[ She's intensely curious about how trying to set up diplomatic relations with a simulated group of former Chosen went. It seems likely to reveal something interesting about their setting and their A.I. ]
Some things aren't recoverable for computers, either. We have to be really careful with the backups we have until we can make contact with her and connect with the current iteration of the A.I.
We didn't get to talk that much, unfortunately, but I started calling her 'she' because someone else did. It doesn't feel right to call her 'it' anymore. If she tells me differently, I'll use something else.
[ That is personifying it quite a bit -- but Claude won't object. Even if he doesn't believe in it himself (and he's not certain that he doesn't, merely lacking in any personal connection), it will only motivate others to perhaps be a bit... kinder about it. ]
It's my understanding that a back-up is more or less the saved data of whatever is on the device, right? Is saving her just a question of managing to create or recreate a powerful enough vessel to contain it?
That's a good analogy. You got it. We debated a lot in the nerd club about what kind of hardware could hold something as complicated as her. If it comes up short, it's like trying to put the executive functioning of a human into a mouse brain. But we think we got it.
Not that we can check -- she's inaccessible right now -- but we got her.
Does the vessel necessarily need to be technological in nature? Would she ever be able to be transferred to an organic vessel? Or a magical one?
I've heard whisperings about that sort of thing in my own homeland, of souls able to transcend to different vessels. Not that I'm volunteering, mind. But we could explore our magical options as well as our technological ones.
