    Anyone getting the “What they want may not be what we want” feeling here?

    Ohhh yeah, Michael.
    To translate the data, they need the data: Would you trust their translations?
    What sort of fail safe were their designers implementing (and why) when they ensured the towers couldn’t see the upload information?

    It makes sense from a “Role-Based Access Control” perspective. The tower AI would be perfect as front-line operators. They have full ability to perform daily operations, maintenance, security and administrative tasks. Low effort, daily, repetitive tasks and whatever else is needed to keep the lights on. The humans, on the other hand, require Admin access to the high-level functionality that you don’t trust to automation. Stuff you don’t do every day, but is considered “mission critical” and probably needs multiple layers of approval where everything is locked down. I don’t doubt for a minute that the Migration System can only be accessed by a “Privileged Access Workstation” that some fool left logged in all these years. Honestly, if that terminal doesn’t have a password protected screen saver on it, Gage just needs to zero out the upload of whomever was in charge of tower Identity and Access Control.
