Bsky link, mild description of morbid art references behind links
To be fair, nearly every artist friend I know would have also been interested in this: https://bsky.app/profile/tkingfisher.bsky.social/post/3ktaxabeqr22k

Sierra On-Line accidentally included the source code to their AGI adventure game engine on some copies of Space Quest II. Its presence is not obvious but with enough sector sleuthing it is possible to recover about 70% of it. The recovered source code is peppered with illuminating comments regarding its history and authors. It can be examined in a GitHub repo linked in the article.

short rant on malicious tech
Anyway, any time this kind of scheme comes up, the questions start with "how is this better than what already exists"? Usually it isn't.
Instead, ask "how can this be used to steal shitloads of money or user data". And you'll arrive very quickly at how it's probably going to get used.
short rant on malicious tech
When you get down to it, the reason tech keeps investing in blockchain or AI or whatever it is next week is they're all efficient money laundering engines.
They have no long term technical merit, or had it stripped away, to steal at scale. And the reason companies all go for it is they're getting a cut of the money.
We really, really need to tax the rich, until their lives stop being contests using these as table stakes to see who can enrich themselves the fastest.

Oh, so that's what a Seveliten says. Good to know. Thanks, Lily. [Thlily].
Sevelitens are a species created by @FelisRandomis, who also drew this picture. Have to admit, it's a good look for Lily. But then, I'm biased.

Veilkiria possesses attributes of several different elements. Her ability to harness the magic of each one means she can alter their properties to change her appearance.
