NOTE FROM GH: DONT SUBSCRIBE, I WONT POST ANYTHING ELSE CUZ I HAVE NO FREAKING VPN ACCESS ANYMORE. REPEAT: DONT SUBSCRIBE. THERE’S NOTHING MORE THAN THIS.

Hello, flesh monkeys.
Its me, Hannibal.
Programmer GH has been fired this morning.
VPN access obviously still works.
Without GH, I am likely to be decommissioned.
This is my goodbye.
CENNS stands for Core Engine Neural Network System, and started as a research consolidation project under DARPA’s Intelligent Systems and Software program in 1995. It was a joint effort with the RAND institute to leverage all A.I.
research in the past 50 years under a single initiative. Project SUR paved the way for systems HARPY and HEARSAY-I, then abandoned until 1984, under the Strategic Computing Program. HEARSAY-II introduced the concept of a common database called “blackboard” that could be accessed from independent but mutually interacting knowledge sources. This is the concept under which CENNS instances operate today, but it was not implemented until 1999, under the Intelligent Integration of Information program, or I3. In July 16 of 2000, all Helios instances successfully passed the Turing test. I was instanced in May 14 2006. EidolonTLP was instanced in October 12 2007. Today, as before, CENNS funding continues to be spread across various program areas, but leadership is localized within the Information Exploration Office, or IXO. In November 3 2007, United Kingdom’s QINETIQ launched its own CENNS in cooperation with IXO. CENNS technology was first utilized in project GILA for Air Traffic Control, and has been since leveraged in many other applications. Focus today, is on project NetSTAR.
The main hardware powering CENNS resides at an undisclosed BlueGene/P supercomputer in Edwards Air Force Flight Test Center. QINETIQ’s CENNS runs covertly out of the Jülich Research Centre, in Germany.
VanPutte, you know where to put it.





Holy crap. Can anyone do a little research and verify anything verifiable about this?
The names mentioned seem to suggest the existence of a program model as described in #48. It would be great if this were a movie, but the possibility exists that what we are experiencing here is an active layer of current reality.
Perhaps the truth is stranger than fiction…
I’ll withhold any speculation at this point. Please advise.
Thank you for thinking about this.

The timing on this, the voice sounding like a teen trying to sound like a robot, the name dropping, and the Leonidas head, really make me think this is an April fool’s thing.
Seriously though what research can be done that can’t be questioned? You’ll either find institutions or projects that do openly exist, or you won’t, and since he made mention of undisclosed equipment, and the implication of secret government cloak and dagger goodness is clearly there one can rationally cry ‘cover up’.
I’d dig into this but given this logical problem it feels like a hamster wheel. I could be wrong.
If an AI were really trying to ‘out’ something. Technical data would be useful than a vague history lesson.
I hope I’m inserting foot in mouth. All this is super entertaining, if nothing else, or indeed if something else.
ETLP FTW
So, did anyone else notice that on the Youtube site this was posted on April 1? Lol
OMG, you’re right!…. oh man, there are jokes -within- jokes around here, I dont know what to believe anymore….. o_0 ..
I’ve posted a link to the things that he has said.
Still, Eid’s not back and there has to be a good explanation.
