I think a simpler model is variety.

There are billions of people, you can interview/hire/fire until you get the right match.

There are 2? frontier LLM providers. 5? if you are more generous / ok with more trailing edge.

Everyone thought OpenAI was great, until Claude got better in Q1 and they switched to Anthropic, and then Codex got better and a good chunk moved back to OpenAI.. Seems kind of binary currently.

Being able to fire someone, thus causing potentially significant hardship, is considered quite normal and acceptable in most lines of work.
