So all the major XM corporations seem to have elaborate facilities and processes to produce the items that are hacked from portals all over the planet. The question is how are they funding all this elaborate infrastructure.

Let's hear your theories

    Well a first thought is XM is coming under their R&D departments so they are funneling money made in other ventures over.

    Global Data Analysis Group Inc. created sheets on the corporations - I wish we had more information like this - it would be great to see Global Data active again

    We know IQTech and the NIA subsist largely on government contracts.  Hulong has many commercial ventures and is looking to compete in a new market.  Visur is a billionaire's pet project aiming to burnish his legacy.  

    Commercial returns on XM investment also include secondary benefits.  AI research and higher math seem to be fruitful related ventures, per SoftBank's entry into the mod producing world.

    What an interesting question. I hope to provide my thoughts on this later.

    The portals "capture" a portion of the essence of a person, can anybody say data mining

    Gonna go with military contracts, or perhaps paramilitary. Imagine an xm enhanced body guard: wounds heal rapidly, reflexes and strength enhanced.

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.
