You forgot that this whole discussion started from the question "What contexts would the AI model need for analyzing, let's say, cluster-wide incident other than the observability data that such systems anyway collect already?". If one wants to automate resolution, then it becomes necessary to feed all kinds of information into the decision engine, precisely to compensate the incompleteness of each source of information.

They're still being solved because there are people that hold that information in their minds. If you want to automate this, you need to feed the source code in its entirety into the decision engine.

Due to automation, the used market has gotten more efficient so places like Goodwill are no longer a good deal because they're selling their high value items (like good electronics or 4K Blu-ray discs) to various intermediaries.

For the same reason why I try to avoid work done by slaves, for example Chinese solar panels manufactured in Xinjiang concentration camps. They're repugnant at origin.

> it seems odd to care how 10% of it was produced

To me, it seems odd not to care.

Go buy an AVR and get yourself a proper 5.1.2 home theater (even in a living room); and then the TV will be just a dumb display with the AVR acting as multiplexer.

Also very likely true.
