Slashdot effect. At one time/. was successful. I learned many technical things here back in the day, particularly about the nuances and tradeoffs in operating system. There used to be very knowledgeable people who used this site.

We've known the math for adaptive control (my degree) for 100 years. The AI hype is the same as 'now with a computer' patent rush of a few years ago. I have an AI mouse trap that goes off when a mouse steps on it.
While designing my solar system, I spent a few months logging data with my kill-a-watt. Not only did I learn how much energy things used, I learned how to vary loads to maximize daytime energy use, greatly reducing the amount of storage (batteries) I needed for night.
Remote Agent (RAX), remote intelligent self-repair software developed at NASA's Ames Research Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was the first artificial-intelligence control system to control a spacecraft without human supervision.
I used to do this in my lab as part of a manufacturing process for all kinds of things (and have related patents). PVD. It takes quite a bit of power and is very slow. Too many potential problems to enumerate here, but things like impurities causing fractures in the periodic crystalline structure.
Balloon use makes up about 2% of helium. He is also a byproduct of nuclear fission and there is considerable material for that. Also research balloons use considerable amounts of He, it's not all for parties.

it wasn't called iot back then. It beat the 386 by a year.
I connected a coffee maker to the internet in the early 90's.
Aldous Huxley won.

At one job I had, sending boards to technicians for repair or modification cost thousands of dollars for single chip repairs on a 20cm x 20cm sbc.
I used to write bootloaders for various OS's and hardware. Once you have access to this, you own the system. What will this do to security?

Would you call the governor on a steam engine that maintains a constant speed regardless of the load AI?
The decision involved was taken by the humans that wrote the SRD for the software.

Don't be silly. This is fully Turing deterministic free will on the part of the cpu in the rover.
"3D printing" is not new.
I'm pretty sure that a part could be flown anywhere in the world in a few hours vs a few days to make something and v&v it on site.

"It don't fly till the paperwork weighs more than the plane."
Yes it is.
Why didn't you get your kids phones when they were 7? I started programming TI calculators when I was 5.
But not physically impossible. $=engineering=technology. Anything that is physically possible is possible with enough motivation ($$).
It would make much more sense to colonize cave 5km underground for these scenarios.
Without CATS, nothing in space is possible except on demonstration scale.

Ten guys, two women.
Birds that flew in from elsewhere on holiday
Why not let the robots do the exploration also?
