He argues that because AI yields cheap rewards with minimal input, curtailing use and cultivating discipline may be necessary to prevent the tools becoming liabilities.

The incident highlights the danger of connecting account-recovery workflows to generative AI without strict safeguards.

The build also opens files directly, displays image thumbnails for images, and supports drag-and-drop onto the input area.

The piece argues that reliably measuring AI ROI is currently impossible because LLM hallucinations and wildly varying prompts and interfaces make task costs and outcomes unpredictable, and it offers a paid newsletter with deeper analyses of AI, finance and related topics.

Microsoft says both were trained from scratch on enterprise-grade, commercially licensed data without distillation from third‑party models, and MAI‑Thinking‑1 is claimed to outperform Sonnet 4.6 in blind human evaluations; observers have questioned what "appropriately licensed" data was used.

The cap amounts to as much as $36,000 per engineer per year if two tools are used—about 11% of Uber's median US software-engineer compensation—and reflects the loss of generous subsidized individual plans for large organisations.

She recommends leaders design feedback loops linking enthusiasts and skeptics to rebuild shared reality and balance innovation with trust.
