The obvious problem with this argument is that in just the medium term, world-model style AI will get good at this task, but having big brother pre-approve every print will still be bad.

How? The printer only ever retrieves G code for individual parts without any knowledge of what they are going to be assembled into. There is no viable way to solve this classification problem on this kind of incomplete data, is there?

Btw, AFAIK they also want to lock down the slicer.

How the hell can you do that.

GCODE is mostly about pure maths and geometry (well, there's other stuff but in principle). They would forbid math? "Euclid is illegal."

If I remember correctly, they want the gcode to be watermarked. Or signed?

Maybe gcode watermarked and slicer signed? I can't remember. Something silly, that is for sure.
