This HBR piece from 1993 persuasively argues that incentive plans don't & can’t work. Absent some level of ongoing outside review/input, I see Gen AI failing the same way - achieving what they’re incented to do, but missing the overall goals

This is a great piece from @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com two main takeaways: 1) Monitoring your costs is a practice you need to have at all times; 2) It's seductive but rarely as easy or cheap as it seems to "build it yourself" esp when you think long-term about what business you're actually in
