Alignment


Alignment
Apologies to Agent derp for not asking permission, but I found the medals interesting. The borders appear to carry key data. Is it possible that medals reflect current alignment, and may update in response to events?

[edited]
Oliver Lynton-Wolfe - black border (neutral?)
NL-1331 - cyan border (green + blue = cross-faction)
Vyctory - blue border (RES?)
Susanna Moyer - green border (ENL?!)
Hank Johnson - green border (ENL)

    Are you referring to the colors of the medal images? Interesting indeed if you are...

    I was. My initial post was incomplete, so I've added the information.

    OLW might infer not thinking about this until they decided to start making more.

    If the Persepolis logo is an indication, it's cyan versus red. Red as N'zeer?

    My thoughts exactly, Jim. The factions team up to fight the NZeer? Bring it on!

    Only Hank, Klue, and Devra were known to have shifted alignment, but those events were prior to the introduction of medals. Oliver shifted sides, but it's unclear if there was any alignment change at all.

    Jim Lai​ A bit of Niantic history might help explain Susanna Moyer​'s green border. Despite the involvement of H. Richard Loeb​ and Klue S.​, the enlightened captured the powerful Anomaly known as Operation Bowstring, in which her supposed alignment was sought after.

    To think I'd taken Moyer's claim of being unaffected by portals without questioning more deeply...

    Maybe the badge border colors are assigned by someone, who is possibly in error.

    Mustafa Said So, if Susanna Moyer​'s badge is green, what would ben jackland​'s be?

    Agreed, she isn't quite as green as Hank Johnson.  I wonder if that might change after #IngressFS  if the Resistance takes the City of the Sun.

    Now I wonder if Susanna was merely claiming immunity to dark XM. She was probably raised as RES due to her family's connections to research.

    Does aligning a simulacrum also align the mortal? Hank's positive attitude in the face of danger hasn't changed, though, and his being ENL as a simulacrum didn't prevent him from calling out the JARVIS entity (or the entity's plan, given potential redacted content) as evil. Restoration of mortality combined with former memories of Alexander as ENL probably affirmed his alignment.

    烏丸みきてぃ You are absolutely fine with the translation. Speak in whatever language you can-it's no problem for me. :D 

    As for Moyer's badge, that's a interesting insight....

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.
