you forgot to mention how you need software to unlock the machine again after a switch failed and you replaced it. software that costs a lot of money or isnt even available to farmers. so you replace the switch and the machine tells you "go to dealer to unlock huehue" but you cant move the machine, and calling the dealer out costs you days in time

Yeah, if they're in the same trench/conduit then that certainly presents additional challenges. For sites that are subject to frequent construction and/or maintenance activities such as airports, it would be prudent to have at least one backup that is using a different physical route. In some facilities that I'm familiar with, they've gone with wireless systems (microwave, satellite, etc) as a backup in case the physical link goes down.

Interesting point. But aren't mistakes and malicious misuse the same risks we've always had with information provided by people long before AI was a figment of anyone's imagination?

Yeah I mean, the reason "organic" things "look organic" is inherently because they conformed to their shape using largely the same type of mechanisms these AI designed parts use.

So it makes sense and is super cool.

The really fancy part is the design process can include "is easy to manufacture with 3d printers without supports" as part of its training set

So you can end up with these optimized organic looking parts that can also easily "print in place" from industrial machines
