Rolling the dice is accomplished by mixing optimizations flags, PGO data and what parts of the CPU get used.

Or by using a managed language with dynamic compiler (aka JIT) and GC. They are also not deterministic when executed, and what outcome gets produced, it is all based on heuristics and measured probabilities.

Yes, the quote does apply because many cannot grasp the idea of how technology looks beyond today.

You are waaaaay over exaggerating the non-deterministic nature of compiled code if you think it's anywhere near the ballpark of how unpredictable LLMs are.
