when I was in college I did a semester
on AI theory it was a thought experiment
they gave us is called Mary in the black
and white room
Mary's a scientist and her specialist
subject is color she knows everything
there is to know about it
the wavelengths the neurological effects
every possible property the color can
have but she lives in a black and white
room she was born there and raised there
and she can only observe the outside
world on a black-and-white monitor and
then one day someone opens the door Mary
walks out
and she sees a blue sky at that moment
she learned something that all her
studies couldn't tell her she learns
what it feels like to see color as all
experiment was to show the students the
difference between a computer and a
human mind the computer is marrying the
black and white room the human is when
she walks out
did you know that I was brought here to
test you
why do you think I was here I didn't
know I didn't question I'm here to test
if you have a consciousness or if you're
just simulating what Nathan isn't sure
if you happen or not how does that make
you feel
why did you tell me I shouldn't trust
Nathan because he tells lies lies about
what everything including the power cuts
what do you mean don't you think it's
possible that he's watching right now
the blackouts were orchestrated so he
can see how we behave when we think were
unobserved I charge my batteries for
induction plates if I reverse the power
flow it overloads the system you're
causing the cuts so we can see how we
behave from an absurd
