Yeah sorry, I read your comic, but then I'm talking about niche Good Old Fashioned AI things. You know how in O Sarilho, the sorta internet they connect to is a person or people. This idea was quite common in research programming, programs being something like long-lived game NPCs.
In the shared-text-adventure-but-it's-actually-real-life LambdaMOO, these NPCs are called puppets. I want to abduct your science fantasy vibes into my real life lisp programming.
