The background image of the "Obsidius I" message.

It is described as follows:
"Roman ridge helmet (Berkasovo I), early 4th century AD. Made of iron and sheathed in silver-gilt, it is decorated with glass gems. From the “Berkasovo treasure”, Muzej Vojvodine, Novi Sad (Serbia)"

Apparently it's on display at the The Museum of Vojvodina. [http://www.muzejvojvodine.org.rs/index.php/eng/]

    Nice work!  Was that done just with Google reverse image search, or something more sophisticated?

    Auros Harman​ I searched Google Images for "Roman Helmet", then browsed the results. One may say I used the most sophisticated image recognition in my disposal - my brain ;-).

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...

I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
