Issue dossier
The current maker listing says the SAO was created for DEFCON 33, but this pass did not recover an original 2025 product page, dated announcement, schedule entry, drop record, production count, sales record, recipient list, or attendee report. The 2026 leftover listing does not by itself prove how, when, or whether units were originally distributed at DEF CON 33.

first-party coryallegory product listing
Live maker marketplace page whose product description says the SAO was created for DEFCON 33, then separately describes a 2026 leftover-unit pre-order for DEF CON 34 or BSidesLV pickup. It provides the assembled, 2 by 3 header, cycling multicolor keyboard-LED, $15 / five-sold / zero-remaining, and pickup claims, but its product media has no stated reusable license or explicit permission basis.

Primary first-party source for the maker-stated DEFCON 33 creation, Science Dog/Coder Dog wording, fully assembled standard 2 by 3 SAO header, cycling multicolor keyboard LEDs, AI-magic marketing phrase, and the later $15 / five-sold / zero-remaining 2026 pickup snapshot. It does not establish original DC33 distribution date, count, recipients, final 2026 handoff, controller, actual AI function, firmware, electrical safety, official status, admission, or image reuse permission.
