I'm already having lots of success letting the agent loose on the arduino or rpi and figuring out all the annoying i2c bits and having me try different pinout and wiring combos until it works. Even with a human in the loop agents are useful right now for electronics. On one occasion I did give it a camera feed so it could check for itself if the LEDs were doing as expected.
I remember my friend Peter, in 1999, on campus networking with 100 Mbit internet saying: I think this will be enough for many years to come. And he was kinda right — 100 Mbit is still "almost good enough" 27 years later for internet access.
