Isn't the most common failure modes of electronics capacitors dying, followed closely by heat in chips? This research sounds cool and all.

So we've got the liquid metal https://www.tomsguide.com/us/liquid-metal-is-real-chinese-researchers,news-29684.html

but according to this article,

The vitrimer circuit boards also can be deconstructed at their end of life using alkaline hydrolysis, enabling recovery of key components such as the liquid metal and LEDs. Fully reusing all components of the conductive composites in a closed-loop process remains a goal for future research.

So slapping AI on it doesn't get us Terminator tech yet, but we're on our way.

We're doomed. 😰
