So everyone has been talking about the recent XM famine, however I barely notice it. There actually seems to be MORE of it, albeit spread out. It seems to congrate on roads in small clumps. I actually seems more plentiful in no field areas, far from portals. I haven't been able to check a restitance field for XM.

    There is definitely a lack of XM there in your shots. I would also think that because it is LA and has a larger population that you Also have more XM than rural areas...

    Maybe a just noticed it because I do a lot of my gathering on roads, away from portals.

    There is no 20 minute refresh of XM like before. What I see in Vienna is a verry low number of XM arround Portals.

    Portals in town aren't generating much in Pueblo, CO. It is there but not much of it and it is taking a long time to show back up what little there is of it

    "Wild" ground XM is unchanged.  Portal XM (which normally regenerates in a dense 40m circle around the portals shortly after the level of the portal increases, or ever 21 minutes and 30 seconds) is gone.

    I don't think anyone knows exactly what the rules are for where ground XM appears; some have hypothesized that the distribution was populated originally using the frequency of requests for Google Location Services from all Android devices, and has since been updated over time using frequency of Ingress client pings.

    You definitely see a ton of ground XM along well-traveled highways (where lots of people are running GMaps on their Android phones.)

    Ground xm is based on activity levels in that area... generated by cell phone activity is the logical cause. Most likely using a form of Google analytics

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.
