I thought Thomas Greanias might be interested in what seems to be an implementation of some of Conrad Yates' techniques in practice (posted here due to the astronomy connection):

    The kid lives not far from here. He's gonna get help to publish an article in one of the biggest science journal. People are now using is technique to find other "lost world" 😊 that's pretty sweet

    Now we come to find out it's an old corn field and not really a discovery

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.
