I'm going to leave the original post up so those not familiar can experience the insanity of this thread for themselves.

Also I'm guessing the {K} stands for Kojima possibly?

IIRC in PT {J} was Joakim Mogren so it wouldn't be too far feteched

Also both K and J are hidden letters in the trailers

This is definitely an ARG of some sorts. If you reduced the brightness, this shows up. Could be Machine Identification Code?

Here's about "Machine Identification Code": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code

In 2018, scientists from the TU Dresden developed and published a tool to extract and analyze the steganographic codes of a given color printer and subsequently to anonymize prints from that printer. The anonymization works by printing additional yellow dots on top of the Machine Identification Code.[1][2][3] The scientists made the software available in order to support whistleblowers in their efforts to publicize grievances.[18]

OLD BUT RELEVANT:

EDIT: IT JUST POSTED THIS

ORIGINAL POST

For those that are confused, Archillect is an AI program that automatically posts pictures/gifs on Twitter and its website every 10 minutes.

A month ago their site posted a few Death Stranding pictures + Ludens which people took notice. The metadata in them show they were taken in Iceland (DS setting). They then went to archillect.com/204863 and it redirected to kojimaproductions.com (204863 is an old PT easter egg number), so now people are getting hyped that when Archillect posts picture #204863 (which will happen in the next 2 hours) it will be death stranding related. Archillect.com/204863 still redirects to the official Kojima Production website. Archillect's creator has been long theorized to be in connection with Kojima.

Archillect is made by Murat Pak who knows Kojima and has been recently tweeting weird things about the game.

Archillect is an AI but the Death Stranding images posted by it do not have a source unlike all the other images which implies that the images have been uploaded manually as opposed to the AI doing it. Kojima's even retweeted a bunch of em.

They JUST posted this shot from the E3 2018 Death Stranding trailer

The 204863rd tweet is what we are hyped for. It could be a bunch of nothing but knowing Kojima it could be something.

This was their newest pic (posted 20 minutes ago)

I saw this on my TL but I don't understand. Is it close to Kojima Productions or something?

with the small updates this game has, i'm ok waiting for the actual game.
Following TPP trailers until release expecting something completely mindblowing story-wise and then getting what we got... I'll pass.

How this eludes some people I just can't wrap my mind around. But that's how Kojima's fanbase has always been.

Please read the OP. I've updated it with more info. It could easily be bull but knowing everything surrounding the release of PT I wouldn't be surprised if he did something like this.

This has nothing to do with Kojima. Archillect trawls tumblr for shit. This is ridiculous

To clarify I think the existence and establishment of Archillect was 100% nothing to do with Kojima.

He eventually found the account though and probably due to it being an """ai""" and liking what it posted, thought it would be a good tool to use for some type of Kojima-esque marketing.

Like I said, it could be bullshit, but it wouldn't be out of the realm of Kojima. I have low expectations but love ARG stuff like this so I'm in it for the fun of it.

It's a bot that trawls tumblr for "aesthetic" images. Pak, the creator, also tends to do some themed tweets for a period of time.

This could easily be Kojima working with Pak to use his platform to release something. Archillect definitely wasn't some Kojima ruse machine since day 1 but I could see him being interested in this "platform" as a way to tease some shit in an unorthodox way.

I'll concede if there is, but there's no real evidence of this. archillect sometimes have tweets without sourcing. it's always been that way.

It also posts these images without credit to the original artists, and the tweets can often get more attention than the artists' original posts. The source is usually linked in the replies but those never get nearly the amount of attention as the Archillect tweets do, which have no reason not to include a link to the original source.

Honestly it's just a shitty art stealing account that shouldn't get the amount of attention that it does.
