read the value stored in this atomic and do not care about synchronization.
In case of concurrent write operations, the result that is read may be outdated. In the presence of concurrent writes and no synchronization, out-of-thin-air values are possible (see https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3276506).
In general, this is useful only for debugging or monitoring purposes where occasionally wrong random results are acceptable.
