I work in an industry that requires reproducible binaries from source, and cryptographic hashes filed with a regulator.

It's also not aviation or medical. So perhaps it's more common than you imagine.

I think my comment conveyed the wrong sentiment, my bad. I’m suggesting exactly this: there are extremely common cases in which deterministic software outcomes are needed/mandatory/regulated. Way more often than we think, often in boring and solved but critical environments. Yet the entire AI industry acts as if that is an afterthought or an unimportant edge case.
