“We have a class of products with deterministic cost and stochastic outputs: a built-in unresolved tension. Users insert the coin with certainty, but will be uncertain of whether they'll get back what they expect. This fundamental mismatch between deterministic mental models and probabilistic reality produces frustration — a gap the industry hasn't yet learned to bridge.”
And all the news today around AI being a bubble -
We’re still learning what we can do with these models and how to evaluate them but industry and capitalism forces our hand into building sellable products rapidly

(unrelated) what's the font used for the cursive in the article? the heading is ibm plex serif and the content dm mono, but the cursive font is simply labeled as dm mono which isn't accurate
oh! i mistook 'dm' to be 'dm mono', but this appears to be correct

Chrome Dev console shows that the italics font is indeed named "dm" just like the rest of the content. It is not really a cursive, only a few letters are stylized ("f", "s" and "l").
It is possible (and often desirable) to use different WOFF fonts for italics, and they can look quite different from the standard font.

This seems like an expression of The Bitter Lesson:
I will believe this theory if someone shows me that the ratio of scientists to engineers of leading teams of the leading companies deploying AI products is bigger than 1.
