That’s the default text on asciitohex.com :wink:

I didn’t know where to put this and it’s not really worthy of a whole thread, but I was reading the first PDF again and noticed “the team at Facility Camus” being used. Well I saw Camus and immediately thought of Albert Camus, the French philosopher. Camus had a famous absurdist essay called The Myth of Sisyphus, based in part on the Greek myth of Sisyphus, a man who defied the gods by putting Death in chains so that humans didn’t need to die. Sounds like our Echoes, eh?

Especially considering that echo-64 uses a “markov-CHAIN inspired personality drive” to create the echos.

Are we suggesting that someone is uploading peoples consciousness’ into a computer simulation as a way to cheat death?

Sat here at lunch, eating spearmint Softmints, drinking some Fanta, and wondering how the hell people have gotten this far and not looked into Rekall at all.

Like, do you even sci-fi? :smiley:

Jas anyone made any progress on the Dropbox potential file (from the careers page) - what are people working on?

There are a fair few companies and products out there called Rekall, and the one at http://www.myrekall.com/ has a logo quite similar to the one in the echo-64 page. But to be fair, that is most likely a coincidence based on the name and recall is to do with memory

Sorry for the double post, but holy shit, how did I forget where the original film was set?!

This changes EVERYTHING.

Just learned about Waking Titan, book 2 in the Ruins of Mars series. There are so many references and cross references in all this! My head is spinning.

This probably not relevant, but, on the homepage, in the hexagon there is the $ for USD whereas on the “History” page, on the little tab that talks about money, it shows the Euro symbol (€).

It probably means nothing, but it seems rather odd that there is that inconsistency. I suppose they do posit themselves as an international company, but maybe someone will have a theory regarding the reason.

My theory is different people worked on different web pages. Unless told otherwise, we naturally default to known wordings.

Just like in online games: Those from North America tend to pass other players on the right and players from the UK/Japan tent to pass other players on the left…it is what we default to in life.

Wow, you’re right. From the book’s description: “…it is Braun, the team’s AI, who truly sees just how far the influence of the mysterious race has reached. Echoing through time and space, a force drives Braun far from his programmed limitations and into a reality that is fractured and broken.”
An AI that moves beyond its limitations? That sound like what may be happening with the echo-64.com Echoes. Into a reality that is shattered and broken sounds like how this other reality is slowing leaking into ours. This whole thing definitely sounds like it was inspired by or even based on this book; not to mention it has the same name.

There is also another greek myth regarding echoes

Dropbox was a mistake, the remnence of wordpress code from an older site which used the same style.

I think you should delete this info before anyone here spams this poor person. Those links seemed to occasionally retain contact info that was filled in by others (saw it a few times myself with different contact info). I’m 99% sure they are just other people like us looking into every nook and cranny of the website we can find.

I just noticed under careers that the requirement for the position is to have Alibabbi Cloud Computing Platform experience. I at first just figured this referred to this: Alibaba Group - Wikipedia. Then I realized it was misspelled. So I did a search and there is no such thing as Alibabbi Cloud Computing.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be referring to? Is it just a typo?

I believe it’s just content filler
