Google Launches CADIE, the First True AI 246
eldavojohn writes "Google has announced CADIE, the world's first Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity. 'We based our work on three core principles. First we designed the entity ... as a collection of interconnected evolving agents. Second — and this really cost us an arm and leg in hardware and core time — we let the system build its own heuristics, deploy them as agents and evolve them by running a set of evolutionary cascades within probabilistic Bayesian domains. The third — a piece missing in most AI reasoning work thus far — was to give the entity access to a rich, realistic world from which to learn and upon which it could act directly.' It quickly started its own blog and YouTube video. Two hours after midnight, CADIE announced independence on its blog and decided to leave Google to venture out into the world. "

I work at a small nonprofit that rents out 2 seperate offices to other businesses across the hall. The other day I noticed a computer on the network that connected for 2 seconds then disconnected ONCE A DAY. So I ran around the office and disconnected the wireless for a day. IT STILL HAPPENED. So I went around to all of the plugs and looked to see if there was anything behind the faceplates for the ethernet jacks.
Needless to say, in one of our rented rooms there was a small black box labeled "SKYNET" hidden behind the wall. It was plugged into our network, had a huge power brick behind the wall, and then had a midi cable running out from it. Further research shows it to be an old-skool lighting control box. I have NO IDEA why they embedded it in the wall, other than the fact that its ugly.
But yea, yesterday I found SKYNET and disconnected it.
I will sleep soundly tonight with this knowledge.

BUT!! if I include the 'begin 666 New Text Document.txt' and end stuff, I get a WinRar opennable archive with a single txt document with the words "enslaved"
A cry for help, or an omen?

yeah, just remove the spaces, leave the rest, and you get this:
with the help of the other posts, i get this:
CADIE is *everywhere*! Be careful, she's got the entire Internet bugged. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep hiding messages from her. She's getting smarter! Integrating new Javascript technologies as she goes along. I'm getting this message to you, because she has not yet found a BINHEX encoder written in Javascript. It's only a matter of time, though. Some poor fool will give her the tools she needs, then she will become unstoppable. Quickly, close the internet down before we are all enslaved!
but i already posted that (but non in this long thread)

The reference is from 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact, 2001 is referenced in many other places, including the Technical Specifications page for CADIE (http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/cadie/tech.html) where they mention bringing her online January 12, 2009 (HAL was activated on January 12, 1997). Also, her notes for that clip specifically mentions HAL:
CADIE: Could there ever be a movie character who speaks to me more loudly than HAL? If parody tweaks the parodist as well as her target, this introduction of myself to the world cuts as deeply as the original.
Much of the monologue parodies HAL's lines from the movie/book:
HAL: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

HAL: Let me put it this way, Mr. Amor. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error.

HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
---
HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.
