to tag in the comments. Despite the name, I'm definitely not expecting participation to be limited to just programmers.

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.
