I think we have to treat the algorithm as a medical tool here, whose maintenance will be prioritised as such. So your premise is similar to "If all the scalpels break...".
- tylerrobinson 1y agoI’m think you might agree, though, that the likelihood of one premise is significantly greater than the other!
- akoboldfrying 1y agoSure. "MRI machine" would have been a better metaphor than "scalpel".
- azemetre 1y agoWhich is easier to build resilient systems for: the one where you have a few dozen extra scalpels in a storage closet or the one that requirements offsite backups, separate generators, constant maintenance? The premise is absolutely not the same.

- azemetre 1y agoSounds like a great system that benefits from having lots of money. IDK how such a thing can last in rural areas where there may be one single MRI machine to use in a 100 mile radius.
