Transitioning from deterministic systems to probabilistic agents requires trading certainty for semantic flexibility. People trained on strict interfaces will find this uncomfortable. However, forcing an agent into a deterministic box defeats the purpose of using one. Instead of coding away ambiguity, start engineering systems that are resilient enough to handle it.

Speaking of wondering if robots are coming for jobsā¦ well, maybe. Massachusetts Institute of Technology released a study today that found AI can already replace 11.7% of the U.S. labor market, or as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, healthcare, and professional services.
The iPhone 17 models have been a hit in both the US and China. Apple has seen double-digit year-over-year sales growth in both markets. The cooling of US-China trade tensions and a depreciating dollar have boosted purchases in emerging markets. The growth will propel Apple past longtime rival Samsung this year.
Google's protein prediction system AlphaFold has enabled researchers across the Asia-Pacific region to make significant advances in disease research and biological discovery since its launch five years ago. Recent breakthroughs include Malaysian researchers using AlphaFold to accelerate drug development against melioidosis, a bacterial disease that kills nearly 90,000 annually.
Former OpenAI researcher Andrej Karpathy just urged educators to abandon efforts to catch AI-generated homework, arguing detection tools are broken, and that grading needs to shift back into the classroom in the AI age. Karpathy said educators will ānever be able to detectā the use of AI in homework, and that detectors ādonāt workā and are ādoomed to failā.
