    Crazy part is: can’t tell if this intended or a bug

      Can you think of a bug that makes sense in this case?

          It is most certainly the kind of subtle bug the LLMs love to slip in and burn you in production

          Not sure what y’all are thinking with these unwritten conspiracy theories that begin and end with “it’s intentional”

        Assuming that it's intentional, what's the motivation?

          Get more people to turn on telemetry.

          Publish new features first to clients that provide feedback, so rollout can be stopped, if there's an issue with new version. Telemetry off effectively prioritizes stability over speed of recieving new versions.
