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...
Nope, just making money selling badges. I have not received any thing special as of yet.
ReplyDeleteYou said it, yet.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience, Dark XM has been located in areas of peculiar "natural energies" concentration - similar to how "normal" XM tends to be located in areas of "creative energies" concentration. Now, which direction the path of causation points is debatable, but I assume it is not as important here as the correlation. I suspect that they are seeking candidates capable of journeying to locations "off the beaten path" that may be inaccessible to your average agent in order to scout for the companies. When a location of high enough surface concentration is found, then the sponsor company can swoop in, fight for resource rights, and go to town digging.
ReplyDeleteTo the mythology route - perhaps to see the effect of massive XM (anomaly event levels) on people engaged in physical activity (aka Xm enhances creativity can it be used to enhance physical aspects as well). A better connecting of mind and body (is that not what the physical piece of GoRuck with the challenges represent)?
ReplyDeleteClearly it is a test of physical prowess and motivation under XM influence. The corporations already know that anomalies draw agents and become a more powerful occurrence from this, but very little has been researched as to the effects on these agents. GoRuck challenges are a cover for this monitoring, and the GoRuck cadre present should be considered a high level asset of one player or another.
ReplyDeleteAs a member of GR001 reporting. There's nothing to fear. All is well. There are no experiments. Breathe deeply, lose yourself.
ReplyDeleteNow that I have finished the GORUCK challenge, it is clear what the immediate goal is for us agents involved. To teach us nerds leadership skills and how to use social skills to strengthen communication as players and people. I found it a great opportunity to bond with my team, we even had a few opportunities to learn what causes common team mistakes.
