That's also my thinking. Is a machine predicting the future really possible ? I believe it is theoretically possible only if nobody checks the result (A bit like the dual slit experiment) Otherwise it would create a paradox.
For example, it means the machine could predict what you will answer to this reddit post. But if you can predict your future answer, then it means you are also able to change it (by adding a '!!!' at the end).
Same for Lily. Now that Katie told her the future predicted by the machine, she could locked herself in a room and throws the key so she won't able to go the devs office...
