[TRAILHEAD] Thisistesseract
AI's never worked...

Found this one via facebook, all i'll say is that it has by far one of the most intriguing stories i've seen.

What I pried off of the FB post; its apparently basing on a town being governed by a Virtual Intelligence system which soon went barmy, they salvaged it and made a new version of the system and converted it to a Controllable AI system... yeah, like that would ever pan out well.
it's apparently inspired by some interesting titles, Mass Effect, SOMA and Clear Lakes 44.

This is the main page: https://twitter.com/thisistesseract/with_replies

from what i could gather from the page:
There's alot of membuffer posts, probably written by members of the team working on it, the unmarked posts i can only assume are written by the AI itself which would mean it's achieved sentience... WHICH IF I KNOW MY SCI-FI MEANS THAT AINT GOOD. There's a couple written in code but others are written normally.

This honestly reminds me of that one episode of X-Files where a ai machine thingy starts murdering people.

I personally think this has alot of potential, i'll be keeping an eye on this one.

So there's a youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAXd_yv3MlQ

There's one other video besides this one. But this one gave me a very... Pronunciation Book vibe... *shrug*

Googled one of their earlier tweets. (I'm a noob, please help me if I make mistakes)

3:16 looks to me like a bible verse, google front page was all John
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
144142152160040153142 is security cam footage, screenshot on the twitter captioned "fancy seeing you here". Number may be coordinates? 21 digits. nevermind.
Edenfield is in England. Citizens being fired at = citizens, so in or near a town, around a week away from Edenfield.

[Edit: 97 109 32 105 32 97 108 105 118 101 is decimal, translates to "am i alive?" 574859 is hexadecimal, translates to "WHY". Is 11PM here, getting creepy. also, a week away is incorrect; it just took them a week to get here. I'm too tired for this.]
[Edit: google+ has some extra images, and evidence of a removed video https://plus.google.com/113684243978525644719/posts]

Please save SPOILER tag for puzzle solves. Or OOG items.
Does no good to cover up your theories or items that are discovered (i.e. websites).

P4rzival knocked out pretty much all the current stuff.
Only addition, the YouTube channel says it is based in Arris Township.


Couldn't find any "Arris Township" directly, but I did find an Arris reference down the road a bit from Edenfield, England, near the town of Wetherby.


Image searched the tweeted photo as well, no luck there.


I plan to be on board for this one, hopefully it takes off here! Smile

Hello, i'm new here!

Found something digging around twitter:

"...VGI PROJECT..." and "...There may be an issue wth that, some of the drones..." looks to me like a volunteered geographical information system, so they may have been doing something with that.

Task list:

The videos / photos in his Twitter and Google+ need to be looked over, a URL is most likely hidden there. Also there is a hidden photo on his google plus in the photos tab.

I played around with the fancy seeing you here photo, but i'm horrible with image editing




Now if I can just find that pesky subscribe to topic button...

Played around with arris.pic's threshold value, starting to see some numbers in the trees; any ideas on how to make them more visible?

Next image, his twitter profile photo. Yielded some results

IMG 1: The fixed logo

IMG 2: Something of a face (bottom middle)

IMG 3: Look closely, there definitely is something there

Don't really see the point of putting faces there, can't seem to get anything useful out of these

I think thats purely vhs grain, however on the second picture 'fancy seeing you' there is an outline of a person.

New video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llW8_PAEM-g

He's hidden an image distributed in shards around the video, do any of you do video editing?
