Haha, indeed. Although, who knows if folklore is just survivorship bias. If the villain succeeds then the story is not as interesting right?

"Necessity is the mother of invention".

If someone is capable of doing something, and your goal is to prevent them from doing it, the worst thing you can do is to make it necessary for them to do it.

Yes, exactly. Probably a settlement similar in spirit to Google v Uber RE: Anthony Levandowski stealing self driving IP

Doesn't it require some form of educated electorate to sustain a functioning democracy? Otherwise it is really "by the people" if they are merely avatars?

Probably helpful to add why, otherwise this is just seems intended to trigger biases

I guess this is trend now because it's a contrarian / attention grabbing headline. See:

- "Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity..." https://fortune.com/2026/02/17/ai-productivity-paradox-ceo-s...

- “Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI…” https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intell...

But fundamentally, large shifts like this are like steering a super tanker, the effects take time to percolate through economies as large and diversified as the US. This is the Solow paradox / productivity paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox

  > The term can refer to the more general disconnect between powerful computer technologies and weak productivity growth

I think the point bcherny is making in the last few threads is that, the new verbose mode _default_ is not as verbose as it used to be and so it is not "too verbose to handle that". If you want "too verbose", that is still available behind a toggle

I think the more apt analog isn't a faster car, a la Ferrari, it's more akin to someone who likes to drive and now has to sit and monitor the self-driving car steer and navigate. Comparing to the Ferrari is incorrect since it still takes a similar level of agency from the driver versus a <insert slower vehicle>

Terrible take in the 2nd premise of your argument. Is Venezuela a sovereign nation or a colony? Can similar logic be applied against Russia or even the US?

Actually, not quite how this works. You always get valid JSON, as in this sequence from the readme:

```json {"name": "Al"} {"name": "Ale"} ```

So the braces are always closed

Yes, but it is not MTE, they are technically different. That's what I was attempting to point out but thought it may have been a typo
