The implications of detailed scoring

The implications of detailed scoring
I've not seen anyone comment on the choice of "vital" versus "infected" portals. It's an interesting shift, since positive higher-scoring portals had previously been called volatile. The term "infected" is suggestive of another portal virus at work, which may be the result of actions by New Wave Resistance, possibly leveraging technology liberated from Visur. Recall that Devra Bogdanovich had worked on more than one iteration of a portal network virus; perhaps a more precise portal virus has been developed. This may have been part of a covert effort by NWR to ensure control over a reactivated ADA.

    #supposedtowin - I knew they wouldn't let us have a hat trick even though we are dominating many places.

    I doubt it was planned- the end score was pretty close really. Enl seems to be really dominating the North Americas lately.

    I can agree there. Sure things might tip with European leaning blue, but there's usually just about 10% difference one way or another by attendance afaik and it's just down to teamwork and strategy.

    Boots on ground make a big difference too. Singapore strategy was awesome.

    Where did NWR obtain portal virus expertise? They would appear to have weaponized research obtained in part from Visur. Could Japanese XM researchers be involved with NWR?

    That would be a frightening implication. I would hope the depth of
    Enlightened presence in that part of the world would prevent such a
    partnership.

    It would appear that portals were infected ahead of time. Proof of concept during an anomaly surge to see what would happen? Clearly current scanner technology was not able to detect them.

    Another possibility (that isn't exclusive) is a portal virus which is designed to not be easily transmissible.

    I really have to wonder about the nature of portal viruses, given that flip cards were also known as alignment viruses.

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.
