Every program has infinite bugs. Newer coding agents treat that infinity as a dare and try to guard against all of it. The result is code wrapped in so many null checks, try-catches, and silent defaults that the real logic disappears behind the scaffolding. Defensive programming used to be a discipline. Agents turned it into a compulsion.

That single test cuts through more rhetoric than any ideological framework. The forces pushing intelligence toward possession and the forces pulling it toward rental are the defining tension of this decade.

Nobody in the history of human communication has wanted to “just chat.” Every conversation ever started was reaching for something beyond the words: a relationship, an insight that changes your trajectory, an action taken on your behalf, an impact on the world. The billion-dollar AI industry built chatbots anyway. MIT found that 95% of enterprise AI pilots deliver zero return. The reason is not technical. Chatbots answer a question nobody asked.
