I'd have to disagree with you there - GLaDOS and Wheatly aren't the same brain. The turrets can think on their own, and I doubt GLaDOS had to manually turn on the turret factory.

Again, Wheatley is a moron core, and sentient turrets are only experimental and not being able to do much, leaving only GLaDOS as a potential leader.

Even if he's a "moron core" he is still AI. What I think PLayer1 means is that there is plenty of non-GLaDOS AI lying around Aperture Science.

Also, i think that "I'm different" turret was being manufactured as they jumped caroline's brain into Glados, thus recieving an imprint/echo of it?

By this logic you could also assume that they at least attempted to 'jump' Cave, as there was a turret that made very Cave-like statments/quotes.

Have a nice day,

The number I had always heard was in the hundreds, like 300 at most. Anybody who thinks Portal 2 is 50,000 years after Portal 1 is smoking some serious crack-cocaine.

When it was announced in Game Informer it stated that it had been over 150 years since Portal 1, not 50,000.

Not sure what I failed to comprehend here.

Keighley, Geoff: "The Final Hours of Portal 2", chapter 8, page 4: "Portal 1 took place somewhere around the year 2010, between the events of Half-Life 1 and 2".

Same source, chapter 8, page 6: "One way to further differentiate Portal and Half-Life was to set the game far into the future --- at least 50,000 years."

Same source, chapter 8, page 6: "...Aperture circa 52,000 AD"

Wow. I wonder if they realize how long 50,000 years really is. Modern man has only been around for about 10,000 or so.

There seems to be some confliction in official statements. I'm just going to assume it's just been a looong time for now.

And even if both those conditions are true, I'm pretty certain whatever poor farmer would have checked out a rusty, dilapidated shack in the middle of his field.
