David, was it you? Brushwork is different but these were done relatively quick I suppose.

Wasn`t me.

Plot twist. It was Googol himself.

I personally think it's uploading at a random pace (no maths).

Might just be a perception issue, but some days it has seemed to hang in the same numbers and then all of the sudden other days it's doing fast.

I really hope there's another video and something a bit more solid.

I think why Reed freaks out when ~she~ moves on the screen is because the machine has never done that. It was able to create a Vivarium for simple non-living things (or when it does replicate/create a living thing it is dead/still (Why she falls off the chair)).
So when Reed sees ~herself~ move, that is new thing and she freaks out.

My thoughts of the evolution of this machine/idea is that it was simple at first but as they ~tuned~ it and let it ~learn~ it becomes more advanced in what it can do (also this is why it was not able to create itself in the image (or that once Reed saw it was able to replicate/create life she feared that it would/could replicate itself, a machine in a machine (what spurs of the whole What is reality theme).

It might not have been able (or it just hadn't done that before) to create a dead/unconscious person before either, because she's a bit surprised of that as well. They also might not have let the machine learn anything, maybe they didn't even fully know yet what it is/does/can do.

What is true, I am quite interested to see if this is about one object/machine/thing or is it going to be a few things.

I'm going to be kind of mad if we have to wait for 100% 6 more times after this one.

[Kman]

you will

Don't know about that but sort of 'in total' it has done 1%/1,5h. -> 30h left -> next teaser tomorrow around 3PM GMT.

Yep, we will have to wait. But ~6 days is not bad at all if we get a nice text log and a video every time.

Has anyone deciphered what the red lettering on the side of the desk says?

When the screen flashes at the beginning of the video log, pause it at just the right moment to see the red lettering.

If it's Chinese, and you can get me a screenshot I can help translate it

I think it's T2G0 HPP. Partly due to that also being in the twitter image they posted.
