If I can run 50,000 fixed tasks that cost me $0.834/hr but OpenAI is costing $37/hr and the automation takes 40x as long and can make TERRIBLE errors why the fuck would I not move to the deterministic system?

But now, we not only have laptops, we run horribly inefficient GUIs in horribly inefficient VMs on them.
