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...
I have come to side with the majority on this. It is am elaborate prank community-organized event. Not one of the principals from Niantic has even mentioned it. If it were real, they would be pumping it.
ReplyDeleteSeems that way... Either way, just making ppl aware of it.
ReplyDeleteSarah Rosen you're so sure of yourself
ReplyDeleteIt's an elaborate player-run event, which doesn't totally surprise me given that no official Niantic account ever interacted with Margaret or the BDRB. That's not the same thing as a prank.
ReplyDeleteBryant Durrell Umm, true. I think Sarah Rosen might have used the word "prank" a bit strongly.
ReplyDeleteBryant Durrell I fixed it for you.

ReplyDeleteYeah, looks like this is the reason the the Op Essex board has been spammed with those Mystic posts.
ReplyDeleteI've spoken with the person behind this and expressed concern that it wasn't made clear from the start that this was all fan-fiction, and that Essex ended up being used to put a veneer of canonicity to it. They will try and be more clear about it in the future.
ReplyDeleteI think the entire event was a stunt by Nviea Sarriha (can't link to his profile because restricted his account) to sell t-shirts, and it was dishonest of him to not admit that up front. https://storify.com/bauserdotcom/the-tedio-conspiracy
ReplyDeleteI'm a little disappointed how gullible some members of Operation Essex were. I thought you people were supposed to be investigators.
Nviea seems to be deleting/hiding most of the involved accounts now, but Tedio Global is still pushing the t-shirts.
Michael Bauser I found that writeup fascinating, did you intentionally leave out the link between the names themselves. Evin Harris and NIVEa SaIRRAHa?
