u/isafuck Apr 02 '23

I wish I were joking but I just googled 'alan turing "alter"' on google and found the quote

u/ppParadoxx Apr 02 '23

from the brittanica site right? quotes on Google are so useful lol

It's my inkling that they're just there as a red herring

u/CandyButterscotch Apr 02 '23

I can't wait for someone to explain all of this logically when it's all over.

I'm seeing that it was a quote from Turing, but failing to see how it connects to reddit. Maybe that's the imposter part lol.

Damn, and here I was thinking the answer had something to do with "Steamed Ham" because the coordinates (51.507, 0.127) lead to "Thamesmead," which is an anagram of that LOL

aurora borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen!?

u/cxtx3 Apr 02 '23

...yes.

u/Truegold43 Apr 02 '23

Shoot I was in the middle of the South Atlantic ocean on Maps trying to find the alternative of some coordinates that I found.

But that's precisely what's the most fun about this year's prank! We're all running around like ants trying to find food, and somehow one of us gets it and brings it back to the hill.

Interesting. More 3s and 21s. Assuming the numbers match to letters, those have got to be common letters, like RSTLNE

Edit: someone responded to me in the 08 thread, and brought up latitude and longitude, or more broadly anything to do with 0°-360°. Not sure if it leads anywhere, but that would keep all the numbers "in bounds", whereas some earlier computer-related guesses wouldn't work due to 288 not fitting in the 0-255 range.

…and your ten seconds starts…

u/xSympl Apr 02 '23

No see it's not RSTLNE it's RLSTNE. This is a meta ad for his next choose-your-own-adventure book.

Reader beware, you choose the scare.

u/Clessrynne Apr 02 '23

Maybe it will be coordinate pairs to find on r/place

Whats that answer referencing to?

u/Upsilodon Apr 02 '23

Turing gave quite possibly the earliest public lecture (London, 1947) to mention computer intelligence, saying, “What we want is a machine that can learn from experience,” and that the “possibility of letting the machine alter its own instructions provides the mechanism for this.”

From Britannica’s AI article
