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...
Jim Lai both Niantic and Whydah had storied past - much like the Millennium Falcon. They're vessels that were involved in smuggling (goods and people) and/or piracy.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Roman Era smuggling uncovered in a shipwreck here:

Quote: Dating to the third century AD, the large sunken ship was fully recovered ... The unique [interlocking] tiles were apparently valuable enough for sailors to smuggle them from North Africa to Rome, where they sold for higher prices.
Another thing about shipwrecks - It gives me this image of ancient astronauts stranded on Earth and converted their ships into monolithic bases.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. We will have to meditate on Shipwrecks.
