Revisiting Atlas for a second:
‘conducting research in the fields of artificial and distributed intelligence, simulated worlds, and metaphysical analysis’
combined with the lateral computing topics…
It’s starting to sound to me that Atlas is a corporation that not only ‘created a virtual universe’ by playing with random algorithms (and possibly chaos theory), but also created ‘us’ (our characters in the game) and are running an experiment to see if our logic would draw conclusions about a perceived ‘creator’ to form a sense of meaning out of the randomness.
Possibly to see if we develop a need to discover our creators (Atlas), and analyze what it is that lures a conscious to seek answers to their existence.
It could also be seen by Atlas as the ultimate transcendence of AI to become aware of ‘a creator’, which could be considered the last link between an AI consciousness and a human consciousness.
See: Apophenia
Particularly, ‘Confirmation bias’, ‘Randomania’ and ‘Pattern recognition’.
This may be unrelated, but it’s something to think about.
I suspect some of the fourth ad anticipation is that the Atlas website feels incomplete and some believe once the site is mentioned in this reality it will finalize and populate as the other sites have done, providing additional information.
For now there are three morse codes - probabilistic computing, evolutionary computing and 19may1933
and three broadcasts
We are the mystery hiding in plain sight. If you’re curious enough, if you’re bold enough, you will find us. Pay close attention.
Sometimes you hear something that sticks in your mind afterward. You’ll wonder about it in your quiet moments. A question without an answer. A puzzle you can’t solve.
Pay close attention. You followed our clues and solved our riddles. But you were missing a piece. Until now. Will you solve the mystery or will you wonder forever?
So, from what I understand, Atlas created a virtual world and maybe they also created us, and there will be something on the CALYPSO radio station, am I right? If yes, we need to try to talk with Atlas, maybe starting sending to them messages instead of them sending to us.
I think we might have overlooked something or we really have to wait for further clues…
Did someone check if the other sites also have been updated like superlumina?
This hex string translates to “NOODLES”. A few minutes ago I found it is an anagram of “OLD ONES”. It might be of interest, since a Titan is an Old One. It might also be a Lovecraftian reference or even a reference to the ones that built the Atlas and got wiped by it in NMS Universe.
“Currently the Atlas Foundation is not accepting press requests, and recruitment is by invitation only.”
Has anyone tried sending their NO MAN’S SKY game key (one of the 80 received through waking titan) to the info@atlas email as “proof of invitation” maybe?
I would recommend only doing so if you already used the key or don’t intend on using it at all.
Since it is a contained email that has to do with waking titan i don’t think it would be a problem, but rather safe than sorry
Its just my random thoughts here but if anything was to seem like an “invite” to the atlas program it would be a free copy of the game in which the program is in affect.
Ok, so basically this message is pointing us to something obvious which we need to find. So I am guessing we need to go somewhere, like a live drop, to unlock the glyph.
That pretty much describes any of the quotes, tapes, vlogs, ads, etc. we have encountered.
This is saying we have solved everything, except one last riddle, but now we have what we need to figure it out.
So, imo, this is basically telling us to go somewhere. Anyone know how to get to the HG offices? Or maybe the original office? That is what I am thinking now.
That we, the Travellers and maybe likewise the players of WT, are created by Atlas within a simulation has already been theorised and speculated upon… actually, some believe that it is a part of the lore of No Man’s Sky (myself incuded). It’s exciting that a similar conclusion is drawn from an entirely different direction! Makes this whole thing feel much more integrated and fun!
In case of interest, you can read further here (abandonded facilities), and here (atlas interfaces).
“Sometimes you hear something that sticks in your mind afterward. You’ll wonder about it in your quiet moments. A question without an answer. A puzzle you can’t solve.”
For me that’s literally this exact moment and ~30 minutes before now - no ideas, no sigil, no glyph, no 4th add, no email from Atlas - nothing… Only silence…
